About the IT Recruiter role

The IT Recruiter specialises in closing technical openings: development, data, infrastructure. They understand enough of the stack to screen without depending 100% on the hiring manager, and they know where passive technical talent lives.

It differs from a generalist recruiter in one key way: the technical market is more competitive, candidates hold several offers at once, and speed of response matters as much as filter quality.
