Description

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.

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.
