Most recruiters wait for roles to be posted. Top performers position themselves where decisions are made before requisitions exist.

The situation this course is for

High-visibility roles are often quietly staffed through trusted partners before job descriptions go live. Without strategic positioning, even skilled recruiters stay excluded from the highest-leverage opportunities.

Who this is for

Senior Talent Acquisition Partner working in agile, high-growth environments where role design and talent strategy intersect.

Who this is not for

Recruiters focused solely on volume hiring, or those without access to early-stage role conversations.

What you walk away with

  • Identify emerging role demand before formal approval cycles
  • Position yourself as the default partner for strategic hires
  • Shape talent narratives that align with leadership priorities
  • Secure access to engagements with expanded scope and influence
  • Build repeatable outreach patterns that surface unposted opportunities
