Hello Everyone!!
I am an MBA (HR). I passed out in 2008 from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar and then met with an accident. As a result i could not join the job i was selected for. It was a campus placement in a towel manufacturing plant and I was getting a package of Rs. 6.6 lac per annum.
In 2009 I did B.Ed because of no good job opportunity. Now I have completed my B.Ed and am again searching for a job in HR domain.
Will the job of a recruiter be lucrative enough? I am interested in Organizational behavior and want to work in a good company preferably an MNC.
Please advise me and help me out regarding how to go about it.

Human resources generalist should have knowledge about all the tasks related to human resources in an organization so that he/she need not depend on any type of employees required for the job.
There is no one is the organization on whom the human resources generalist can delegate his duty, therefore he or she should be capable of multi-tasking. A human resources generalist should have quick learning ability as every business has specific requirements that need to be met.
Human resources generalist need to understand the running of the business and the way to communicate with everyone at any level in the organization. This is very important to carry on with the tasks of human resources generalist.
Although the limitation of requirement of human resources generalist in smaller companies limit the job prospects. Moreover, there may not be good scope for promotion to management at senior management positions and human resources department due to the limited size of business. But this is the best way to gain some experience in the field of human resources.
Once you gain some experience, you can easily step up the ladder and join some larger corporation for better management positions. In cases where you need to have some knowledge and experience to apply for a job, your this past experience of being an assistant or coordinator would be very beneficial for you. They would consider you as an individual who is experienced and is seeking for job change to work on more advanced platform and is ready to take more responsibilities
One very important trend in the recent times has been the growth of human resource outsourcing. HR outsourcing is the outsourcing of peripheral but necessary administrative tasks such as payroll, benefits, education/training, recruiting personnel, administration, to realize economies of scale and achieve standardization of services.
Rapidly changing market dynamics and global competitive pressures have caused organizations to spend more time focusing on their core business. Organizations are fast realizing that they can't be all things to all people. So companies now, be it a software company, a service provider or a manufacturing firm, decide what they are good at and outsource everything else, i.e., focus on their core competency, and let someone else do the rest in a more efficient and cost-effective manner.
As a result, human resources outsourcing is becoming increasingly prevalent. The number of companies outsourcing HR activities continues to rise, and the scope of outsourced HR activities continues to expand. HR outsourcing can happen in HR functions, like payroll administration (producing checks, handling taxes, dealing with sick-time and vacations), employee benefits (Health, Medical, Life insurance, Cafeteria, etc), human resource management (hiring and firing, background interviews, exit interviews and wage reviews), risk management, etc. Outsourcing has become a common response to manage people and technology resources strategically, enhance services, and manage costs more effectively.
Outsourcing noncore activities allows HR professionals to move away from routine administration to a more strategic role. The organization can focus on higher value-added activities while the outsourcing provider takes care of the day-to-day administration. Critical internal resources, such as technology and talent, can be devoted to company's core business. Outsourcing reduces the need for large capital expenditures in noncore functions. Thus, outsourcing becomes a strategy for reducing the capital intensity of the business. This strategy has gained popularity as companies aim to become more nimble and gain the speed and flexibility necessary to compete in today's business environment. A growing number of executives understand the benefits it can bring in terms of not only cost savings, but also heightened strategic focus. Many recognize outsourcing relationships as long-term partnerships created to further the strategic goals of the organization.
The HR outsourcing business opportunity is large and India is likely to garner a larger and larger piece of this pie in the future. India, with its intrinsic advantages such as low cost, ready pool of English speaking manpower and geographic positioning, is emerging as a viable destination for HR outsourcing companies to set up their businesses.
