AI Learning Paths for Recruiters: Agency, In-House, Sourcing and Team Leads

Four self paced routes through the AI Recruiting Academy, one for each kind of recruiting job: agency recruiters, in-house recruiters, sourcers and team leads who buy the tools. Each path orders the lessons, prompts and free tools for that desk, with a live req task at every stage.

How the paths work

The Academy has 41 lessons, and not every recruiter needs all of them in the same order. A learning path picks the lessons, prompts and free tools that matter most for your kind of desk and puts them in four stages. Each stage ends with one thing to try on a live req.

Tick each step as you finish it. Your ticks are saved in this browser only, and each path keeps its own ticks.

Pick the path that matches your desk

Path 1

Agency recruiter

Win clients, fill jobs fast and close offers. Business development, sourcing, outreach, submissions and offers, in the order an agency desk runs them.

Start the agency path

Path 2

In-house recruiter

For corporate talent acquisition. Intake, job ads, screening, interviews and scheduling, with the hiring law and candidate notice you need at each step.

Start the in-house path

Path 3

Sourcer

Find people faster and reach them without landing in spam. AI sourcing, Boolean and semantic search, contact data, rediscovery and outreach.

Start the sourcer path

Path 4

Team lead or tool buyer

For the person who chooses the tools and answers for the results. Agents, risk and law, buying decisions, ROI and rolling AI out to a team.

Start the team lead path

Not sure which path?

Use the task checker: tick the tasks that fill your week and it shows which ones AI can take on first. If most of your ticks are business development and submissions, take the agency path. If they are intake, screening and scheduling, take the in-house path. If most of your week is searching and messaging, take the sourcer path.

If you would rather work through everything, the first 8 weeks plan covers the whole Academy in order.

Quick answers

How long does a path take?

Most lessons take about ten minutes to read. The live req tasks take longer, because they are done on real work. Plan on one stage a week and do not skip the live req steps.

Can I take more than one path?

Yes. Many lessons appear in more than one path. Each path keeps its own ticks, so a lesson you finished in one path will need ticking again in another.

Where are my ticks saved?

Only in this browser on this device. Nothing is sent to Work Insiders, and clearing your browser data removes them.

Can a team use the paths together?

Yes. Give each person the path that matches their desk, and have the team lead take the team lead path. Meet for fifteen minutes at the end of each stage to share what worked on live reqs.
