One of the most important parts of the modern office is the computer network. Connecting every desk throughout a particular office, a network is vital to intra-office communication and easy file sharing. In architecture and design firms, engineers, designers, and project managers alike can speak to one another using instant messaging technology while using virtual meeting software so that they can stay at their desks. Banks, sales departments, and telecommunication companies alike use networking to communicate and coordinate with other departments within the same company. IT managers and executives alike need to develop efficient networks and the only way to ensure a fully functioning network is to hire quality IT professionals.

Network engineers and help desk workers, among other IT professionals, help set up and maintain efficient networks for businesses of all sizes. These professionals are trained to be able to handle a variety of networking problems, including broken connections and network slow downs. As well, network professionals can communicate with non-IT professionals in order to determine individual computer problems while avoiding the complex language of IT professionals.

Recruiting firms throughout the UK and Europe are seeking graduates for positions with IT departments and consultancies around the world. Agencies and corporations have a symbiotic relationship because agencies rely on their relationships for success in their field while corporations need a constant stream of talented professionals to maintain strength in their industry. The typical process for a networking applicant to be placed into a career in networking includes a review of an application, interviews, assessments, training sessions, and placement with ongoing professional development. The application process is critical for networking professionals, as they need to prove their competency in a variety of software platforms and computer hardware.

Recruiters review hundreds and thousands of applications for networking positions and call back the dozen or so applicants who look like they will fit best for a particular position. These initial contacts can come in the form of a phone call or e-mail message, which might ask for the answers to a few preliminary questions. From there, in-person interviews are typically one-on-one sessions where applicants are asked how they would deal with a variety of scenarios in the workplace. As well, psychometric testing and personality testing can help recruiters find the right fit between an employer and employee. Networkers and IT professionals who want to find the right job need to consult with a recruiting agency that will work hard on their behalf.
