Recruitment BootcampFounder, Author, Trainer
Jan. 2023Bristol, England, United KingdomRecruitment Bootcamp has a very simple mission – to improve recruitment practices within the creative sector in the UK, creating a positive, beneficial and enjoyable experience for everyone involved in the process – that’s both the recruiter and the candidate. £975.00 including VAT. The purpose of this course is to coach and help those who are willing to adopt a totally different approach to recruitment. Those who want to learn how to be more effective, more efficient, more appealing to their potential employees and how to recruit properly! With an online course, we can reach more people, and get a chance to offer honest and accurate information on recruiting, and teaching skills that so often are not taught. In all honesty, recruitment should be fun! People who are recruiting should be thinking “I’m so pleased and excited that we’ve got an opportunity to get a great new person into the team“ – and really mean it! You will learn all sorts of skills, will be given information you may never have even thought about, you’ll finish the course with a plan, and with a clear direction on how you want to recruit people for your business, and who those people are! You'll get one to one support and advice from me during the programme (30+ years as a recruiter, I know some stuff!), and we can focus on your next or current vacancy to ensure you get the best person for the job. We'll include advertising the role through our network (which is huge) in the cost of Recruitment Bootcamp, to demonstrate how well it works. Loads of bonuses available too..
