Human Resources Professional Certificate: Recruiting & Staffing

Learn the most effective and efficient techniques in attracting successful employees to your organization. Explore various sources for recruitment – from the Internet to outplacement agencies – and use mock interviews to examine the process of ensuring the candidate who is the “best fit” for the position. Compliance with employment laws, an integral part of evaluating the entire recruitment and selection process, is included.

The certificate is designed for professionals entering the HR field, entry- to mid-level managers, small business owners or anyone needing to brush up on their HR skills.  New supervisors or managers looking to gain knowledge might benefit too.

“I am now working in the Human Resource Department as the HR Associate.  In this role, I assist the department in onboarding and recruitment, training, benefits administration, and day to day operations.  It was a temp to hire position, and I started in June. As of next week, I will be an official employee! I am really enjoying it, and credit my studies at CCSU in helping me land this job; the courses were informative without being overwhelming, and the professors truly cared about students’ understanding and success. I keep in touch with many of the professors and my classmates!”  Andrea M.
