345 tools for IT recruitment in one course: 198 ready-to-use search strings, prompts, templates, question lists and checklists, 108 sourcing services and apps shown on screen, plus 39 models and methods.
Open a lecture, copy the search string, run it on today's vacancy.
Why developers do not answer
A recruiter new to IT sends a hundred messages and gets three replies. The search returned the wrong people, the message showed that the recruiter did not understand the role, and the engineer closed it in two seconds. Technical hiring is won before the first message: by knowing what the role really is, where these people are, and what to write to them.
What changes after this course
You understand the roles and the stack, so you can read a profile and ask the right questions. You have search strings for each kind of developer and services that find profiles and contacts. You write outreach that names the technology and the task. And you can assess a candidate before the hiring manager spends time on the interview.
What is inside: 345 tools, counted file by file
You do not have to take this number on trust. Open any lecture and read its description: every tool and every service inside is listed there by name.

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 started as a recruiter myself. At Alfa-Bank I filled vacancies in the IT department, and at the STB television channel my team did the same. Then I joined Wargaming, a company that was IT through and through, and later built the whole HR system at Preply, including recruiting and sourcing, and solved the same task at iDeals. When I looked for IT recruiters at Preply, I was surprised that most had handled only one or two vacancies at a time. The tools in this course come from building IT recruitment more than once.
