- Sup, y'all! Here's to the first VLOG of the year for a day in the life of a technical recruiter. I'm looking to make more videos throughout the year (hopefully weekly/biweekly) talking about how to navigate through the tech industry, how to get into recruitment, how to negotiate your salary, or some of my general productivity tips!
Hopefully y'all enjoy!

Starting up as Tech Recruiter on Monday. Glad I landed on this video. Coming from 4 years in healthcare recruitment and a short stint in retail recruitment.
yo, congrats man. thats a huge jump. i havent been in healthcare recruitment, but when i made the jump from manufacturing/logistics recruitment, it was a pretty steep learning curve and im still learning a lot til this day. best of luck man and enjoy the ride!
How are you doing?
How is it going? I currently work in retail but I’m interviewing for a technical recruiting job in health car. Im worried it’s going to be a lot of cold calls and feel like a phone center.
Man I appreciate this video - got an interview for a recruitment coordinator role coming up and learning more about the day to day is really interesting to me. I appreciate how intentional you are and hearing your reasoning behind what you do (can also relate to the skin stuff big time). Keep it up man
Such a good idea! When I got into the industry myself (5 years here too) I looked for videos like these. Stay well & stay resilient!
Truly enjoyed watching & can’t wait for more content. About to binge watch the rest of your videos lol
I know what you mean about sourcing, and my calendar looks similar…keep creating content man! Great stuff!
Great video fam. Your energy is dynamic my G!
Awesome video, keep it up :), I feel like there aren't enough videos about tech recruiters on youtube
This is something i could relate to as I was searching a video of a technical recruiter and I coudn't find any. So glad you shared one.
thank you shreya! is there anything within tech recruiting you'd want more insight from specifically?
Excited for the next videos on the horizon, love the drawer of beanies. You inspired my small collection. Haha.
dude, beanies are essential in the winter lol
Loved this! Also, my entire family uses the term "linner" haha made me lol. Wishing you all the success!
This is dope bro, keep making these.
I loved this, here I am stressing about my job and there’s absolutely no need!
Great video! I loved the daily vlog! Keep them coming!!
definitely will! thanks candice!
This is a great video! Love it! I’m not in the field, but I’m looking for a career change and this has caught my eye a bit. I’m wondering though if it’s possible for you to make a short video on the bad side of it and ways you would get around those? Could be good for us to see both the good and the bad considering how great this video was 😄 either way, thanks for the insight! That deli looked really good too 🤤
Thanks for this video! I'm 11 months late but perfect timing for me. I work in tech field currently but looking to get into technical recruiting as I love helping/Interacting with people.
Great video, Dwayne!
Man when I see your video I get vibes like the old Casey Neistat vlogs. Awesome. I get cravings to move to NY and feel the hustle mode.. I’m also a Recruiter.. keep doing this work
Good stuff ! We are more and more creating content and it gives a better understanding of the job. Keep going mate !
thank you ivan! is there anything within recruiting you'd want more insight from specifically?

Keep it up bro!
Thank you!
More of this please! :)
Good stuff!
Cheers bud
Keep it up we recruiters need more content
thanks josh!
@@dwaynenonales Dwayne do you prefer fully remote or hybrid im only 1-1/2 years in and I was considering a fully remote position I switched agencies because the base was higher and growth potential hoping it’ll pay off
Fellow technical recruiter here. I specifically work with engineers in manufacturing, construction, and energy sectors, but the key to being a successful recruiter is being a career advisor more than a salesperson.
Finding the right position for your candidates is key to successful placements. Finding key pain points, recognizing career trajectories will save you from spending 15-20 hours with a candidate to find that he rather stick to his current job or accept an offer elsewhere.
Sure, you can never avoid losing in the field of technical recruiting, but you can consistently perform well if you keep that in mind.
Man, neat way to do it. My life is completely opposite. Meeting every morning in office at 8AM, then off to my office. I am in IT recruiting and I probably make about 40-60 calls a day and lock about 2-3 (10-16 per week) people up for interviews. Only way I found that worked to grow 20k in spread in my first 3Mo. I am about a year and a half in and at 60k. Only get 12% but it’s not a bad living, I think.
This is awesome!!
Can you do a video on tech recruitment interview questions ?
I'm also a Senior technical recruiter and my office is located in Dallas
Going to coding boot in May to finish learning full stack. What's the best way to get noticed by recruiters when you don't have any experience in tech
I'd try to find a smaller startup that just needs people! Larger FAANG type companies have a much larger barrier to entry. I would try to highlight any major projects you've undertaken along w/ messaging recruiters directly on linkedin!
Thanks , really helpful video. I am CZcams creator and technical recruiter
Are you in Bushwick? I live out there and it looks similar lol
My literal dream job...omg
the barrier to entry isn't that tough, ridha! should i make a vid on how to break into the recruitment industry?
@@dwaynenonales yes please . I want to break in as well
What courses did you take to become a recruiter
I have a background in retail and insurance operations. Do you have a company you recommend to start out as a tech recruiter? I really want to get into that industry. Really want something more lucrative!
Literally depends on the state, but I would say look for a smaller, tight knit company owned by someone with lots of connections in the industry.
You could be a good recruiter, but that means little when your company lacks good, substantial companies to recruit for.
That being said, I work in a company of three recruiters, one office manager, one account manager, and one recruiting manager. But each recruiter brings in about $300-400k of revenue each year and we all hit six figures in income already this year… and the year hasn’t even ended yet.
That being said, some companies offer base salary (mine is 40k) in addition to commission. Lots of large recruiting agencies have pretty shitty commission rate (7% -13% with accrual) Mine starts at (10% but gradually goes up to 20% once I hit my yearly goal of $250k). There has been times where I would get a $12000 pay check with some of the absurdly large commission checks I get.
But at the end of the day, it comes down to you! This is a brutal line of work that requires you to make 50 calls a day, 10 or more submissions to clients each week. I work from 7am to 4:30 every day with an hour lunch break but I have reflected on too many days where it’s 6:30 and I’m still working on my computer. You have to talk to many people, build rapport, expand your professional connections, and know exactly what your clients and candidates want and need. You have to be highly organized and professional if you want to succeed. I have three large white boards, stacks of post-it notes, two monitors, and numerous resources I utilize.
Job sounds easy af
Buddy we’re here to see what it’s like as a recruiter not for ur morning routine
I hear a lot of music and SOME of your talking points. Good video in general but please make sure to keep the music lower and your voice higher
thanks for the video! could you use lower music next time? and, please, don't run with camera :)
How do you get enough sleep by waking up at 6 am Lol
Keep reduce the background sound
damn you have straight up 5 hours for selft care a day? preach XD
hahaha how can you care about others if you dont care for yourself first 😂
Do you really thinks that candidates have different motivations rather than money for working at social media company?
Doesn't seem like a real job
Wtf 😂
