Every recruiting team I've ever worked with has the same four problems. Everything is a priority, which means nothing is. There's no rhythm, so nothing gets iteratively better. Clients and recruiters don't agree on what success looks like. And the feedback loop is broken, so requisitions just stall in silence.

I didn't fix this with more hustle. I fixed it by stealing from Agile and Scrum, the methodologies software teams use to ship work in focused, time-boxed cycles, and rebuilding them for recruiting. That became Sprint Recruiting.

This bootcamp is the full methodology, in six modules.

## **What's Inside**

**Module 1: The Why of Sprint Recruiting**  
The four dysfunctions killing normal recruiting, and why Agile principles fix the actual problem instead of the symptom.

**Module 2: The Sprint**  
How to time-box your open roles into a focused two-week cycle, run a daily standup that isn't a waste of time, and build a meeting cadence your team and your clients will actually keep.

**Module 3: Prioritization**  
The point system that forces hiring managers to prioritize instead of calling everything urgent, plus the Impact/Effort Matrix for sorting quick wins from mission-critical roles.

**Module 4: WIP Limits & Feedback**  
Work-in-progress limits at every stage of your pipeline, and the 48-hour feedback rule, including the ICED escalation process, that keeps hiring managers from going silent.

**Module 5: Mindsets & Preparation**  
The shift recruiters and leaders both have to make: busy isn't the same as productive, and not every requisition needs to be worked today.

**Module 6: Reporting**  
The metrics that actually prove Sprint Recruiting is working, not just activity metrics that make you feel busy.

**Bonus: The Sprint Recruiting Metrics Dashboard**, a plug-and-play template so you're not building your reporting from scratch.

## **What You'll Walk Away With**

- A way to diagnose the four dysfunctions in your own team before they cost you more time-to-fill
- A point system that gets hiring managers to actually prioritize roles
- A two-week sprint rhythm with a meeting cadence that doesn't add more meetings to your week
- WIP limits and a feedback deadline that stop requisitions from stalling
- A metrics dashboard that shows whether it's working

## Stop managing chaos. Start running sprints.

The methodology that turned my own recruiting team around.

## **Who This Is For**

Recruiting leaders and TA teams drowning in open requisitions with no way to tell hiring managers no. If you've ever wished your clients would just tell you what actually matters this week, this is built for you.

## **Format**

Video lessons, slide decks, and workbooks for each module, plus the bonus metrics dashboard template (Excel, macro-enabled).

## **FAQ**

Is this the same content as the Sprint Recruiting book? → This bootcamp builds on the book's methodology with structured video lessons, workbooks, and the metrics template the book doesn't include.  
Do I need my clients or hiring managers to buy in for this to work? → Prioritization is a two-way system. Module 3 gives you the exact approach for getting hiring managers to engage with it.  
Is this for corporate TA teams or agency recruiters? → Either. The methodology doesn't care who signs your paycheck, it cares whether your requisition list has any prioritization at all.
