Defaulting to generalist talent pools and reactive hiring cycles
The situation this course is for

Who this is for
Strategic recruiter operating in tech, fintech, or consulting firms where security compliance frameworks shape senior hiring
Who this is not for
Recruiters focused only on volume placements or non-technical roles

- Position with hiring managers as a recruiter who speaks control language
