About this Program

Having the right leader in the right role can make or break an organization. Nationwide, there’s more demand than ever for job recruiters or headhunters who specialize in executive recruiting — the process of seeking, assessing and placing highly qualified candidates into senior-level roles.

In this one-course specialization, you’ll receive rigorous training in executive recruiting fundamentals from HR experts with decades of executive search experience. You’ll learn how to facilitate executive hiring, and how to develop an executive search strategy to generate high-quality candidates. You’ll explore how to use job analysis data to develop behavior- and situation-based interview questions, and you’ll build a framework you can use to assess C-level candidates.
