Search Like a Recruiter

This is our free course, in eight short steps. You'll work out what a proper search takes at the hours you have, and you'll learn the checks and the writing that make each application count.
It takes 35 to 40 minutes. Each step is a short read with a few questions to try, and the course saves your place as you go.

Step 1 asks what one offer costs you. You'll set the standard for a proper application: a tailored resume, a cover letter for this job, and a direct email to a named person.

Step 2 is the market in three numbers. You'll see what today's market looks like for applicants, from published research.

Step 3 teaches you to read an ad in five minutes. Five questions tell you whether an ad deserves a full application.

Step 4 sorts real, stale and doubtful postings. You'll practice telling a live job from one that's old or not what it seems.

Step 5 tailors your resume and cover letter. You'll match each requirement to proof in the ad's own words.

Step 6 is about reaching a person directly. You'll write a short email to the person who owns the role.

Step 7 gives you your number. You'll see the hours a proper search takes each week against the hours you have.

Step 8 shows three ways to cover the gap. You'll choose how to run the search, including doing all of it yourself.
