How to Hire Top Technical Recruiters

How to hire technical recruiters

Hiring for tech is not the same as hiring for other roles. Technical recruiters have a working knowledge of the skills, technologies, and tools needed to fulfill a certain role.  So how do you hire technical recruiters? What follows are some tips for finding top technical recruiters on Upwork.

How to shortlist technical recruiting professionals

As you’re browsing available technical recruiting consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:
  • Industry fit. You want a technical recruiter who understands your industry so they will know which skills, tools, and technologies to look for when screening talent. 
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., sourcing DevOps engineers).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular technical recruiter.

How to write an effective technical recruiter job post

With a clear picture of your ideal technical recruiter in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.  An effective technical recruiter job post should include: 
  • Scope of work: From writing job posts to conducting interviews, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or collaborative tools, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
