This technical skills primer focuses on technology fundamentals—from basic programming terms to big data vocabulary, network lingo, operating system jargon, and other crucial skill sets.

Armed with indispensable information, the alphabet soup of technology acronyms will no longer be intimidating, and you will be able to analyze client and candidate requirements with confidence. Written in clear and concise prose, Technology Made Simple for the Technical Recruiter is an invaluable resource for any technical recruiter. Review: Every technical recruiter should read this book!!! - The information is structured well and while definitely a medium difficulty read for those who are not technical, the author does a good job of fully explaining the concepts behind the technology. The book, while written with the recruiter in mind, is very beneficial for the salesperson as it references hiring manager engagement throughout. One of the aspects I find most beneficial is that after the author explains a technology and associated technical roles she provides some really pertinent sample questions to ask candidates and goes on to explain why those questions are so important. In addition to covering various technologies, the author breaks down job orders, resumes and the various jobs associated with each technology Review: Very good book for new IT Technical Recruiters - This is a well laid out book for new IT Technical Recruiters. I have worked in the IT Technical Recruiting industry for 25+ years and was looking for a book that is a common sense introduction to IT technologies and platforms, common IT job roles, how to read and break down a job req, how to develop a proper detailed resume to mirror a job req, etc. This book appears to do so a good job of covering all of these topics and a few more. The only thing it doesn't cover is detailed recommendations on how to source candidates using Boolean searches, LinkedIn, social media, etc.

A God-send for new Tech Recruiters
This book was exactly what I needed - I only wish I could have found it sooner. The example resumes, questions and laymen’s terms on complex technical systems has completely changed my career. This will be something we gift all future tech recruiters in our company.

Definitely not a simple book!
Simple is the last word that I would use to describe this book. Still fairly complicated for a newbie to IT. I do see it being very useful and I will use it for reference in my new IT Recruiter role

Educational
The information is structured well. The read is quite dry and to the point, but makes perfect sense for the subject matter.
