Bob Howard, Recruitment Director of CTRL Recruitment (the only specialist ICT recruitment firm on the island), has kindly agreed to talk to BCS Isle of Man about:
* What attributes recruiters and employers are looking for in leading candidates
* What skills are in demand / decline

And other topics relevant to the recruitment of ICT professionals.

Students hoping to enter the profession will leave with a clearer vision of what they must do to deliver a relevant education and skillset that helps them to secure their crucial first employment in the ICT industry.
