Tech literacy, not buzzwords
You’ll read a job description like an engineer, understand the stack, and have real conversations with technical candidates – not just match keywords.
meettal academy
Meettal Academy · Yerevan
Train recruiters and HR professionals who actually get the tech.
We started Meet(tal) because the recruiting field deserved more than résumé processors and keyword matchers. The Academy is where we train the people who’ll change it – tech-literate recruiters and business-minded HR professionals, built for the way modern companies actually hire.

Why Meettal Academy
We don’t train résumé processors. We train the people companies actually want to hire.
Every program is built on what we learn doing the job – recruiting engineers, AI specialists, and infrastructure talent for Armenia’s leading tech companies. No theory dumps. No fluff.
Business-minded HR
HR that drives revenue, retention, and culture – not the one that owns the snacks budget. You’ll learn to operate as a strategic partner to the CEO.
Cohort, not course
Small groups, working practitioners as instructors, real briefs from real companies. You leave with a network – and references that mean something.
Three programs · One philosophy
Pick the one that matches where you are.
Both programs run as cohorts. Classes are in Armenian; materials and terminology are in English because that’s the world you’ll be hiring in.

Curriculum at a glance
What we cover – and why every module is in there.
Every module exists because we’ve seen what breaks when it’s missing. The order matters too: foundation first, then practice, then leverage.
01 · Foundation
How tech companies are built
Engineering org structures, product cycles, and where recruiters actually plug in.
02 · Foundation
The stack, decoded
Front-end, back-end, infra, data, AI – what each role does and how to tell good from great.
03 · Practice
Sourcing that scales
Boolean, Git, GitHub, X-ray, niche communities. Quality first, volume second.
04 · Practice
The technical screen
Questions to ask, signals to listen for, and how to write a screen that managers trust.
05 · Practice
Closing & offers
Comp benchmarks, counter-offers, and how to keep candidates warm without burning trust.
06 · Leverage
Hiring manager partnership
Intake meetings, calibration loops, and the conversation that prevents 80% of bad hires.
07 · Leverage
People ops & retention
(HR Deep Dive only) Onboarding, performance, leveling, and the systems that compound.
08 · Leverage
The capstone
Real brief from a partner company. You source, screen, and present a shortlist. Real feedback, real outcomes.
What you walk away with
A portfolio, a network, and a job market that finally wants you.
Our alumni get interviews. Not because we promise placement, but because the work they do during the cohort speaks for itself.
- A capstone portfolio with real shortlists you sourced and presented
- References from working practitioners who taught you
- Direct intros into Meet(tal)’s partner network when you’re ready
- A cohort that becomes a career-long peer group
- A Meettal Academy certificate – and the work to back it up
Alumni
What graduates say – six months later.
“I came in as a generalist HR and left running tech hiring for a 30-person engineering team. The screens module alone paid for the whole program.”
“The capstone is the part nobody talks about. You leave with actual work product, not a PDF certificate. That’s what got me my next role.”
“I stopped feeling like I was guessing in conversations with engineers. The stack module changes how managers see you – instantly.”
FAQ
The questions we get most.
What language are classes in?
Classes are in Armenian. Materials, terminology, and exercises are in English – because that’s the language of tech hiring. We expect working English; we don’t require fluency.
Do I need a tech background?
No. The Tech Recruitment Course assumes zero engineering background. The HR Deep Dive Program assumes 2+ years in HR or recruitment, but not in tech specifically.
How much time per week?
Plan for 6–8 hours per week for the Tech Recruitment Course, and 10–12 hours per week for the HR Deep Dive Program. We’re cohort-based, so the time is real – but it’s structured to fit around a full-time job.
Do you place me in a job?
We don’t promise placement, because that’s not honest. What we do: alumni who do the work get introduced to partner companies in our network. The capstone is what makes that introduction credible.
Are payment plans available?
Yes. We offer monthly installments for both programs. Email us and we’ll walk you through it – no application required to ask.
What if I drop out?
We have a clear refund policy in the first two weeks of each program. After that, you can defer to the next cohort once. We’ll tell you the full policy before you commit – no surprises.
Ready when you are.
Pick a program, send the form, and someone from my team will get back to you within two working days. If you’re not sure which one fits – tell us where you are, and we’ll tell you straight.
