Training is about the basics and standards of recruitment, it's like ABC for recruiters. It also helps a lot to recruiters with experience to understand the process more and remove a lot of "waste" from day-to-day work. The training has given me interest in sourcing and helped to remove all the unneeded activities from my daily work.
I gathered lots of ideas and sources from the course that I have later successfully used. At times, I feel like worked in the Stone Age before. How many possibilities there are nowadays ... The training is truly very eye-opening.
Before the training, recruitment seemed like a simple process to me. During the course I saw how much work and effort it really requires. Thanks to the tips and tricks from the course, I have found a lot more suitable candidates than before. The training has been very beneficial.
I definitely recommend this training to both recruiters and specialists, whose tasks include HR management. The knowledge shared during the course is very well structured and covers various other HR topics in addition to recruitment activities.
The amount of unnecessary activities in my day-to-day work has decreased. The course has instilled me with the courage to try out new solutions and tools for recruitment. 10/10, highly practical. I would recommend this course to anyone who looks to treat recruitment as something more than publishing ads on job portals.
The course provided me with the opportunity to brush up and advance my recruitment skills. Afterwards, I have taken steps to automate my workflow using several new applications and environments introduced during the course. The training is highly practical, because you can test everything you have learned on your ongoing projects.
