Hi Suresh,
IT recruitments is a vast field. I shall try to list down the basics which I think should give you a headstart:
1- A basic understanding of the IT domain, e.g., process flows from getting a requirement to designing a software package, the components that go into it. To simplify - If you were asked to recruit a SAP consultant, you would need to know first if you had to recruit a Technical or a Functional consultant.
2- Technical Jargons - understand what the software lingo is all about - programming, development, support maintenance, front-end technologies, backend technologies, etc. To start with, any recruitment person with a non-tech background needs to at least understand the basic flow of the technological process.
3- At least attempt to get familiar with most of the technologies in the market - e.g., Microsoft, Embedded, Mobile Apps, ERP, etc. (depending on the kind of IT vertical you would like to handle).
4- Hierarchical structures, i.e., an IT designation and job profiling are different from a non-IT setup. Hypothetical example - An AM-HR in a manufacturing company would be a very senior experienced person with at least 10 years of minimum experience; on the contrary, in the IT world, it could be a person with 3-4 years of experience.
5- With a little hands-on experience, a recruitment person will be able to understand the market, the business cycles, the salary parity, etc.
6- Ability to communicate (verbal/non-verbal) effectively is a must for a good recruitment professional.
In addition to the above, a lot of soft skills are equally important as this profession deals with getting the right man for the right job.

Hey Deepthi,
Both recruitment and marketing are equally challenging. For marketing, you need to contact to place your consultants, which you will get from recruitment. You will have a better hold if you work on recruitment and then move to sales.

Hi Suresh,
In IT recruitment companies, firstly you will be starting as a fresher even if you have 3 years of experience. If you are strong technically, it should not be difficult to join companies like Artech or FCS. These are large companies that hire freshers and provide training on technologies and roles as needed.
You also need to decide whether you want to focus on domestic or US recruitments. If you are considering the monetary aspect, US recruitments would be the best choice. Deserving candidates can earn as much as 50k to 1.5 lac per month, depending on their experience and skills.
If you would like to learn more about recruitments, please feel free to email me.

Hi Manu,
Thank you for your response. Could you please explain the difference between Marketing and Sales? I currently believe I am working in Sales. If there is a distinction between Marketing and Sales, how can I transition into Sales? Please provide me with some guidance on this matter.
Looking forward to your reply.
