ATTENTION: Recruiters, HR & TA specialists, BizDev managers, recruitment & sales managers:

"Your Team Is Missing Out On

Commissions And Bonuses Because
They Are Not Filling All The IT
Positions They Can!"
If your team is like most I worked with, they can start lling more IT vacancies as
soon as they understand all the technical terminology in JDs and CVs.

Recruitment agencies hire me when they face some of these challenges:

• Recruiters have hard time analyzing their job requirements because they are
full of IT terms they don't know,
• They are not con dent when engaging with IT candidates or hiring managers,
• Technical CVs are a "blackbox" because of the abundance of IT terminology,
• They are ine cient when matching candidates with positions because the IT
roles are vague and confusing.

But the good news is that they CAN do better in IT recruitment. I've

helped clients from Europe, the US, and Asia to ll more IT positions and
I'm here to help your team, too!
