Transform your career with Freelance Tech Recruiting - it changed mine.

If we haven't met before - Hi, my name is Michal 👋

I've been navigating the dynamic world of IT since 2005.

My journey took a significant turn in 2018 when I stepped into freelance tech recruiting, a decision that not only revolutionized my career but also the lives of countless IT professionals and companies I've worked with.

Starting with no clients and zero reputation in recruitment, I embarked on a challenging yet thrilling path.

I recall those early days, recruiting candidates for high-tech firms across the US, UK, Europe, Dubai, and even for EU government agencies. The journey wasn't easy, but the potential was enormous.

Fast forward to today, my team and I have successfully recruited over 90 IT candidates in the last two years for clients in the US, UK, EU, and Dubai.

Some clients pay up to 25,000 USD for a successfully hired candidate! That’s the kind of value and demand tech recruiters can command in today’s market.

I know, it's really crazy!

In 2020, I took a step further to demystify the IT world for my HR peers. I began creating mind maps, which, to my delight, have now been downloaded and purchased over 10,000 times!

This experience was the foundation for our flagship program - the FREELANCE Tech Recruiter Program. It’s not just another course; it's a culmination of years of real-world experience, challenges, and triumphs.

It’s a program designed to make you a CONFIDENT FREELANCE TECH RECRUITER, one who understands the IT industry inside out and can become a true business partner to hiring managers and clients.

So, why am I telling you all this? Because I firmly believe that with the right guidance and knowledge, you can transform your career, too.

The FREELANCE Tech Recruiter Program isn't just about learning to recruit; it's about empowering yourself with a skill set that’s in high demand, offering you a world of opportunities, freedom, and, yes, lucrative financial rewards.

Are you ready to embark on this transformative journey with me?

Let’s dive into how the FREELANCE Tech Recruiter Program can be your gateway to success in the fascinating world of IT recruiting.

The Simple "Secret Formula" To Earning $20,000+ In Commissions For Hired Candidates

Over the last 5 years, I’ve learned a lot about what it takes to build a recruiting business in the Tech industry from scratch, find qualified candidates consistently, and monetize consistently.

I’ve spent thousands of hours working in the IT industry with IT pro's since 2005.

And I spent over $50,000 in job promotions to try and find the secret sauce that helps attract the right IT professionals. And while I’ve learned a hell of a lot of things (more on that later), the biggest thing I’ve learned is this:

There’s no secret to building a thriving recruiting career in Tech.

It’s just a matter of:

  • Understanding the IT world, IT roles, and IT jargon.
  • Building a talent pool of IT candidates in the right niches.
  • Connecting with businesses that are looking for specific IT talent.

That’s all it takes.

I guarantee that if you follow this 3-part formula, your life will change in ways you can’t imagine.

You’ll learn incredibly useful skills, you’ll make friends with amazing people from all over the world and you’ll start to generate REAL INCOME. You might even get messages from candidates about how you have changed their lives 😳

Why do so few recruiters actually succeed? It's one thing: The talent pool.

Becoming a successful Freelance Tech Recruiter is hard because it requires several skills and access to candidates. And unless you work for an agency, you don't have it.

This is where the FREELANCE Tech Recruiter Program steps in.

We bridge this gap by not only teaching you the essential skills needed for tech recruiting but also by providing you with strategies to tap into the rich, yet often elusive, IT talent pool.

Our program is designed to equip you with both the knowledge and the tools to identify, engage, and recruit top IT talent effectively.

We understand that the real challenge isn’t just finding candidates, it’s finding the right candidates – those who are the perfect fit for your clients’ specific needs.

With our comprehensive training, you'll learn how to navigate the complexities of the IT sector, understand the nuances of various roles, and master the art of making connections that lead to successful placements.

By the end of our course, you won’t just be a recruiter; you'll be an invaluable asset to both candidates and companies alike.

We'll save you countless hours because IT recruiting can be really hard!

Unclear job requirements

When you're new to IT recruiting, figuring out what a job really needs can be tough. Job ads often use technical terms and ask for a lot of different skills. It's hard to match these with the right candidate if you're not yet familiar with IT roles.

chess-figures

Talent sourcing

Finding the right people for IT jobs is like looking for a hidden treasure. For beginners, it's hard to know where to start or how to find people who are not just skilled but also interested in new job opportunities.

a-b-c

Talent matching

Matching a person to the right IT job is more than just looking at their skills. It's about understanding their career goals, personality, and how well they'll fit into a team. This is really hard if you're new and don't know much about different IT roles and company cultures.

Building the right talent pool

Creating a pool of potential candidates takes time and know-how. New recruiters often struggle to build this network. You need to keep in touch with a lot of people and know who might be right for different kinds of jobs. It's about more than just collecting resumes; it's about building relationships and understanding each candidate's unique skills and career aspirations.

Organizing interviews

Setting up interviews isn't just about scheduling. It's about preparing both the candidate and the company, and making sure they're a good match. This can be overwhelming if you're new and don't know what each side is looking for.

Staying up-to-date

The IT world changes fast. New technologies and job roles pop up all the time. Keeping up with these changes is hard, especially if you're just starting out in IT recruiting and don’t have a solid background in tech.

And even if you decide to tackle IT recruiting on your own, you'll have to balance this steep learning curve with your current job, personal life, and health, all while trying to avoid burnout.

It's not that you can't learn IT recruiting by yourself. I did, but it took me several years and a significant investment in time and money – over $50,000 in recruiting job Ads, training, and learning from industry experts.

Yes, information is abundant, from videos to online articles, teaching you the nuances of IT recruiting.

But wading through this sea of content could take you hundreds or even thousands of hours – hours spent learning, and even more hours applying these concepts.

And after all that, there's still a chance you might not get it right, leading to lost opportunities and no tangible results.

That's the hard path. But it doesn't have to be your path!

Just look at what Zoi wrote on Trustpilot:

"It's great if you're a green recruiter just learning the Technology stack. If you have a couple years of experience and work in the United States, you can see other ways job post are written, but from a more worldly point of view. You will be more interested in the Boolean searches and the Tech languages and Frameworks."

"The amount of support from Michal and his team is unparalleled. They don't immediately assume technical knowledge but are able to adjust their conversation with you as you share your level of knowledge with them. I didn't feel talked down to and was given the opportunity to share what I knew/had learned throughout the course."

5-star TrustPilot Rating

87% of recruiters gave our course a 5-star rating on Trustpilot. Why? Because it's designed specifically for tech recruiters to learn about tech

How much does this cost?

For context, you could pay $20,000 for a private business consulting workshop on-site with my colleagues.

You could also pay $7,995 to sign up for our online Agency Accelerator Program.

The other way to put our prices into context is to think of it as an investment in your career and recruiting business. Investing some money in saving time and increasing your odds of success seems like a no-brainer. Especially given (a) how much your life can change, and (b) how much money you stand to make if your recruitment practice takes off 🤷

Anyway, enough spiel - here's the price.

Frequently Asked Questions...

Do I need to have previous experience with IT or HR/recruiting?

No, the Starter program is for people who have zero experience in either the IT industry, recruiting, or both.

Our graduates include a former English teacher, a mother on maternity leave, or a model who was looking for a part-time job.

Do I get access to the certification course?

Yes, the Complete Tech Recruiter Certification Course plays a key part in our programs (Starter, Booster, and Bounty Hunter) and is included in this membership, of course.

I already have experience with recruiting, is this course for me?

Yes, you can skip the Starter Program and start with the Booster or Bounty Hunter instead. Both are included in this membership.

Once you join, you'll take a self-assessment quiz, book an onboarding call, and we'll advise on the most appropriate learning path for you.

With the Booster Program, you'd increase productivity and work towards getting promoted internally.

With the Bounty Hunter Program, you'd start working as a freelance consultant in a commission-only network or onboard your clients.

Can I just purchase the self-study course?

We don't sell the course separately to individuals at this point. All our courses are included in this Academy membership, together with LIVE calls and 1-on-1 individual mentoring calls.

If you run an agency and need several licenses for your colleagues, please reach out via email at help@techrecruitmentsupport.com and we'll discuss your needs. 

How much time do I need for this course?

The self-study course is self-paced so you can spend as much time as you can squeeze in your busy week. It takes about 40 hours to complete the Complete Tech Recruiter Certificate Course.

Then, you can continue with our advanced courses and book 1-on-1 individual mentoring sessions.

You can also join LIVE sessions at your convenience:

  • On Tuesday at 4 PM CET (different topics)
  • Q&A session on Tuesday at 5 PM CET
  • Sourcing webinar on Thursday at 5 PM CET

CET = Central European Time (Prague, Czech Republic)

Do I have to join the LIVE sessions?

No, the LIVE sessions are optional. If you are busy, you can watch replays or skip the live sessions for now and join them in 3 or 6 months when you have more time.

Can I meet with someone from your team to discuss the course?

Yes, you can book an individual call with our customer success manager. Just scroll on this page and you will find a scheduler to choose a time slot that works for you.

You can also send us an email at help@techrecruitmentsupport.com and we'll reach out to book the call.

Do I get access to both Starter and Booster programs?

Yes, with this annual Academy membership, you'll get access to Starter, Booster, and Bounty Hunter programs so you can start with no experience and work for international high-tech companies within a few months as a recruitment consultant.

Can I take a certification exam with this membership or do I need to purchase it separately?

It is included in this membership. As soon as you complete modules 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, you can take the certification exam.

Can you also help me when I start applying for jobs?

Yes, our dedicated course How To Get a Job would teach you how to use your certificate and projects to increase your credibility. You will also book an individual career coaching call with Michal Juhas to review if you are ready for interviews.

Can I get an invoice?

Yes, of course, you can enter your company details during the checkout. You will receive an invoice via email and can forward it to your accountant or manager.

Can I pay with a bank transfer, PayPal, or Revolut?

Yes, we support alternative payment options such as PayPal or Revolut. You can also pay with a bank transfer. Just send an email to our support at help@techrecruitmentsupport.com and we'll send you detailed payment instructions.

Can I pay in installments?
