Questions, answered

Will I have to learn to code?

No. The course is explicitly for non-technical recruiters — you learn to understand technology, not to build it.

Does this cover US IT or domestic IT?

The technology understanding applies to both. It pairs naturally with our US staffing courses if you are heading that way.

I come from bulk/non-IT hiring — is that okay?

Yes. This course is designed exactly for recruiters making that move.
