Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
3,637 IT recruiting tools in one course: 2,837 ready-to-use files, search strings, prompts, templates and checklists, 172 services and apps shown on screen, plus 628 models and methods.
Open a lecture, take the tool, use it in today's search, message or interview.
Why developers ignore recruiters
A good developer gets several recruiter messages a week and answers almost none. The message is generic, the role is described in words the recruiter does not fully understand, and the search that found them was the same one every other recruiter ran. The recruiter sends more messages, the reply rate falls further, and the vacancy stays open for months.
What changes after this course
You search where others do not and write what others cannot. Queries for GitHub, GitLab and Stack Overflow that surface people who are not on job boards. Boolean and X-Ray strings built for each role. Outreach written in the developer's own terms. Interview questions by stack and a scorecard to compare candidates. Prompts that do the routine drafting, so your time goes into the conversations that close the hire.

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.
I have built technical recruitment and helped recruiters apply sourcing to live vacancies. At Alfa-Bank, I filled roles in the IT department, and at the STB television channel my team also hired for IT. At iDeals, I asked a sourcing specialist to coach recruiters individually, working alongside them on their vacancies and correcting their approach when needed. Within a few weeks, recruiters began reporting candidates they had found through sourcing. This experience informs the sourcing tools in this course.
How to use the course
Start with the five core sections: they take you from understanding technical roles to a first shortlist and an AI-assisted workflow. Then treat the rest as a reference library. Section and lecture titles show how many tools are inside, and each lecture description lists them by name, so you can find the right tool for the role you are filling.
What is included
- 444 lectures across 68 sections, 232 hours
- 625 downloadable resources: lecture presentations and working files
- 3,637 tools across the lessons, ready to copy into your own work
- Lifetime access to all materials
- Active instructor support in the Q&A section
- A Udemy Certificate of Completion
Where to start
Take your hardest open technical role. Open the sourcing section, run two of the queries for that stack, and send five messages built on the outreach structure. Recruiters who source where developers actually are fill roles while others are still reposting the ad, and every week a technical vacancy stays open delays the product. Enrol now and start your first lesson today.
