If you are serious about making a career in HR, I am of the view that the recruiter's job does not offer you anything in terms of skills and knowledge required for core HR. If you want to continue and specialize in recruitment, then you can go ahead. It all depends on how you want to take your career ahead.

Dear friend,
I understand from your message that it is HR-oriented. Please appreciate that working in recruitment with a corporate HR department is different from working with a placement consultancy agency. Your career prospects may be impacted if you decide to transition from a placement consultancy to an industry HR role later on. By sticking solely to recruitment, you are limiting your exposure in the vast field of HR which encompasses various aspects. HR is like an ocean, and if you only focus on recruitment, you will miss out on a significant portion of it.
Blessings,

Recruitment job in a consultancy firm does offer you experience to interact with HR departments of your clients but is no substitute for a HR generalist role in corporate HR. The reason you quit the corporate HR environment is best known to you, but I wouldn't call it a thoughtful gesture.
Never mind, now focus on your current job, learn all aspects of recruitment for a couple of years, establish contacts, and plan to switch back to the corporate sector.
Any job, in my opinion, can contribute to your profile for career growth in the HR domain provided you take it seriously. It may be wrong to say that experience in an HR consultancy firm will not be useful in the long run. You must learn what 'Talent Search' means in totality and how a recruitment consultancy firm adds value to this process. If your clients are able to find the type of people they need through your consultancy, you would have acquired some competency in this area. Therefore, focus on your job and avoid restlessness caused by this state of confusion.
Remember, Talent Search is the starting point of Talent Management. And today, you are part of that Talent Search process, not just for one but multiple organizations. Good luck and do well!

I agree with the last post. Anyhow, I think that an expert experience is always very important. So, I not have that experience for a while to kown deep how to recruit without focus the important that is to get experience in the other areas. Good luck and donīt forget that is very important to study and being up to date.
