Want to recruit top-level talent like a pro? This course will show you how.

Executive Search and Headhunting are more than just buzzwords — they’re elite recruitment skills that separate average recruiters from top performers. Whether you’re filling C-level roles or hard-to-reach positions, you’ll learn how to target, engage, and close high-value candidates other recruiters can’t even find.

In this hands-on training, you’ll master every stage of the headhunting process — from building a job order and scanning the market, to cold outreach, handling counter-offers, and closing the deal. Learn the exact frameworks and tools used by executive search firms to consistently win at the highest level.

This course is based on 20+ years of experience in the field and designed to give you ready-to-use templates, scripts, maps, and strategies you can apply immediately.
