Short.
Each lesson takes 2–7 minutes. Courses vary in size, but even our longest – 360° Fundamentals / Onboarding – contains around 2 hours of total video content.
Because nobody needs another three-day training marathon.
60 days from the start of their course.
That's plenty of time to work through the content, discuss it with their manager, revisit lessons and put the ideas into practice.
And they can come back to individual lessons whenever they need a refresher.
Yes.
You can nominate a future start date for each enrolment, so you can line Zinger up with your onboarding or development schedule.
Users email address is their unique login.
Passwords are created during enrolment, with a simple reset option if someone inevitably forgets theirs.
Zinger isn't designed to be clicked through and forgotten.
Quizzes are built into the courses to check that users have absorbed the content, and managers receive progress updates as their team works through the programme.
Learning is still opt-in - Zinger is about lighting a fire in recruiters, not under them.
Watch the lesson. Complete the quiz. Move on.
Video lessons must be watched from start to finish before they can be marked complete. Quizzes require 100% accuracy to progress.
So, yes – you actually have to learn the stuff.
Marcus does. Sort of.
The Zinger lessons are delivered using a digital avatar of Marcus Lynch, the person behind the playbook.
It's a deliberate choice. The content comes from Marcus's experience building recruitment teams, developing billers and running a $150m+ recruitment business – so we figured we might as well put his face to it.
The avatar simply makes it possible to turn that experience into dozens of short, consistent lessons that can be delivered at scale.
No flying trainers around the country. No trying to find a free room. No Marcus having to say the same thing for the 4,000th time.
Absolutely.
Zinger provides the core recruitment playbook – broad enough to work across different agencies, markets and cultures.
But every agency has its own language, market, expectations and way of working.
We can work with you to layer tailored coaching, content or workshops over the Zinger foundations to address your specific needs.
No. And we don't pretend it is.
Zinger is designed to handle the core capability layer of recruitment development.
Rookies learn the fundamentals.
Good performers sharpen specific skills.
Managers get practical frameworks to coach against.
Owners and leaders get a more consistent development system.
Then add role-specific coaching, advanced development and live workshops where they're needed.
Zinger doesn't replace good managers. It makes them better equipped to develop people.
Zinger isn't everything.
It doesn't need to be.
It's the high-impact, repeatable core that most recruitment teams need – delivered through short-form online learning and reinforced through practical workshops and coaching.
Less training theatre. More capability.
