Testimonials
“My cofounder and I have spent combined 15 years in tech (various startups, Facebook, VC) and thought we knew a decent amount about recruiting. Turns out we were wrong.
After just the first day, we had full pages of notes and insights that made us wish we could spend an entire month in the program.
There is no BS in this course. Each day is rigorously structured with interactive case studies, play-by-play tactics, and actionable frameworks.
— Kevin Lee, Founder at immi
