IT recruitment is known as a good field for people with good English skills. But is it really? 🤔

We talked to Anna Borodich, a key recruiter at Exadel, to see if we could demystify her work 👇

🎙 How long have you been in IT recruiting?

"I have been in recruiting for two years. I was always interested in working in IT, but I wasn’t interested in programming itself. By accident, I met a friend who worked as a lead recruiter, who told me about what she does. It was all new to me - I didn’t even know the difference between a human resources manager and a recruiter!"

🎙 What were the first steps in your career?

"First, I took a class on recruitment. This showed me that I was actually interested. I was eager to put my new skills into practice, and less than two months after graduation, I managed to find a job as a recruiter."

🎙 What qualities are crucial for a successful recruiter?

1. "Independence. We work in a team of 50+ people, and although we have meetings and support each other, it is important for us to try to figure out issues ourselves before asking for help. We have end-to-end recruiting, so a recruiter at Exadel must be able to independently guide a candidate through the entire process.
2. Adaptability and openness. Exadel is a large company with complex processes; positions are changing all the time, as are projects and requirements.
3. Dedication and proactivity. We look for people who are passionate about their work and dedicated to their team’s success."

A recruiter can’t succeed without:

- A knowledge of English. This is super important! We are considering candidates with a B1 (intermediate) level, but higher is better.
- A basic understanding of recruiting. We appreciate it when a candidate understands technologies, positions, locations, and each stage of the recruiting process. A knowledge of recruiting tools is also indispensable.
- A passion for continuing education. You’ll need to be ready to keep learning, even after you’re done with university.

#Exadel_Life

Exadel hires about 30% of its employees through events run by our Education Department. This is a stunning result and is beneficial to both the candidates and the company 🌟

Exadel’s educational programs include both trainings and sandboxes. But how do they differ, and which should you choose? Let’s find it out 👇

🔎 A sandbox is a practice-oriented course

▫️ We don't give lectures or theoretical materials, except for some recommendations from our mentors. For two months, our interns develop a project/application under the guidance of mentors who stay in touch 24/7 to advise, support, and direct.
▫️ We divide the students into teams with back-end and front-end developers and BA students in each.
Sometimes we add DevOps engineers.
▫️ Mentors help divide the work into parts and explain the way it should be done. On a practical level, the students learn what the project life cycle is, where to start, how to properly distribute, prioritize and delegate tasks to each other, how to communicate between the back-end and front-end, and how to collaborate. In addition to purely technical skills, interns get the whole picture of a commercial project workflow and boost their soft skills.

💡We offer students the most up-to-date technical stack to help them learn.

At the end of the training, the teams make demos of the application for an expert jury. Preparing and performing this type of presentation is a perfect opportunity to improve your public speaking skills.

🔎 A training is a theoretical course

▫️ Our experts give lectures, and the trainees get assignments on each topic. The assignments are checked by lecturers and their assistants. Generally, trainings are intended for future QAs.
▫️ This year, for the first time, we held trainings for Python, Java, and .NET developers, where the trainees were able to systematize and deepen their knowledge. Students who successfully master the training program can continue their studies in the sandbox.

Stay tuned so you don’t miss our next enrollment! 🚀

#Exadel_Education

At Exadel, our core values include Work, Learn, and Teach 📚🤓

Collaboration and the exchange of ideas are always welcomed, especially between skilled professionals and newbies. Our developers are particularly good at sharing their expertise and life hacks because they have a wonderful sense of humor. They know how to explain complex concepts in a simple manner 🙌

When quarantine deprived them of the opportunity to hold tech talks in the office kitchen, they felt the need to come up with other ways to share ideas. As a result, Exadel JS Community launched a private Telegram channel in November 2020. Eventually, it turned into a public channel to ensure everyone could access our insights and expertise.

Our developers regularly share:
✔ JavaScript-related news, tutorials, and articles about web development
✔ also quizzes and polls to highlight important topics and encourage discussion among the participants

👉 Check out the Telegram channel and indulge yourself in JS heaven
