I would recommend this course for all those who willing to start and grow their career in HR Executive and Talent Acquisition Management. As a career transition from Technical to HR/TA background, this course is enough to gain and receive knowledge in Hiring and Recruitment process
By Ioana Dumitrescu on 11/4/2025
The course is well structured, and as an introductory course, it covers many aspects. I found it very interesting, it's helped me add new aspects to my job as a HR professional. I liked that there were assignments and quizzes - maybe a suggestion would be to add more testing elements that are not very time-consuming or complicated. I also found the Naukri portal module a bit too specific, but it wasn't really a problem as job portals do employ a similar structure. Thank you for this course!

The online course a highly informative and rewarding experience. The course provided a comprehensive overview of modern recruitment practices and many more. The content was well-structured, up-to-date, and easy to follow, even for someone with limited prior experience. I particularly appreciated the practical examples, templates, and real-world case studies that helped bridge theory with practice. The interactive elements, such as quizzes and scenario-based assignments, kept me engaged and reinforced my understanding. Additionally, the insights on digital recruitment tools and employer branding were especially valuable in today’s competitive hiring environment. Overall, this course has greatly enhanced my knowledge and confidence in the recruitment field. I would recommend it to HR professionals, hiring managers, or anyone looking to strengthen their recruitment skills.

NextGen HR is a great course for the recruiter freshmen or more precisely for someone who is at their entry level of recruitment or HR career. The concepts were well articulated and explained with surveys conducted in real time environment. Some of the major tools & software that a recruiter could use was listed down which was very informative. Overall, its recommended for all the beginners or entry level associates into HR realm.

Yes its good course. Suggest to give example of Boolean and X-ray screen to source lateral profile when we have multiple key words. Eg: Looking for IO Layout with 3-10 years of experience with finfet technologies 3nm, 4nm, 5nm . Experienced with Cadence viruoso/XL/Calibre/PVS/Assura. Location. Bangalore. Immediate joinee preferred

This course is amazing and useful but its not a complete package. This course should include Manpower planning calculation, Recruitment Budgeting, Cost per hire, Recruitment metrics & analytics, and Talent Acquisition long term strategy should be added to make a complete package for everyone.
