Stalled candidate pipelines in high-budget IT roles due to misalignment between sourcing and project stakeholder expectations
The situation this course is for

Who this is not for
Entry-level recruiters, generalist sourcers, or those focused solely on volume hiring without strategic client alignment.
What you walk away with
- Identify high-margin project roles before they go to market
- Map niche technical skills to real project briefs with precision
