Course Description
In this course (updated version from 15.04.2024), I will share with you all of the knowledge and insight I have acquired as an IT Recruiter working within an international environment. I understand that the official IT language can be quite dry and, yes, even boring at times, making it difficult for non-IT individuals to follow. Therefore, I have made a lot of practical examples to ensure that this course is as easy to understand as possible, utilizing numerous practical examples
Thus, in this course you will find an introduction to information about:
- IT Fundamentals (such as hardware & software, operating systems, and project life cycle), which are essential for further IT roles understanding;
- IT roles itself (key responsibilities, functions, and skills related to it). Each recruiter has to stay in close contact with the hiring manager to be able to identify his needs and each recruiter has to understand the market to be able to find a perfect match;
- IT Technologies (incl. programming languages, frameworks, databases, deployments, and communication tools)
- Some tips & tricks for sourcing
I sincerely hope that you will enjoy this course on an ongoing basis and that it helps you be at your job not only efficient but successful.
Are you ready to jump into the IT Recruitment world? Then see you soon! And no worries, if you can’t swim there yet, I have a lifebuoy with me ;)

After completing my master degree in Germany, I have decided to stay here for a while and start my career as an IT Recruiter. Thus, I have already almost 5 years of Recruitment professional experience , focusing now more on IT freelance recruitment.
While working for various international big companies and concerns I have managed to collect a lot of useful and easy-to-understand tips and details about IT world and IT Recruitment, which I would like to share with the Recruiters, who are willing to learn more about this area and for those who would like to be successful on the career path.

The most valuable aspect of this course isn't becoming a coding expert, but rather demystifying technology. Valeria Frisch manages to explain concepts that seem like "magic" (such as cloud deployment or microservices) in such a simple way that you lose your fear of talking to a senior developer. She gives you the necessary "dictionary" so you don't feel lost in a technical meeting.

It was really great, and as a recruiter, I found it very easy to understand each topic and how it works. This will definitely help me validate candidates more effectively during screening by understanding their responsibilities and cross-checking them. Overall, I believe this will be very useful for employees with 0–2 years of experience who are starting their career in IT recruitment.

Very good course, I have learnt a lot. The only thing is I would like more information about the Recruiter part, some extra tips to those who are just starting in this world. For example, where can i get clients if i decide to work as a freelancer, o something like that. Thanks, was a nice course.

Yes, ofcourse, it is a good match for my profile. This course entitles a wide description on all the IT related terms which makes quite clear about various topics for any Technical Recruiter. One must pursue this course if working in the IT Recruitment field.

The detailed information was very helpful and much needed. However, it's challenging to keep track of everything and not forget this volume of information. Having some main point notes/ general summary after each lesson would be great to always have something to refer back to.

Very informative and well structured course for Recruiters/Talent Acquisition Partners working in industries responsible for the identification and recruitment of candidates in IT, Software Engineering/Dev, AI/ML, Data Science/Engineering, Project Management etc. I've been working in a recruitment role that requires a high-level knowledge in these areas for over a year, and I wish I had of enrolled in this course sooner. I completed this course over the course of a weekend, and by the following Monday, I was already recognising the learning outcomes whilst reviewing resumes/CV's, candidate screening calls, and collaborating with internal stakeholders on HR requirements. Thankyou!

Excellent course. Valeria explained each topic on point and it is useful and helpful for my career. But I would recommend that she add roles like System, and network in the course. If anyone is choosing to be an IT Recruiter, Technical Recruiter, or Talent Acquisition in the IT industry it is the best course for you all.

+ Very good course, explained exactly what I wanted to know in a simple way and it was to the point. - Sometimes the voice does not match with what is shown on the screen. - Also it would be great if the downloadable resources includes a table with lists of all the names under: Programming languages, databases, tools, methodologies divided by category. That would help us a lot when we screen CVs, we can just refer to these list to identify what the abbreviation or terminology in the CV refers to.

This course is so great!!! I learned so many things from it. Thank you so much Teacher! If you can provide a course which teaches us how to question the candidates about each position and that will be great. Thanks again!
