  One of the most rapidly evolving and dynamic business sector is the IT
domain, where there is a problem finding experienced, skilled and qualified
employees. Specialists are essential for developing and implementing new ideas
into products. Human resources (HR) department plays a major role in the
recruitment of qualified employees by assessing their skills, using different
HR metrics, and selecting the best candidates for a specific job. Most
recruiters are not qualified to evaluate IT specialists. In order to decrease
the gap between the HR department and IT specialists, we designed, implemented
and tested an Expert System for Recruiting IT specialist - ESRIT. The expert
system uses text mining, natural language processing, and classification
algorithms to extract relevant information from resumes by using a knowledge
base that stores the relevant key skills and phrases. The recruiter is looking
for the same abilities and certificates, trying to place the best applicant
into a specific position. The article presents a developing picture of the top
major IT skills that will be required in 2014 and it argues for the choice of
