As layoffs continue and hiring freezes ensue, many recruiters are considering becoming the very talent for which they recruit: software developers, data scientists, or DevOps engineers. While the transferable skills of communication and collaboration are strong for recruiters, the technical skills are often the skills that they’re missing. But, recruiters know this, and they have the benefit of knowing what the desired skills are in great engineer candidates. They also see the other side of the coin and who doesn't receive offers - and thus which skills candidates might be lacking. Training to the desired skill sets of hiring managers and for technical positions in industry is so crucial to fill an opportunity, close any skills gap, and get hired right away.
