3. Level 2 – Effective recruitment processes: Provide advanced training of approximately 60 hours for up to 35 participants, focusing on the effective implementation of recruitment procedures.

4. Methodology and evaluation: Incorporate interactive content, case studies, practical exercises, virtual seminars and initial and final evaluations to measure the knowledge acquired.

5. Certification and results: Issue certificates to participants who pass the academic requirements and prepare a final report with results, pass rates and recommendations for future editions.

The program will be developed entirely online, for approximately 30 weeks.
