Hi,
Students usually kick off with recruitment or talent acquisition profiles as these are the most common jobs in the market for freshers with low to medium salary packages. Also, there are numerous recruitment agencies willing to hire young students.
However, ask yourself this question first:
1. Are you good at convincing people?
2. Do you really want to spend the whole day hiring?
3. Do you find recruiting people for new jobs really interesting?
If you choose to start off with a generalist role, jobs are few, but you will learn recruitment, training, admin work. Basically, you will soon be trained to become an all-rounder in this profile as you are multitasking at different tasks at hand.
You need to consider your level of interest, not just what the market has to offer. Do what you love the most. Probably, in your internship, you must have had experience with recruitment handling. Did you enjoy that?
Wish you all the best.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
Thank you so much for your valuable information. During my internship, I worked as a recruiter, and it was quite interesting and a challenging task to complete. I was also involved in other activities such as administration and payroll work.
I am also interested in learning about the scope of HR analytics. If you could provide me with this information, it would be very useful for me.

Hi,
You need to understand that both recruitment and generalist profiles are demanding in their respective fields. There are various recruitment consultancies that train freshers on calling skills, candidate interactions, closing profiles within TAT, dealing with client portfolios, etc. However, there might be instances where few candidates would not turn up for the interview. In such cases, you would need to take the blame for it, but if you manage to close the profile, then the incentive schemes designed for you would be awesome.
On the other hand, the generalist role prepares you to manage different fields of HR. You would need to improve on time management, people skills, data reporting, which would mean hands-on skills required in Excel/Word/PPT.
HR Analytics has good scope, but it is a more senior profile. You would be expected to suggest better HR processes/policies, have an understanding of the business requirements within the company and employee goals. You need to be hands-on with data management, predictive analytics, tools used for data analytics, an expert in reports and MIS. Management will not wait for you to settle down; they would expect you to deliver from day one since the role calls for excellent knowledge in interpreting data to choose the correct course of action, maximizing efficiency in job roles, hands-on in metrics/Excel/HRIS/dashboards/scorecards/analytics tools, etc.
