About You

You are looking for a Boolean Search Guide to find better candidates than ever before. Perhaps you are looking for a software developer, maybe a financial services professional, or maybe even a technical salesperson. No matter the vertical, we can help.

About Me

With all the choice here on Udemy, you are probably wondering why you should take one of my online courses or even work with me directly. Well, let me give you a few good reasons...


Reason #1

I know how to recruit. I am a talent acquisition practitioner. I have been a professional recruiter for the best part of 2 decades. I have placed candidates with companies in several countries, and I have placed many different types of roles, such as software developers, salespeople, accountants, administrative staff and more. I have found that the key to my success is my Recruitment Process - I use structure when I recruit, and I would like to share that structure with you.


Reason #2

I know how to teach. Not only have I had thousands of happy students to date here on Udemy, but I have also conducted countless in-person training sessions over the years, showing other people how to recruit. It is one thing to know your material, but it is quite another to successfully convey that message to others.


Reason #3

I wrote the book on talent acquisition. I am the author of a book called The Lean Recruiting Toolkit (Amazon), which has scored a notable 4.8 / 5 stars on IndieReader. In this book, I illustrate how to apply advanced lean manufacturing concepts to the recruitment function so that you get better and better results over time.
