A Technical Recruiting Career
Are you an experienced recruiter looking to develop your technical recruiting skills? Or maybe you are a new recruiter looking to sharpen your skills in sourcing. We created TechRec Academy to help recruiters learn technical recruiting. Some of our students have graduated from our program to become technical recruiters for top tech companies. You can too!
After this program, you’ll understand how to partner with engineering leadership and technical hiring teams, learn best practices in technical sourcing and interviewing, and develop your brand and reputation as a world-class technical recruiter! You can find more topics on our Classes page.
