Everything you need to know about recruiting IT talent
With over 200 talents currently on assignment in multiple organizations, ITI Resource Placement’s IT recruitment expertise is well established. Before mandating us to fill a position or a job, our clients often have questions, so our team has compiled a list. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions!
Why choose a specialized IT recruitment firm?
ITI has over 30 years’ experience in IT, including 15 years specifically in IT recruitment. Our team of specialized recruiters relies on this expertise to fully understand our customers’ needs and technological environment, to exceed expectations and to provide an efficient recruitment service tailored to each business’s realities.
It’s important to me to come alongside our customers and help them better define their recruitment needs and challenges. I ask them questions that help me understand why they want to hire someone so we can introduce them to the right candidate. That’s how we make our IT recruitment consultants’ expertise work for our clients.
How much does it cost to hire an IT expert through specialized recruiters?
Hiring costs for an IT expert depend on a host of factors, such as the type of position or mandate to fill, the experience and training required, and the scarcity of the candidate’s desired profile.
By calling on our specialized IT recruitment firm, you have the flexibility to find a solution tailored to your current context and economic reality. You could, for example, choose to hire an employee on a trial basis first and benefit from having a specialist on the team for a set period, then have the option to hire them.
Depending on our customers’ specific circumstances, we may recommend that they hire an expert for a few months, and then convert the position into a permanent one. It’s reassuring for the employer, who has the freedom to assess how the situation evolves. They can then choose to keep our specialist on assignment or integrate them permanently into their team.
Do I pay a fee to hire IT talent?
Our team handles the entire recruitment process, free of charge. This includes identifying the client’s needs, searching for qualified candidates, interviewing them, conducting technical tests, and so on. You only pay once your expert is on the job.
Can I choose which IT expert will be placed on my team?
Of course! You remain in control of your recruitment. From job description to key interviews, we work hand in hand with you to carry out the entire IT recruitment process. Our team is there to support you, identify potential candidates and guide you throughout the process, but you make the final decision.
How do you vet a candidate’s technical expertise?
Our IT recruitment consultants’ expertise in filling IT positions is constantly being refined through ongoing training by external firms, but also through the close ties that ITI Resource Placement’s experts maintain with experts from ITI’s other business units. Our team relies on its vast IT knowledge to efficiently prequalify candidates.
Additionally, in the last year, our team worked in close collaboration with our customers to add technical tests to its offer. These tests help assess a candidate’s knowledge of highly specialized technological fields and ensure that they meet a project or mandate’s specific needs. That’s why it pays to work with specialized IT recruiters! We have both the recruitment expertise and the technological expertise to really understand what a job description entails.
Do you always have IT experts available?
We have placed over 200 talents throughout Quebec in businesses of all kinds, and our candidate database brings together more than 17,000 IT professionals. We often have experts already on hand that are perfectly suited to your needs.
And if we don’t, we’ll tell you. If we are not confident we can find your perfect match or if we need to head hunt them, we’ll let you know from the start.
Whatever the case may be, our IT recruiters know the job market inside and out. They know where to find candidates that are keen to join your team.
I urgently need an IT specialist. Can I hire someone through you while going through the hiring process in parallel? I want to make sure I find the right candidate quickly?
Absolutely! We can start our recruitment process while you do yours. If you find your ideal candidate on your own, you won’t have to pay a thing.
Do you guarantee satisfaction with the candidate?
Yes. Once a candidate has joined your organization, we follow up regularly to ensure smooth onboarding. We can then make sure that your IT talent’s integration is going well and that your expectations are met, both in terms of technical and interpersonal skills. Should an issue arise, we work with you and the talent on duty in your organization to rectify the situation. You have our full cooperation!
For permanent positions, we offer a three-month satisfaction guarantee. Should the candidate not meet expectations within this timeframe (a situation that very rarely happens), we commit to finding a replacement IT professional for the position.
