Friday, April 29, 2022


So you're ready to get into Tech and thinking about being in the department of Talent Acquisition or Human Resources. If so then this is a quick guide of where to get the training you so desperately do not need but most likely want so you can get in. We hope this helps, if so, please share this article and tell a friend about us.

You do not need to take any of these courses or classes to become a recruiter or Sourcer. Our founder learned on the job and many are self-taught from long ago. But, it does help to have some kind of certification to show that you are serious.

In our opinion, having spoken with top leaders in this field, we believe this is the best information as of the published date. We will update this list as time permits but also feel free to comment below any tips you might have.
