Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
A strong candidate applies, goes halfway through the process and disappears. Multiply that by dozens of candidates and the cost is missed hires, a damaged reputation and lost time. Here are 322 tools to keep them: 255 ready-to-use templates, question lists, checklists, AI prompts and procedures, 44 models and methods, 19 services shown on screen and 4 working files.
Open a lecture, take the template or the prompt, and fix one step of your hiring process this week.
Why candidates disappear
Nobody owns the experience from the first ad to the first day. Candidates wait for answers, repeat the same information, meet interviewers who are not prepared and hear nothing after the final round. Each step looks small, but together they make your best candidates accept another offer.
What changes after this course
You see the whole journey and the step where candidates drop out. Communication is timely and human, interviews are structured and fair, feedback is collected and used, and the employer brand and onboarding keep the promise you made during hiring.

Who is teaching
I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.
When I worked at Preply, it was still a small company nobody had heard of, and the candidate experience was how we won people over from better-known competitors. When I joined iDeals, the company had just moved out of rented apartments into a modern office, and the old reviews about it were terrible. Within a year my team rebuilt the hiring process and the candidate experience, and the CEO saw top candidates coming to him and speaking well about the company.
