The first Popcorn Recruiters Academy was held in November 2020. We gathered students and recent graduates who were eager to build their careers in the area of recruitment. Popcorn Recruiters received more than 100 applications and, after carefully screening each and every candidate, 12 were selected to attend the academy.
The event lasted for two days and the participants got an opportunity to learn about full-cycle recruitment, conducting competency-based interviews, building Boolean strings, market intelligence, and launching a recruitment marketing campaign.
Shortly after the academy, we launched our very first (official) Popcorn Recruiters Internship program! We were thrilled when we received 40 applications from young, ambitious candidates looking to start their careers in recruitment. The choice was hard but what made us proud was to notice that the top 5 candidates all attended the Popcorn Recruiters Academy.
Meet Gorana, a Popcorn Recruiters Academy attendee who is now a trusted Talent Representative in our team! Here’s what she had to say about the entire journey.
“Popcorn Recruiters Academy not only changed my career (big deal in itself) but it also changed my life!
Having spent almost 10 years in education, I felt that much as I loved the essence of teaching, I knew I wouldn’t be able to progress and achieve my full potential if I stayed in the field. For a couple of months I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do next; I had some options in mind but in the end, I didn’t seem to like any of them enough to jump ships. Until…
I got invited to take part in Popcorn Recruiters Academy. Before that, I had almost no idea what recruitment was all about, literally, but those two days of Academy (and the greatest gals of Popcorn) had taught me enough to decide that recruitment should and will be my next calling
So, to all of you wandering in the dark searching for the right career, please, consider applying for this Academy because you never know, it might be just what you have been looking for!
PS. Still curious about how the Academy changed my #life? Well, thanks to Popcorn Recruiters (Academy), I got to move back to my hometown too! Apply now and see how the Academy changes YOU.
