Hi all,
I have been working as a recruiter for the last few months. Now, I am considering changing my job. Can you suggest if I should switch from being a recruiter to another HR field? Does my experience in consultancy count for that?

Dear Neeru,
Your working experience will be more beneficial if you want to make your career in the recruitment field. If this is your initial stage for making a career, then you can stay for some time. If you have any good opportunity, then according to me, you can switch over to a recruiter job. And if you don't have any opportunity, then there's no need to leave your present job before finding a new good opportunity.

Dear Neeru,
One more suggestion for you is that switching over to another organization very soon can raise questions about your future growth. Shivam is correct in saying that the experience you gain now will be valuable, so there is no need to consider it a waste of time.
Please consider these points as you make decisions about your career path.

Hi Shivam,
Thank you for your suggestion. However, I do not want to work in consultancy. Will my experience be accepted when applying for a job in an MNC? Which field offers better scope - HR generalist or Payroll management - compared to recruiting?

Dear Neeru,
Don't think that working as a recruiter is a waste of time. I do understand that you are demotivated because of untimely salary. Keep working here as it is going to add up to your experience because recruitment activity is there in any company you may join. But keep looking for better options as an HR Generalist or Recruiter and switch over as soon as you get a good job in hand. There are a lot of job openings in BPOs also for a recruiter.
All The Best.

Hi Neeru,
Somebody posted this on LinkedIn today; maybe it could be of some help to you:
Urgently Looking for MBA HR Freshers for HR Executive Position with Excellent Communication Skills. Interested candidates can send resumes to
.
If you want to change your role from a recruiter, apply in some small companies first because usually, in MNCs, they prefer experienced HR. Also, you will gain necessary knowledge, working culture, and other corporate ways by working with a small company. Then you can always switch to an MNC.
But if you want an MNC only, then you could join their Recruitment Cell only since your experience is in recruitment.
To your question - Which field is better - my answer would be - it depends on your interest area and core competency.

Neeru,
Don't get demotivated by your current job. Recruitment is also a part of HR jobs. But the only thing is that you should aim for a good company as a Recruiter. It should not only involve Recruitment or staffing activities. Rather, you should try a job in Consulting where you will get a chance to have practical experience in other aspects of HR besides recruitments.
Also, be very specific to the industry you are working in. Don't keep on changing industries. Nowadays, companies are even industry-specific when recruiting for any role.
With that experience, you can then pursue a job in a Hard-Core Corporate role. Just work smartly in a reputed Recruitment Consulting Company, and things will automatically fall into place. Good Luck!!!

Dear Neerja,
Almost 90% of HR professionals start their careers with a recruitment agency. If you are a smart recruiter, start building a beneficial network, deal with people professionally, and in a neat and crisp manner. Show them your expertise whenever you get the opportunity. Additionally, visit HR portals, read HR magazines, remain abreast of current affairs in HR, and beyond. By demonstrating that you are a true gem, HR managers will be eager to hire you.
These are not just words. Many of us began our careers with a one-room consultancy. Today, most of us have achieved respectable levels in our careers. Thanks to recruiting and networking!
Thank you.

Hi,
This is regarding your question about consultancy experience not counting in any company, even if you are at a higher package. If you have an opportunity in a small company, you can switch your profile from recruitment to a generalist profile if you want to grow your career in the generalist field with reputable companies. You might receive a lower package initially, but in the future, you will have access to better opportunities.

Hi Parul,
I have made a similar transition, moving from consultancy to a small company as an HR professional. Since joining, I have noticed that my role here seems to focus more on administrative tasks rather than other HR functions. For instance, when it comes to recruitment, I find myself primarily involved in shortlisting candidates and scheduling interviews, which are then conducted by their respective reporting persons. I feel that this limits my opportunities for learning and growth. Additionally, activities such as performance appraisals and compensation are handled solely by the top management.
I am seeking advice on how to navigate this situation. Any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Neeraj,
Human Resource Management is a vast term, and recruitment is just a part of it. As per your quotation, you are working with a consultancy in the field of recruitment, so your experience will count in recruitment only provided that it's on a direct recruitment basis and not on hardcore calling and meeting monthly targets. The recruitment field is a flourishing one, and nowadays, many MNCs also have profiles for recruitment only.
The job responsibility of an HR Generalist is more extensive than that of recruitment; it involves almost every part of HR, and for this, one needs to have some experience in the same field. Furthermore, in consultancy, there are different segments like staffing, recruitment, and payroll management (outsourcing), so you can apply in any of the options according to your interest area and career plans. Hopefully, it will be good for your aspiring HR generalist profile. All the best!

Hi! My name is Pali, and I am in HR. Currently, I am in the 4th semester of my MBA, and I have a recruiter profile in a consultancy. I am confused about joining because I have heard that consultancy experience doesn't count for much when switching to MNCs. So, should I go for consultancy or not? Please do help me. Thank you.
