Technical recruiting is the process of identifying, screening, and hiring candidates with the necessary skills and experience to fill technical roles within an organization. General talent recruiting, on the other hand, is the process of identify, screening, and hiring candidates for any role within an organization, regardless of whether or not it is a technical role.

There are a few key ways in which technical recruiting differs from general talent recruiting. First, technical recruiters generally have a more specific understanding of the skills and experience that are required for technical roles. This allows them to more effectively identify and screen candidates for these roles. Secondly, technical recruiters often work closely with hiring managers to ensure that they are identifying and hiring candidates who are a good fit for the specific technical role that needs to be filled. This is also because a technical role is often less standardized in terms of what exactly the future employee is going to do. Responsibilities and tasks differ significantly between seemingly similar technical roles depending on the technology stack of the company.

Overall, the main difference between technical recruiting and general talent recruiting is the level of specificity and expertise that is required. Technical recruiters need to have a deep understanding of the skills and experience that are required for technical roles, and they need to be able to effectively identify and screen candidates for these roles. General talent recruiters, on the other hand, can be less specialized in their knowledge and still be successful in identify and hiring candidates for any role within an organization.
