Are you Scaling Your Team?
You're building your team, and you need recruiters. How does TechRec Academy work?
Our students are experienced recruiters looking to become in-house tech recruiters. We vet not only for recruiters with stellar recruiting skills, but also for those with the Key Traits for Success.
We collaborate with our network of recruiting and engineering leaders to develop a training program specifically designed to help recruiters learn the skills and knowledge needed to be effective.
We train our students over the course of a 12-week part-time class, where students learn technology, sharpen their recruiting skills, and learn how to work effectively with technical hiring teams.
We've built a community to provide TechRec Academy alumni with continued training and support while they work in their new jobs as technical recruiters within companies.
"The team you build is the company you build."
