I would highly recommend this book:

Technology Made Simple for the Technical Recruiter: A Technical Skills Primer https://www.amazon.com/dp/1450216463/

My team had a guy who was not very technical, but it was at a traditional enterprise software company so it didn’t matter as much. He was actually really good / smart and wound up getting hired by Google for a PR role. Anyway his manager recommended the book above. Ever since, I have always recommended / bought it for ppl on my teams. I know it says “recruiter” in the title, but really it’s for everyone who doesn’t have the word engineer in their title.
