I got into IT Recruiting in the mid-'90s and did my first technical interview in late '97, triggering a journey that has inspired the ambition to create an entire generation of IT Recruiters who can independently screen candidates using their own internal pool of knowledge.

   I left agency recruiting in 2005 to consult to software companies, becoming trusted as the first-round technical screen at companies such as The MathWorks, Pegasystems and Akamai Technologies. This is where I really elevated my ability to screen developers down to the syntax level.

   I started TechScreen in 2016 to level the playing field for IT Recruiters by releasing the world's SaaS platform that empowers recruiters to conduct a detailed technical interview.

   The TechScreen Certified Recruiter training program was deployed in 2021 that gives us Just-in-Time Knowledge, the ability for recruiters to leverage the content to execute their jobs in real-time. It is the world's largest technical content resource that was curated specifically for non-technical people.

   This content is going to give recruiters simplified technical knowledge that can be used to generate focused qualification question. The consistent use of this content will cultivate something I call 'Conversational Competence', the reflexive ability to draw upon detailed technical information from a pool of information the recruiter 'owns'.
