✨ About the Workshop

Recruitment Is More Than Posting Jobs

Recruitment is much more than posting jobs and scheduling interviews. A recruiter needs to understand a requirement, identify the right candidate profile, search across multiple channels, evaluate resumes, communicate with candidates, and make informed shortlisting decisions.

In this live practical workshop, StaffIQ Talent Solutions will take participants through the actual recruitment workflow using practical examples and live demonstrations. Instead of only discussing recruitment concepts, we will demonstrate how a recruiter approaches a real requirement — from receiving a Job Description to finding and evaluating potential candidates.

You'll see the process, live:

Job Description Requirement Analysis Keywords Boolean Search Candidate Sourcing Profile Screening Shortlisting

We'll also explore how AI is becoming part of the modern recruiter's toolkit, and where human recruitment skills continue to matter.
