 <\/p>\n

What is an IT Recruitment Consultant?<\/b><\/p>\n

Basically, as an IT Recruitment Consultant, I connect candidates to clients in the IT industry and support candidates during their job change.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How did you come to be IT Recruitment Consultant at YourCode?<\/b><\/p>\n

I studied maths at university and I thought that I would be a data specialist. I realised I wanted a break from maths, however, and tried recruitment for a new challenge. I found I liked the contact with people and pursued it as a career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was an IT recruiter in my previous company for two years before joining YourConsultancy Group but I wanted to improve my English skills. At YourCode, I have daily contact with candidates whilst communicating in English so I would definitely say that I\u2019m meeting this ambition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What advice would you give someone interested in a career in recruitment?<\/b><\/p>\n

There are many opportunities for IT recruiters right now so I would say just try to apply.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is no one direct path I think; I started from a research position which was a great experience for me to gain an understanding of the responsibilities of a recruiter. If you start from a basic role and improve, there are many possibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How have you developed in the role?<\/b><\/p>\n

Since joining YourCode my confidence in English has improved and is improving still.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just that though, contact with candidates makes me learn something new every day because they\u2019ll often talk about everything except their job change! I like it though, I enjoy talking to lots of different people, it\u2019s one of the best parts of the job.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What key skills are essential in your position?<\/b><\/p>\n

Because it\u2019s quite a people-centred job, I would say being a good communicator and being open-minded is important because you will work with a wide range of people every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s also important to remember that the decision to change jobs isn\u2019t often an easy one and so it\u2019s up to you to be supportive to help candidates.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What makes YourCode a great place to work? Why is it different?<\/b><\/p>\n

I feel support from every team member – everybody welcomed me so warmly and are so helpful if I ever have any questions or difficulties. It\u2019s surprising how close contact feels despite working entirely remotely in another country. I feel listened to; I\u2019m not just instructed to do tasks but asked my opinion on things.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can you describe a typical day in the office?<\/b><\/p>\n

Since I work fully remote from Poland – I’ve never actually been in the office! I love working remotely because I like to sleep and appreciate the extra time to snooze afforded by the fact that I don\u2019t have to commute! It\u2019s also very helpful to work in the Polish time zone with our international clients and candidates.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What does the future hold for the world of Technology recruitment?<\/b><\/p>\n

I think like in every sector, automation will play a large role in the future job market. In recruitment though, there are many skills required that only a human can perform – recruiters can\u2019t be entirely replaced by robots.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What exciting things are on the horizon for YourCode?<\/b><\/p>\n

I think what\u2019s exciting is that it\u2019s so unpredictable!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
