Frequently Asked Questions
What is the class format?
Classes will be held 2 evenings a week for 6 weeks for the sourcing-only portion and 12 weeks for the full class. The classes will be a mix of classroom-style instruction, group projects, role plays, homework, and learning from guest speakers. The most important part is the hands-on practice. You'll partner with Ejento recruiters to recruit for live engineering jobs and apply what you learn from the class. This gives you real life experience speaking with engineers and concrete metrics to share in your technical recruiting interviews.
When is the next class?
Due to our internal ATS transition, we are pushing the class date back. The next class is now scheduled to run from September 5th, 2019 until November 25th, 2019.

This is a 12-week course that will be held in person at the Ejento office in San Francisco. We may offer online courses in the future, but for now, all of the classes will be held in person.
