Some might say we’re obsessed. We love to see the look on people’s faces as they start to grasp the whole world of IT technology, IT roles and IT recruitment as the knowledge flows in our training courses.
We’ve been delivering world class training to demystify IT and Telecoms terminology since 1999. The core attendees of our training events are IT recruitment consultants, HR professionals and those from the operational side of any business needing a clearer understanding of what IT people are really talking about. Whatever your background, it really doesn’t matter.
Everyday we see people who have come into a role where they need to better understand the world of IT, daunted by their new role and knowing next to nothing about technology. But we see those same people walk away with a new passion, energy and confidence about their role now believing that they are going to make a difference in everything they do from here on in. If you are required to speak with IT candidates or absorb IT CVs and job specs for a living, our training will be your springboard to success.
We know, from the feedback from our delegates, that just one day can change everything. Knowledge induces confidence. Confidence emanates credibility. And from there it’s a short journey to being someone who can really speak with keen interest and even passion on matters relating to IT.
That’s what Holistica is all about.

We’ve been delivering world class training to demystify IT and Telecoms terminology since 1999. The core attendees of our training events are IT recruitment consultants, HR professionals and those from the operational side of any business needing a clearer understanding of what IT people are really talking about.
Whatever your background, it really doesn’t matter. We’ve trained complete novices who would enter the industry as resourcers. And we’ve trained up the HR divisions of Fujitsu, IBM and ING; people who would soon be expected to mix it with some of the most accomplished people in IT.
Everyday we see people who have come into a role where they need to better understand the world of IT, daunted by their new role and knowing next to nothing about technology. But we see those same people walk away with a new passion, energy and confidence about their role now believing that they are going to make a difference in everything they do from here on in.
If you are required to speak with IT candidates or absorb IT CVs and job specs for a living, our training will be your springboard to success.
Understand the terminology and jargon on CVs and job specs. Appreciate what makes a good IT candidate stand out. Be confident and credible when selling IT jobs to an IT candidate and when selling IT professionals to a client. Passion and credibility through knowledge and awareness. This is what Holistica courses are all about.
All of our training events are interactive and drive the knowledge home in a fun and informative way. Whether it’s classroom based or through the online platform, we are confident that we can bring IT to life for you. If you’re in recruitment, this means that you can relate easily to the clients and candidates you interact with.
Because our founder himself has direct experience of being an IT recruiter in one of the toughest markets in the world, all of the material is designed in a way that is directly applicable to the IT recruitment industry. Credibility through knowledge and passion is the key. Application of the learned material is the end result that is always pushed.
In a market over-run with recruiters who simply word-match and often don’t have a clue how to engage with either the client or candidate, we can guarantee that our courses will bring your people to a new level of enthusiasm and passion when it comes to their role as an IT recruiter.
These are the highly acclaimed workshops for IT recruiters wishing to come across as more confident and credible in IT terminology and IT Roles. Whether you need the basic framework or need to be seen as a vertical expert in your field, these courses will give you the confidence you need to excel in your area of IT.

From some of the largest recruitment agencies to Fortune 500 companies, Ayub has been invited to come along and deliver his own brand of delivery in order to make the world of IT come to life for those who need to become comfortable with the jargon and terminology.
After graduating with an Honours Degree in Aeronautical / Mechanical Engineering from Kingston University, Ayub spent a number of years as an IT trainer and then an IT Recruiter in the city of London. Here he identified for himself that there was often a chasm of understanding between techno phobic business professionals (IT Recruiters and HR) and the IT people with whom they interacted on a regular basis. And so through Holistica he was able to bring together the three loves of his life, IT – Recruitment- Training.
Today Ayub travels the globe demystifying IT from the simple basics through to the most leading edge concepts such as IoT, Cloud, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data. Ayub’s passion is technology and, if there is a new concept that is looming over the horizon, he has made it his life’s purpose to identify it, digest it and get it ready for delivery to his beloved IT recruitment audience before the candidates and clients even notice!
