With a high demand for IT professionals, the Tech industry is a market where a recruiter is interested in a candidate, not the other way round.
Here is a list of things all good Technical Recruiters do:
Always learn and evolve, as the environment in Tech changes fast and continuously updates, unlike other fields.
Use industry-specific recruiting tools, channels, and methods as the regular (non-Tech) ones may not be sufficient or even relevant.
Always try to get a foundational knowledge of the technologies they're recruiting for.
Develop a strong reputation as recruiters, and make their social profiles attractive to Tech candidates.
Have excellent soft skills to effectively build relationships with candidates and overcome the prejudice of recruiters that IT/Tech professionals often have.
Ultimately, an accomplished Tech Recruiter understands the importance of getting to know the candidates to choose the right way to approach and engage with them. Any IT job is more than just money — the experience that your open role offers also matters a lot. In other words, IT/Tech recruitment is more strategic and much less sales-oriented, compared to other fields.
