This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
558 tools for full-cycle recruitment in one course: 17 downloadable tool files, 373 ready-to-use AI prompts, templates, scripts, checklists and search strings, 63 models and methods, and 105 services and apps shown on screen.
Open a lecture, take the tool, use it on your next vacancy.
Why a recruiter gets stuck in the middle
Many recruiters do one part of the job well: they search, or they interview, or they coordinate. The vacancy still stays open, because the weak link is somewhere else: an unclear request, no contacts for the best candidates, an interview that proves nothing, an offer that arrives too late. A senior recruiter owns the whole chain.
What changes after this course
You get a clear request and a candidate profile from the hiring manager. You search where others do not look and find contact details. You write messages that passive candidates answer. You assess with structured interviews and a scorecard the manager trusts. You sell the role, close the offer and keep the candidate until the first working day. And you see your funnel in numbers.
What is inside: 558 tools, counted file by file
You do not have to take this number on trust. Open any lecture and read its description: every tool inside is listed there by name.
Where the tools are
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.
At StarLightMedia I built recruiting as head of recruitment and onboarding and later as HR director. I formed a team of 12 recruiters, and we worked on more than 2,000 vacancies. When the system started to deliver, hiring managers complained: you show many candidates, but not of the quality we want. It was all impressions and no facts. So I introduced a candidate scorecard where the manager rated each candidate on a five-point scale. Month by month the average rating rose to 4.5, because recruiters stopped bringing candidates they were not sure about. That scorecard logic runs through this course.
How to use the course
Watch the first four sections in order to close one vacancy from request to offer. Then use the rest as a reference: section and lecture titles show how many tools are inside, and each lecture description lists them by name.
