Course Description

Hiring is an opportunity to bring talented people to your organization who can help take your business to the next level. Yet, if you make the wrong hiring decisions you can end up having wasted time, money and energy. 

In this course, you'll gain a consolidated overview of the the latest research and best practices in hiring--so that you can design the right process for your own company. You'll gain actionable insights from bestselling business books and learn from real case studies about how to recruit, screen, and hire the right people for your team. 

The course will cover:

  •  5 typical steps in a hiring process—scoping, sourcing, screening, selecting, and selling candidates on the position—and give you practical exercises to develop each of these steps for your own company.
  • You’ll look specifically at how to identify the talent needs of your organization and then structure a job to meet these needs.
  • You’ll develop a job description and corresponding scorecard to identify the kinds of traits and skills you need to recruit for
  • You'll look specifically at how to identify the right recruitment channels to find candidates.
  • You'll develop a screening process—including crafting powerful interview questions and creating trial tasks to test for the right abilities.
  • And, finally, you'll learn how to make the job offer, and effectively bring someone on board.

By the end of this introductory course, you’ll have a solid understanding of best practices for hiring great people.

It gave a really good general overview of the entire process. Of course each role and hiring process is different, burtit gives a basic foundation to start from with great tips and resources.

I am being brought onboard as a recruiter for a family owned business that I will eventually be running in my area. I have very few recruitment and interviewing skills, I feel this course will benefit me in successfully recruiting and staffing. Very informative and will be an asset to any company who value their workforce.

By Vivien Jackson on 4/16/2021

Great information in this course on various methods of hiring and interviewing potential employees. The steps given are very basic but necessary. Most are familiar with the process, but a person can also discover in the course what they need to do as well when seeking a job. I recommend this course.

I was hoping the resources the instructor would provide would not be a link from the internet but their own notes on what they have discussed on the this lesson. Would also suggest more illustrations/slides on what is being discussed.

Very clear explanations and case studies. I was totally new to recruitment and now after finishing this course, I have clear idea of the concept. Thanks to Amy!

Thorough and clear to understand. Great examples to illustrate concepts and retain info. Loved the Veronica story and how it connected the points all the way through the lesson!

By April A Lagrande on 4/13/2020

The information being provided is solid tips and advice that works in everyday recruiting process. Also there are a lot of additional resources imbedded in the presentation, which was very helpful.

This course was very helpful, being a recruitment specialist you believe that you have everything down pat, but I have learnt so much especially in the ways of extending in offer to the candidate so they feel heard and wanted in the new organisation.

Its a perfect course of Video & Audio improvising on many of the recruitment patterns followed till date. It gives an insight on smoother and easier and much more systematic approach towards recruitment strategy.

By Taylor Brewington on 2/13/2019

I am currently doing somewhat of an internship with my company in the recruiting department and I wanted some extra knowledge to help me squeeze into that roll, this course was great in helping me understand how to better strategize my approach because I now understand that I wasn't selling the job as well thank you. However it starts slightly boring. I had trouble with interest at first but it was interesting the way you set up the video duration helped me with retention.
