1
There are 15 IT terms that everyone in tech recruitment should know about.
2
So in this video I'll walk you through all of them one by one.
3
Alright?
4
So let's start with the first one in no particular order.
5
So the first IT term is cross -platform.
6
So some of you may use Android, some of you may use Android smartphone.
7
So when developers create mobile applications for both cross -platform.
8
So, they create applications that run on both Android and iOS at the same time.
9
Another example of cross -platform application is for example between Windows and Mac Right?
10
So there is Windows and Macintosh, Mac OS.
11
So if a developer creates a mobile application that can run on both Windows and Mac, it's called cross -platform.
12
So it runs on both.
13
And obviously they use some programming languages and frameworks that enable this.
14
I'll not go through this in this video because it's a separate video that I have recorded.
15
You may find it on YouTube on my tech recruitment channel.
16
So just look for cross -platform.
17
THE END OF THE END OF THE a keyword on my channel.
18
The second term you should be well aware of is full stack.
19
So some developers, web developers focus on back -end, some of them on front -end,
20
which are the two keywords that follow and full stack is the combination of both together.
21
So, backend plus frontend equals full stack.
22
So, the backend is what we as users cannot see.
23
It's hidden somewhere on the server.
24
So, the server is somewhere in a data center in the cloud.
25
So, that's what runs on the back -end side.
26
It usually includes some business logic.
27
And front -end developers usually create what we as users can see.
28
So if you go to your favorite website, whether it is some e -commerce store or your newspaper online, you would see something visually.
29
So that's front -end of the So that's the back -end, right?
30
So front -end what we as users can see, back -end is what we as users cannot see but developers create
31
and full -stack is referring to both back -end and front -end together.
32
Again, I have dedicated videos that go to details what programming languages, what framework can be used,
33
what IT roles are there to create backhand and fronthand.
34
So just look for these videos on my YouTube channel again.
35
Java is a programming language, it's a very popular one and it's been here for I know 20 -30 years roughly, so it's very popular.
36
It's commonly used on the backend side.
37
Developers use Java to create mobile applications on Android, so it has a wide range of applications.
38
Also when it comes to big data processing and Internet of Things.
39
So Java is here to stay.
40
aware of Java.
41
And Spring is a framework that Java developers often use.
42
So Spring it's not a part of the year, it's not summer, it's not autumn, it's not winter.
43
Spring is something different when it comes to IT, when it comes to tech recruitment.
44
It's one of the frameworks developers use to create backend services.
45
hiring manager says they are looking for a Java Spring developer.
46
You know they are not looking for a mobile app developer, no no no, they are looking for a back -end developer.
47
JavaScript is another very popular programming language.
48
JavaScript is used by lots of lots of developers these days.
49
It's actually the most popular language out there
50
because it could be used both on the front -end side as well as the back -end side.
51
So back -end developers use it, front -end developers use it, full -stack developers use JavaScript,
52
mobile app developers use JavaScript to create cross -platform applications.
53
So JavaScript is here to stay.
54
And React, for example, is one of the frameworks that JavaScript developers use.
55
So you should be well aware of React.
56
I have recorded a dedicated
57
videos that show how to source for a React full stack developer
58
or back -end react.. not back -end react but front -end react developer.
59
So just look for some other videos in my YouTube channel that is all about tech recruitment on fire.
60
Angular is another framework also related to JavaScript because in fact it's written in TypeScript but it's like extension of JavaScript.
61
So you know, I'm TypeScript is a more strict version of JavaScript.
62
So you know what, like I could probably include it as the key term to know, number 16.
63
So take it as a little bonus, which is TypeScript.
64
TypeScript.
65
So just remember 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3.
66
So just remember Angular as one of the frameworks that front -end developers use.
67
Native is the alternative to cross -platform app development.
68
So the applications could be native to the Android platform or native to iOS platform.
69
So there are developers who only create applications for one of these platforms either iOS or Android or Windows or Mac.
70
So they create native not cross
71
DevOps is really confusing because DevOps is not a single methodology.
72
It's sort of like everything and nothing at the same time.
73
It's a culture, it's a mix of tools and best practices
74
and that's why it's probably so confusing to a lot of developers.
75
why DevOps is so popular these days, why so many developers transition from the traditional way of software development to DevOps.
76
So there is more and more need for DevOps engineers
77
so you may actually quite also focus on these developers and you will be doing really well.
78
as a tech recruiter.
79
QA stands for quality assurance.
80
It's another way of ensuring, I mean, testing is a way to test applications, whether web or mobile.
81
And QA is another way of ensuring the quality of an application.
82
So quality assurance.
83
So there is a range of IT positions, for example, quality assurance manager or a QA automation engineer.
84
Swift is a programming language used to create native applications on the Apple platform on the Apple ecosystem.
85
So think of iPhones, think of desktop applications on Mac.
86
So that's what Swift as the programming language is for.
87
Python is another programming language used for web development historically,
88
but recently it's been increasingly more popular to build some data science models and analyze data.
89
It's also used for scripting so
90
when you are looking for a Python developer make sure you
91
know what this Python developer will actually do at work because he can do web development or data science and very different.
92
So one person will not be a fit for both of these tasks.
93
Cybersecurity
94
As the key IT term number 15 is increasingly more popular these days
95
because of all the hacking that is happening around the world.
96
Companies need to increase the security of their applications so they need cyber security engineers,
97
cyber security analysts.
98
And just recently I've been delivering training dedicated to recruiting for cybersecurity roles.
99
So I guess somewhere on my YouTube channel you will find a snippet of the video.
100
So look for cybersecurity and you will see a little more about cybersecurity analysts,
101
cybersecurity engineers, chief information security officers and related IT roles.
102
But for now, just remember cybersecurity ensuring the security of the computers or software in general.
103
as a bonus you've seen already TypeScript which is the more strict version of JavaScript as a programming language.
104
So TypeScript is a programming language, JavaScript is a programming language, Java is a programming language, Swift is a programming language,
105
Python is a programming language and React is a framework,
106
Angular is a framework, And that's probably...
107
Oh no, Spring is also a framework.
108
So there are three frameworks in this mix, four or five languages.
109
So you can see at the end of the day IT is not any rocket science.
110
As a tech recruiter you definitely do not need to be able to code.
111
You know some people see it as an advantage but with developers you anyway will not talk about Python coding.
112
Especially if one day you - Thank you.
113
The other day you are recruiting for Java, 4 -stack developers, the other day JavaScript, right?
114
So, if you learn one language anyway, you can only talk to a small, very, very small segment of IT professionals.
115
So, rather, instead of going too deep in one language, learn about the whole IT ecosystem.
116
What are the programming languages, frameworks, tools, how DevOps works.
117
security or blockchain.
118
These emerging roles related to machine learning or AI are in demand.
119
So why not to close some candidates in this category, right?
120
So these are the IT terms.
121
There are many, many more.
122
Obviously a lot of the terminology that you can see in JDS and for that I have actually prepared these mind maps.
123
So this is a booklet with about 28 mind maps that cover the SMBs.
124
IT terminology.
125
So you can see here some of the terms related to different landscapes
126
or software development landscape or zoom in to Java
127
or zoom in to JavaScript like in this case you can see zoom in to the Java landscape what are the frameworks,
128
what are the testing frameworks etc. So this is super helpful
129
I have created these mind maps also for myself because after 15 or 16 years in IT, I don't really remember the whole IT terminology myself.
130
So then I have started teaching this to other recruiters around the world.
131
So if you would like to join the Tech Recruitment Program that I organize every six weeks roughly,
132
then go to techrecruitmentprogram .com and join the next group of 20 recruiters.
133
We will learn how to analyze JD's that include some of these keywords and many more.
134
We will also look at how to screen candidates that have some of these keywords on their resumes,
135
you will see there are about 70 different roles.
136
So I'll step out so it can zoom in to this mind map.
137
So there are software developers, back -end, front -end, IT executives, some managers, data and BI roles,
138
testing and QA, cybersecurity, cloud.
139
So a lot of different IT positions of the operations.
140
we cover during the tech recruitment program.
141
So if you'd like to join this group
142
and become proficient in tech recruitment then this may be the right fit for you.
143
So don't study Python coding, you don't need it as a tech recruiter but instead learn about the IT landscape, what questions to ask candidates,
144
what questions to ask hiring managers, how to match candidates with the right job
145
that's what helps you earn more commissions and get more bonuses so join the
146
nice group of the 20 international tech recruiters and become proficient in tech recruitment.
147
Just go to techrecruitmentprogram .com and get your ticket, whether standard or VIP with a certificate,
148
and we will see each other in the next group with 20.
149
recruiters.
150
So join at techrecruitmentprogram .com and i'll see you there

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
