Summer Academy ’26: Practical Online Training for Hiring Managers & Recruiters

Summer is often perceived as a quieter period for recruitment – it is time to invest in learning because it is one of the best times to strengthen the skills that determine whether your organisation hires successfully when business accelerates again.

While many companies focus on filling vacancies, far fewer invest in improving how hiring decisions are made. A structured hiring process doesn’t happen by accident. It requires hiring managers who can assess talent objectively, recruiters who can guide the process strategically, and collaboration between them.

That is exactly why I created the Summer Hiring Excellence Academy – a practical online training programme designed for hiring managers, recruiters, HR professionals, founders, and business leaders who want to improve hiring outcomes through structured, consistent decision-making.

Time: Every Thursday, starting from 16th of July, 5:00 PM CEST
Format: Live online workshop (90–120 minutes) with Q&A
Can’t attend live? No problem. A recording of every session will be available to all registered participants.

Why This Programme Is Different

This is not theoretical HR training. Every module is based on practical experience gained through international recruitment projects, executive hiring, Talent Acquisition leadership, recruitment process improvement, and hiring manager coaching across various industries and organisations.

Participants will leave with practical frameworks, real-life examples, templates, and techniques they can implement immediately within their own organisations.
