This course is for Hiring Managers looking to improve their approach to working with recruiters to help to meet their long-term goals.

Recruiters and hiring managers must implement well thought out strategies to find and attract the talent needed to make the organization successful. This course focuses on the ability of the recruiter and hiring manager to work together as business partners to successfully meet these long-term goals. Today, we will look to understand recruitment and hiring so that we can serve as consultants to our business partners. By the end of this course, you will be able to employ best practices to create a consistent approach to working with your recruiter/business partner, explain the recruitment and hiring process, the people involved and their responsibilities, create a thorough checklist of ways to be a consultant to your designated recruiter, and invest your time wisely to ensure a productive outcome and successful hire. To be successful in this course, you should have at least 2 years of work experience.

As hiring managers, we have the opportunity to ensure that recruiters (whether internal/direct or external/ agency) are prepared to conduct a more systematic, structured and effective process so that the ideal outcome is met in a quick, efficient and effective manner.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:

  • The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.

  • The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
