Applicant Tracking, Recruitment Marketing, Sourcing and Talent CRM software are powerful alone, but unstoppable when used together!
Talking with HR professionals, especially the ones that are not very tech savvy, we saw a great need for identifying the right skills and job descriptions for tech roles. For that reason, we decided to create a little cheat sheet of tech roles and matching skills. In addition, if you are not familiar with all of these roles and skills, we have defined the ones that people struggle the most with. Not very familiar with tech language in general? Get this free Technology Glossary for Recruiters and HR Managers written for recruiters and HR managers.
In case that you are looking for job descriptions for these roles, or want to publish them with one click, we have created ready-to-post job descriptions templates tech and many other roles.
