Product Description

Review
The most significant book to hit the world if IT recruitment in modern times, written by the most influential trainer in this area today. This will undoubtedly become the definitive IT recruiter's bible and an essential instruction manual for all who are thinking of progressing within the field of IT recruitment. --Simone Gregory, Personnel And Training Manager Hays Information Technology

This has been eagerly anticipated. An overview of the IT industry, it s main concepts and roles in the clearest most enjoyable way possible. Drawing on his personal experiences as an IT recruitment consultant, and his formidable knowledge as an acclaimed trainer within the IT recruitment industry, Ayub is the one person who is perfectly qualified to compile this invaluable handbook for those who need to quickly become credible when dealing with people from the IT industry. --Mike Garlick, CEO, MBA plc

I am happy to say I have used Ayub and Holistica for Glotel's core IT and Telecoms technical training needs for a number of years. All of our recruiters have benefited hugely from the professional and tailored training programmes delivered by Ayub, coupled with an ever-present enthusiasm that I find to be unrivalled in the industry. I am confident to say that all IT recruiters will benefit from this book regardless of experience levels and it should always feature as an integral part of an introduction to successful Recruiting in this industry. --Jason Power Director of Delivery, EMEA, Glotel plc.

Product Description
Are you in a position where you need to confidently interact with IT people and better understand today's corporate IT landscape? Well, here is your survival guide! This is the first book written specifically to meet the needs of IT recruitment consultants, HR professionals and business executives. Written in plain English, it will serve as an invaluable tool for all those in search of clarification of all the 'dark arts' at work in the IT department. The Complete IT Recruitment Survival Guide will calmly steer you through the entire maze of key IT concepts in plain English. It will guide you through the jungle of terminology and acronyms with humour, stories and anecdotes, so that the 'techies' you speak with will assume you've been in the industry for years. The title is slightly misleading. Not just for those in IT recruitment, this is an invaluable easy-to-read handbook for all business executives and managers who simply wish to sound credible and comfortable when it comes to discussing all areas of IT strategy with members of the IT industry. Punctuated by cartoons and bits of trivia, you'll find yourself reading this in bed, and even relaying some of the stories over dinner parties.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not sure it's worth the money...., 2 Jan 2009
By D Gallacher "cheesebongle" (Heathrow Airport) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book does cover large areas of the IT industry and gives a good background to much of it, particularly the older technologies - but there are a number of areas covered too thinly to be of any great use - or not at all (e.g. PERL, Ruby - I could add more). There are also a lot of typos and some inaccuracies.

Not a bad book - but I am not convinced it is worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent insight into IT Recruitment, 1 Mar 2009
I work for an IT Recruitment Agency as an administrator for a team of Resourcers & Consultants however after reading this book it has given me a taste for trying my hand at IT recruitment!! I particularly enjoyed reading in depth about the different IT roles and how each role contributes to the Waterfall model as it has increased my confidence when talking to my Contractors in regards to their roles & the projects that they are working on. After reading the book,I also have a better understanding of the vacancies that my team are working, where as before I did not have a clue for example what a Technical Architect with experience of Tuxedo was! I would highly recommend this book to people that are looking to get into IT recruitment and even people that are already within the industry as this book contains everything you need to know!
Rebecca Swales, Lorien Resourcing

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic read, the book is full of great and valuable information, 3 Mar 2009
An absolute masterpiece. I have been in recruitment for only a short period and found that this book has been a great reference for improving my career and learning about new technologies.

The author really makes the reader fall in love with IT in such a positive way. The book is full of information relating to IT technologies from birth right through to its evolution to date. I would recommend this book to everyone who is involved in IT from recruitment to hands on and management levels. Also recommend the Holistica training course for an interactive insight into the areas in the book. A+++, 10/10
