Abstract
Software is mostly a “people” business: the single and most important asset of a software company is its developers. Finding an appropriate software developer is a problem that has created the whole area (and business) of IT recruiting, which is mostly an “art” involving a set of practical techniques and approaches. This paper discusses the typical practices of IT recruiting in Russia. Our aim is to describe its baseline from the point of view of its practitioners and to study ways to improve it. To achieve this aim we conducted a survey among more than 70 professional recruiters, we analysed the results, and we have identi- fied mechanisms to improve it, also partially automating it. The results of our research appear to be applicable and beneficial for professionals and researchers living in several other parts of the world, given the evident similarity of the market structure.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
