Instructor: N/A • Language: N/A

Lead talent acquisition teams with workforce planning, recruitment analytics, employer branding, and recruitment automation strategies for scalable hiring.

Description

Moving from being a good recruiter to leading an entire talent acquisition function is a massive shift. You stop focusing on filling individual roles and start building systems, leading teams, and aligning hiring strategy with business goals. This course is designed for that exact transition. It gives you a complete roadmap for auditing recruitment systems, building high performing teams, leveraging analytics, and presenting yourself as a strategic TA leader, not just a senior recruiter.

This Course Offers

  • A complete audit framework for your recruitment system: Move beyond guessing what is broken. You receive checklists for recruitment system audits, employer brand audits, recruiter evaluations, and recruitment performance audits. You will know exactly where your bottlenecks are.
  • Strategic workforce planning and recruitment strategy: Learn to calculate the number of recruiters your company actually needs, define recruitment channels, and build a strategy that scales with business growth. No more reactive, firefighting hiring.
  • Employer branding and EVP development from scratch: Study your target audience, examine the candidate journey, enhance your Employee Value Proposition, and launch HR marketing campaigns. The course includes specific modules on referral programs, forced recommendations, and building a talent magnet.
  • Data driven management of recruitment teams: Understand recruiter compensation, bonus structures, grading systems, and recruitment competitions. You will learn to use job funnels, KPIs, and analytics to measure performance and make decisions, not just report activity.

Why We Love This Course

  1. It covers what most recruitment courses ignore: the business of running a TA function. You learn workforce planning, recruiter workload calculations, budget considerations, and how to build a business case for recruitment investments. This is the stuff that separates directors from managers.
  2. The instructor brings serious credibility. Mike Pritula has over 1.6 million enrollments across 500 HR courses and 30 languages through PapaHR. He has built systems at companies like Preply on its path to a $1.2 billion valuation. This is not theoretical advice.
  3. The resource pack is substantial and immediately useful. You receive 13 downloadable assets, one article, a role play scenario, and 6 hours of video across 14 lectures. Audit checklists, EVP templates, recruiter evaluation forms, and reporting templates mean you can start improving your function this week.
  4. It balances strategic leadership with tactical operations. You learn high level topics like building a scalable recruitment model and aligning TA with business goals. But you also get practical instruction on advanced Boolean search, recruitment automation tools, sourcing plugins, and structured interview processes.

Recruitment leaders do not just fill jobs. They build the systems, teams, and strategies that enable entire companies to grow. The question is whether you want to develop the strategic, analytical, and leadership skills required for that role or stay stuck in the tactical day to day of individual requisitions.
