Online Recruiter Training Overview

Online Recruiter Training by Recruiting Toolbox is designed to give you a scalable, anytime-access training solution for your corporate recruiters. All content is developed and delivered by our Founder, John Vlastelica, in bite-sized episodes that can be assembled to reflect the learning journey you seek for your recruiting team. It’s hosted by Social Talent, who are experts in online learning.

Our content is loaded with:

Battle-tested best practices that actually work in a world of high req loads, tight talent markets, and unrealistic hiring managers 🙂

Practical, how-to language recruiters can use when advising hiring managers, interviewing candidates, and presenting offers

Stories and real-life examples that come from a credible trainer who has spent years as a recruiter and corporate recruiting leader at leading companies like Amazon and Expedia, and has been trusted to train recruiters at world-class companies

Frameworks designed to help recruiters take what they’ve learned to improve the strategies and processes they present to their hiring managers – don’t just learn what and how to do it, but WHY to do it, as well, so recruiters can influence and drive adoption with busy hiring teams

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the target audience for this training?

Corporate recruiters and recruiting managers.

How long is the training?

Each episode is about 3-6 minutes long, and there are over 100 episodes across all of the topics. The recruiting leader who purchases the training can tailor the learning journey to the needs of her team, so that the most important content is focused on first. Some clients will start with core modules that need to be completed in a quarter, and then release new content over the coming months.

I just need something short and basic, like 1 hour. Is this for me?

No, this is a more comprehensive program. It wouldn’t be affordable for you if you only need 1 hour. Instead, check out some of our free recorded webinars and presentations.

Is this training any good?

Yes.

This training is the same quality training that companies like Google, Nike, Nestle, Salesforce, Adidas, Starbucks, Atlassian, and Disney engage us to build for them…it’s just that this training is not custom-built or delivered live, and – obviously – lacks the small group discussion and peer-to-peer learning that comes from live training.

The presenter, John Vlastelica, is known for his engaging, fun, direct, practical approach, earning #1 speaker ratings at conferences in the US and Europe, including #1 ratings 2 years in a row at LinkedIn Talent Connect, a #1 rating at RecFest UK, and a #1 rating at SourceCon.

Is there any way to customize this online training to our needs?

Yes, you can customize the learning paths, so that people only see the content you want them to see. And, you can also upload custom content to complement the existing content on the platform, so that your employees learn your specific process, your role expectations, your definitions of “what good looks like,” and more. You can engage Recruiting Toolbox to help you build custom content. Contact us to learn more.

Can you offer hybrid learning – some offline, some online?

Yes, we can use the online training as a foundation, and then build custom, offline, live training to create something more interactive, with small breakout group discussions, paired practice, and live Q&A – all critical if you’re trying to drive real behavior change. We can also build custom guides – sourcing strategies focused on diversity, interviewing guides tied to your competency models, closing worksheets ties to your EVP, for example – to complement the online training.

Do you offer the training in multiple languages?

Right now, all training is delivered in US-English. Some content has transcripts available in French and German as well.

How is the training hosted online?

The training is hosted by Social Talent, our partner in Ireland who has built a world-class online training platform. This training does not look like a bunch of password-protected YouTube videos – this is an interactive, multi-language learning tool with tools to help you drive and measure engagement, test for comprehension, and access content on desktop and mobile.

How is the training sold?

You can contact us to learn more about our packages. It’s sold as 1- or 2-year licenses, by Recruiting Toolbox, with a minimum of 10 licenses purchased. It’s designed for recruiting teams, not for just 1-2 recruiters. It’s hosted by our partners at Social Talent in Ireland.
