Description

This course is the second in a series of technical dissertations specifically geared to an IT Recruiter. So much of the training for IT Recruiters is based upon the rote memorization of complex terms and dry definitions. Most of it is created by technologists who have NO idea what a recruiter does on a daily basis.

All of our training content was created with the intention of turning that knowledge into content you can use to qualify IT candidates. Recruiters don't NEED to understand Networking to source, contact or close candidates. It would give you an unfair competitive edge when it comes to QUALIFYING candidates.

I have spent the last 25 years with a foot straddling two disparate realms: IT Recruiting and Software Engineering. I bring a unique blend of insight and experience into providing training so recruiters can engage with technologists more effectively. I cut my teeth in the mid-90s at an IT staffing firm and started a SaaS firm that offers a technical interview platform for Recruiters in 2016.

My students will get the benefit of my blended professional heritage.

The objective of all of the training material we publish here is to cultivate something we call “Conversational Competence”, the innate ability to draw upon a pool of internal knowledge that lets you insert technical analysis or interrogation into any conversation with a technical counterpart.

This course will give you comprehensive understanding of Networking. It doesn't matter if you don't personally work on a lot of Networking requirements for this course to have long-term value and impact. You are going to learn the history of Networking and the Internet and the underlying protocols needed to make all of it possible.

Imagine speaking to a candidate and confidently asking them to explain how DNS helps you find a website or how a TCP handshake works. You will be able to do this without blinking.

Get ready to have the shroud of mystery related to technical subjects unveiled in a way you have never experienced before.

Who Should Attend!

This course is for ALL technical recruiters, even if you do not handle a lot of networking positions. Developers often have to understand protocols like TCP/IP and HTTP, so not having this knowledge puts a hole in your game.
