Recruiters: How to articulate that I am capable of Sourcing for Technical roles coming from a healthcare background (3yrs)? Sourcing is a transferable skill. It takes passion, curiosity, and the ability to research to hunt for the right person for the role. I believe it can be done in any industry. However, it seems like companies would take a novice over someone with a different industry experience (after viewing several LI profiles) and I don't want to be boxed into my current industry.

1) There’s a free tech recruiter certification called devskiller multiple choice questions and pdf to prepare from.

2) Do you have an interest in a certain part of technical recruiting? Software engineering? Data & Analytics? Hardware engineering? It’s such a huge field try and focus on on one part of it become a master of a niche.

3) Attend webinars / hang out in online communities for tech recruiters. Recruitingbrainfood is a great online community

I made the switch from Financial to Tech recently. Speak to the niche and hard to fill skills you were successful with, any position that requires any technical skills, and upskill!
Take the tech recruiter courses, research the types of role the company is hiring at that time so you can reference, and start building your tech network.

How would you approach asking the recruiter if there are any SWE openings I could be considered for instead ?

Hi. I’m relatively new to recruiting and my role is primarily in supporting recruiters. I’ve noticed that even when I include a specific request or call to action, that my emails receive a response less than 50% of the time. Is this lack of responsiveness indicative of company culture or more about the culture of recruiting, since they receive so many emails? Thoughts? I’ve not experienced this rate of responsiveness in any organization I’ve worked for. I am beginning to take it personally.
