Certified Recruitment Specialist

Program Overview

A recruitment specialist's daily performance determines how quickly vacancies are filled and whether the right people join. This hands-on programme covers the operational recruitment cycle: taking a vacancy brief with the hiring manager, writing effective job advertisements, sourcing through job boards, LinkedIn and Boolean search, screening CVs against objective criteria, conducting structured and competency-based interviews, using assessment tools, checking references, and managing offers and onboarding handover. It includes localisation requirements, national talent platforms and work permit considerations in Gulf countries, and recruitment metrics such as time-to-fill and quality of hire.
