Amotec recruiters focus on finding the top talent for our clients, but what does that look like. In this mini blog series Recruiting 101, we will breakdown different aspects of a recruiter’s job. In this first part, we wanted to share some of the most common terms used by recruiters for internal and external use, here at Amotec.
Assignment
– The position or job that is available
Applicant
– The individual being contacted or considered for a potential position or being placed on an assignment.
Candidate
– A person that has been through the application process and is available for an assignment.
Client

Cold Calls
– Recruiters may call potential candidates who are not in our internal database who may be looking for a job by using external resources to find available candidates.
Interview
– The process of reviewing a person’s skill set and determining where their tangible and intangible skills will make them a successful fit. This process could take place over the phone or in person.
