The online course "Active Sourcing with LinkedIn & AI" focuses on a well-known problem in recruiting. You search for hours and still can't find the right profiles. When you reach out to someone, the response often doesn't come. The course shows you how to use LinkedIn and AI to find talent specifically and write messages that trigger reactions.
The structure is divided into five practice-oriented modules. You start with networking on LinkedIn and making talent aware of you. Then you go through the basics of active sourcing, i.e., the principles for active searching. Module three covers Boolean Search for precise searches.
Module four deals with direct outreach and best practices. You learn how to personally reach candidates. The fifth module shows you efficient active sourcing with AI. This is about using AI strategically and time-efficiently, e.g., ChatGPT for talent search.
Data protection is a separate topic in the course. You get a GDPR checklist with the nine most important points. This is accompanied by instructions for the legally compliant use of AI tools and LinkedIn in recruiting. The provider points out that the checklist does not replace individual legal advice.
The course is aimed at HR professionals and recruiters who want to improve their direct outreach. You don't need any prior knowledge of LinkedIn or AI tools. The course starts with the basics and guides you step by step. You get concrete templates and instructions that are understandable even for beginners.
The course includes workbooks with tasks so you can apply what you've learned directly. You receive free access to all LinkedIn Learning courses from the trainer. Three months of LinkedIn Learning with over 20,000 courses to choose from are included. In the community, you exchange ideas with other HR professionals.
The course is a self-paced course. After payment, you get access to all content within a short time. You should plan about two to three hours to work through the lessons and tasks. Access runs for 12 months, so you can repeat the lessons as often as you like. A certificate or qualification is not mentioned on the course page.
