Here is some feedback from the training sessions:

• Our team was raving about your program at the end of the day yesterday and how it compares to others. Congratulations on getting that up and running! 
• I have now taken the Level II PeopleSourcing training by Irina Shamaeva. EXCELLENT — I would highly recommend it. She has broken down the course into Level I and Level II. So that people can start where their skills are today and conceptually understand what people-sourcing entails. As a Level II participant I was able to review all of Level I and chose to attend the 4.5 hours of training at Level II. For advanced sourcers, Level II was just right offering technical explanations and behind the scenes solutions to utilizing your sourcing data more efficiently. In reviewing Level I, I would recommend that course to EVERY Recruiter using a computer. Fantastic training, Irina! Thank you for doing this for our industry and giving peoplesourcers a benchmark.

———–

Registration is now open for the second round of the Peoplesourcing Certification Program, created by Irina Shamaeva. It is a two-level learning initiative for sourcers, recruiters, salespeople, and business developers. The program offers lectures, video-recordings, slides, written materials, and tests. The attendees will learn everything necessary to quickly find the top qualified professional profiles on the Internet, for themselves and for clients.

Add to Dictionary!

 “Peoplesourcing” is finding information about professionals. We do Peoplesourcing so that (either we or our business partners) get on the phone – or, perhaps, on Skype or on Google-plus-hangout – with just the right people and  as soon as possible. Peoplesourcing will also make a cold call warm.

Benefits

This is the first program of its kind that:

• covers all the material that everyone searching for professionals on the Internet needs
• assures that the attendees practice and master the skills they learn
• teaches the principals and ideas of peoplesourcing along with the rules and templates
• is a proof of true hands-on people sourcing skills
• attendees will be referred for new opportunities

Those who are attending or have signed up for the second round  already know that it’s the real deal.

Information

• Press release
• The PPT presentation on the Certification from 3/20 is available at http://bit.ly/GJzUXS.

Note: For those who are exploring the Certification Program: The first 90-min class (the “Boolean Basics”) on this list of 6 separate pre-recorded classes is very similar the the first lecture out of 6 for the Certification.  Those who have taken two or more of those prerecorded classes get a discount for the certification program; see the pricing below.

Certification

We are offering the People Sourcing Certifications at two levels:

• CPS-1 - Irina Shamaeva Certified People Sourcer Level 1 (or Certified Peoplesourcing Specialist Level 1)
• CPS-2 - Irina Shamaeva Certified People Sourcer Level 2 (or Certified Peoplesourcing Specialist Level 2)

Level 1 is designed for all Recruiters, Sales, Business Development professionals, and for junior Sourcers. Level 2 is designed for all Sourcers and anybody who wants to take their People Sourcing skills to the next level.

The Program includes:

1. Three 90-minute webinars in one day for each level:

1. Internet Research. Search Engines: Syntax, operators, options; people search engines.
2. Social Networks: LinkedIn (in-depth); Facebook; Twitter; Google-Plus.
3. Productivity Tools: Parsing, Filtering, Browser Extensions, Verification; Use Cases (Peoplesourcing Scenarios)

For Level 1, I will cover the basics of People Sourcing, go slowly, and provide many details and examples; for the Level 2, I will briefly go through the basics and add more topics, concepts, tools, and tips. For each class I will provide materials and video-recordings. The detailed syllabus can be found here: Peoplesourcing Training Day

2. Three 90-minutes Q&A sessions; homework assignments; discussing example test questions.

3. One month of Q&A over email.

4. Test:

• 60 multiple-choice questions for Level 1
• 80 multiple-choice questions for Level 2.

Once you are ready to take the test, you will get the questions, and will need to complete the test within 48 hours. The Test needs to be taken within “the test week”. A second attempt is allowed.

Here’s the great part! If you sign up for a Certification Package, you are welcome to attend presentations at both levels and the materials are yours to keep. You can decide for which level you will take the test later in the program.
