Got questions? We’ve got answers
How do full-time and flexible formats differ?
In the full-time schedule, you study online from 9 AM to 6 PM, Monday to Friday. You’ll attend webinars, do practical tasks, and get help from mentors. There are group video calls four times a week in the afternoon. This intense schedule is not good if you want to work at the same time.
The flexible schedule lets you learn at your own pace. You decide when and how many hours to study. Mentors are available to help you, and you can chat and join video calls with classmates. Plus, you get lifetime access to the course, so you can learn whenever you want.
Can I fit studying at Mate with other activities?
In the flexible format, you can balance your studies with work or school. You set your own pace and receive support from our mentors throughout the course.
In the full-time format, it’s hard to combine studies with work or school due to its intensity. You’ll need to fully commit, studying from 9 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday.
Will I get a certificate upon completion?
Sure! After finishing our course, you'll get a certificate. More than 4,500 of our graduates use it to show their skills on LinkedIn and other social media. But our main focus is helping you find a job, and we'll do everything we can to support you in that.
How do I choose a profession?
Do I need math or tech background to enroll?
No, you don’t need math or a technical background to enroll. In fact, 9 out of 10 Mate students come from non-technical backgrounds. Our job is to teach you the skills you need and help you land a job in tech.
How do I enroll?
To enroll in the full-time course, start by filling out an application and taking a short logic test with 15 questions. If your English level is below Pre-intermediate, we'll ask you to make a short video about yourself. Once we check that your English is good enough for learning, you can move on with your enrollment and set up an interview with our manager.
For the flexible course, just send an application. Our manager will reach out to explain the course details and help you pick the best option. You’ll get access to the course right after you pay.
Are there any age limits for this course?
You can apply for the full-time course starting at age 16 with your parents' permission. For the flexible course, you can begin if you’re at least 15 years old.
The employment guarantee applies if you reach the legal working age in your country by the time you finish the course.
How are you so sure that l'll find a job?
For over 10 years, we’ve been helping people kickstart their tech careers — and we’ve gotten pretty good at it.
Our courses are built around what companies actually want, with tons of hands-on practice to get you job-ready. And you’re never on your own — we’ll guide you every step of the way, from polishing your resume to nailing your interviews.
The best part? 80% of our grads land a tech job just a few months after finishing the course.
How does money-back guarantee work?
For full-time graduates, you only start paying for your education after finding a tech job. The payment is 12% of your net salary for 36 months. If you don’t get a job, you pay nothing.
If you finish the flexible course, actively search for a job with our support for 16 weeks, and don't receive any offers, you can get a full refund.
What's the schedule on full-time?
The full-time schedule combines theory lessons, practice, and Q&A sessions:
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM — Algorithms 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM — Theory 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM — Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM — Practice 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM — Q&A session 2:30 PM - 5:00 PM — Practice 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM — Q&A session
What jobs can I get after finishing the course?
Our graduates usually become Recruiters, Talent Sourcers, Researchers, and Talent Acquisition Specialists.
What will I be able to do after completing the IT Recruiter courses?
If you have chosen the profession of IT Recruiter, the course from Mate will teach you how to manage the full recruitment cycle on your own. You will be able to create a candidate profile, write vacancies, search for specialists on LinkedIn, GitHub, Meetup and other platforms, conduct interviews, communicate with technical teams and accompany candidates.
Why is it better to learn IT recruiting with mentors, rather than on your own?
An experienced mentor will help you quickly immerse yourself in the realities of recruiting in IT. You will receive a clear plan, live examples from practice and feedback. And you will always know: you are not alone. The mentor will tell you how to avoid typical mistakes, communicate with technical specialists and candidates. And most importantly, it will save your time, because you will be able to start your career in 3 or 4 months.
How to master the IT-recruiter profession from scratch?
Mate's IT Recruiting course allows you to become a professional recruiter even if you have no technical skills. First, you'll learn the basics of IT and popular technical roles. During training, you will learn professional ethics, learn how to communicate with candidates, and work with such profile resources as GitHub, Stack Overflow, and Behance. Also, you, as a future IT recruiter, can use the course to improve your soft skills. Here it is easy to develop communications, learn how to manage stress, analyze people's behavior, etc.
What should a computer be for training in online IT recruiting courses?
To take the "Recruiting IT" course, you need a basic laptop or computer with 8 GB of RAM and a stable Internet connection. Make sure that the equipment supports a modern browser to work with the platform and CRM systems.
Advantages of the IT Recruiter profession
If you love people and want to work online, IT Recruiter courses will be the perfect start. They will give you the opportunity to work from anywhere in the world: at home, in the office or hybridly. Entry into the field is quite fast and does not require technical education — just an understanding of the market and an interest in technology. In addition to the fixed rate, many companies provide bonuses for each candidate. And after completing the "IT Recruiting" course, you can eventually grow to a team leader, HR BP or Talent Acquisition Partner.
Career prospects after IT recruiting courses
Recruiting is a field with career opportunities that are expanding every year. After completing the training, you will be able to start hiring junior developers - you will learn to understand technical requirements, read resumes and communicate with professionals. If you have interest and drive, you will grow quickly - and in a year you will be able to conduct complex vacancies, coordinate interviews and form the employer's HR brand. And then there are many options: Talent Acquisition, HR BP, People Partner, leader of the recruiting team or your own recruiting agency.
Who are IT Recruiter online courses suitable for?
If you like people (i.e. candidates) and live communication (i.e. interviews), the IT recruiting course is definitely for you. This is an ideal solution if you are communicative and understand people. If you have experience in HR, sales or customer service, your skills are already half adapted to this profession. And if you only dream of a career related to people, this is a great start. The courses will also be useful for those who are looking for a flexible schedule, the ability to work remotely and combine work with personal life.
How is the training on the IT Recruiter course?
Our "IT-recruiter" courses contain 80% practice and only 20% theoretical material, which allows you to immediately apply knowledge in practice and quickly acquire professional skills.
