Technology Training

Technology Training for Recruiters equips staffing professionals with the technical knowledge they need to confidently source, screen, and qualify candidates for IT roles. This training breaks down complex concepts—such as SDLC, ITIL, tech stacks, tools, and common IT functions—into clear, recruiter-friendly explanations. By understanding how technology teams operate and what skills are required at each stage, recruiters can ask smarter questions, identify the right talent faster, and reduce mismatches. Ultimately, this training strengthens recruiter competency and enhances the quality of hires delivered to clients.

Software Development
Life Cycle

The software development life cycle is the process of creating or altering information systems, and the models and methodologies that people use to develop these systems.

5 SDLC Phases

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a structured process that guides how software is planned, built, tested, and delivered. It breaks the work into clear phases—Analysis, Design, Implementation, Testing, and Evaluation—to ensure teams understand requirements, create the right architecture, build efficiently, and validate quality. By following these phases, organizations reduce risks, improve collaboration, and deliver reliable, user-centered software.

1. Analysis

This is where the business problem is understood and requirements are gathered from stakeholders. The team identifies what the system should do, what users need, and what constraints exist.

Job Titles:

  • Business Analyst (BA)

  • Product Owner

  • Project Manager

  • Systems Analyst

  • Solutions Architect

Robot Engineer

2. Design

The team creates the system blueprint, including architecture, UI/UX, database structure, integrations, and technical specifications. It outlines how the solution will work before development begins.

Job Titles:

  • Solutions Architect

  • UI/UX Designer

  • Technical Architect

  • Database Designer/DBA

  • Systems Designer

3. Implementation

This is the development phase where coding, integration, configuration, and feature creation occur. Engineers build the actual system based on the approved design.

Job Titles:

  • Software Developer (Java, .NET, Python, etc.)

  • Frontend Developer

  • Backend Developer

  • Full Stack Developer

  • DevOps Engineer

4. Testing

The system is validated to ensure it works correctly, meets requirements, and is free from defects. Testing may include functional, automation, performance, security, and user acceptance testing.

Job Titles:

  • QA Tester

  • QA Automation Engineer / SDET

  • Performance Tester

  • UAT Tester

  • Test Lead / QA Lead

5. Evaluation

The system is reviewed post-launch to ensure it performs well in production, meets user expectations, and remains stable. This includes monitoring, bug fixes, improvements, updates, and ongoing support.

Job Titles:

  • Production Support Engineer (L2/L3)

  • IT Support Specialist

  • Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

  • NOC Engineer

  • Maintenance/Release Manager

How to use SDLC in Job Qualification

To qualify any IT job effectively, recruiters should ask questions that identify where the role fits within the SDLC, what outcomes the team expects, and what tools or methodologies the project uses. These questions help clarify expectations, surface hidden requirements, and ensure the recruiter presents the right candidates from the start.

​

Below are the core questions every recruiter should ask during job qualification, along with why they matter:

1. “Which phase of the SDLC will this role focus on?”

This question helps you pinpoint whether the job is centered on requirements (Analysis), architecture (Design), coding (Implementation), quality (Testing), or support and improvements (Evaluation). Knowing the primary phase allows you to target candidates with the correct experience and prevents confusion when roles have overlapping responsibilities.

2. “Is this mostly new development or maintenance?”

New development roles focus on building new systems or features, which usually requires strong coding, architecture, and innovation skills. Maintenance roles focus on bug fixes, enhancements, optimization, and production support. Asking this question helps you distinguish between builders (developers, architects) and fixers/support roles (support engineers, DevOps, maintenance teams).

3. “Is the environment Agile, Waterfall, or Hybrid?”

The delivery methodology directly impacts how teams work and what tools or processes they use.

  • Agile roles emphasize sprints, stand-ups, story grooming, and collaboration.

  • Waterfall roles require documentation-heavy, structured, phase-by-phase execution.

  • Hybrid environments blend aspects of both.

Knowing the methodology helps you find candidates who can easily integrate into the team's workflow.

4. “Which tools or tech stacks are required at each phase?”

Different SDLC phases rely on different tools:

  • Analysis: Jira, Confluence, Visio

  • Design: Figma, Lucidchart, UML tools

  • Implementation: Programming languages, frameworks, Git, CI/CD

  • Testing: Selenium, Postman, JMeter, TestRail

  • Evaluation: ServiceNow, Dynatrace, Splunk, monitoring tools
