This Learning Path Includes 3 Missions

While expensive market research reports can provide insights on the talent landscape, they're often too generalised to give you and your fellow Hiring Team a realistic picture of the demand and supply of talent for the role you're hiring today. You can use your sourcing skills not just to find talent, but to uncover data and insights about the talent landscape. In this mission, Jose will show you effective techniques for mapping talent using live data.
Executive Hiring is not rocket science, but there is an art to executive search. The subtle differences from standard requisitions when hiring for very senior and executive roles come from the seniority of the stakeholders, the consequences of making the wrong hiring decision, and the long courtship of candidates when headhunting. In this mission, you'll learn how to plan and prepare for an executive search assignment, the data and insights required to support hiring strategy, and techniques for engaging senior and executive talent.
The early investment of time for any executive search project is critical to its success. In this mission, Roopesh Panchasra, Global Head of Executive Talent Acquisition at Uber, will go through these early-stage components and show you a structure that you can use as you begin any executive search to help get off to a positive start.
