For those considering signing up for the People Sourcing Certification Program: If you have answered “yes” to most of these questions, you might be able to get to the Level 2 in the Program. If you have answered “no” to most of them, you will probably answer “yes” to all – and will reach Level 1 if you sign up and complete the Program.

The great part is, you can decide which level test to take toward the end of the program; all participants get the material for both levels.
