Hello Shafivulla,

It depends on which direction you want to move in. If you want to progress your career into the recruitment line, it definitely helps. If you want to move into Core HR, it may not.

Dear Shafivulla, TS is correct, if you wants to make your career in recruitment then consultancy experience would help you a lot. — Regards, Hardik

Hello shafivulla, As a fresher, focus on whatever opening comes your way — unless you have options. And then you can learn the other areas along your way into the career. All the Best. Rgds, TS

Dear Mohammed,

Greetings!!!

As per my understanding, I feel you are asking if the consultancy experience is counted as an HR role. Yes, definitely it is. In fact, consultancy work experience is all about recruitment and business development, which is one of the various facets of HR. HR consultancies offer a good opportunity for a novice to practice an HR role. At the same time, we should understand that most companies seek people with HR experience from other companies and not consultancies. This is because the work we do in a consultancy is limited to staffing. However, it all depends on what kind of consultancy you are working with and what criteria the companies (where you seek opportunities) have in mind to recruit an HR person.

Hope this answers your question.

Best Regards,

It definitely counts if u want to move into recruitment space. Even otherwise, It helps to understand the other offshoots of the subject better.

Hi Shafi,

Don't worry, your experience does matter if you want to go through the recruitment process. Make sure that you will be involved in the direct recruitment procedure; then only it will add an advantage to your profile. It involves direct interaction with the candidates, conducting interviews, managing client relationships, salary negotiations, and more. Nowadays, many companies, including MNCs, have profiles related to recruitment exclusively.

If you wish to pursue a career in Core HR or HR generalist profiles, then you will have to move in a slightly different direction. In practical terms, for a core HR profile, you may have to struggle a bit. Remember, no job is inherently good or bad; it's up to you to decide which career path you want to choose. The option is yours.

Best of luck!

Good morning to all,

I have 1 year of experience in HR at a corporate office, but I am not handling recruitment at all. I want to learn recruitment. Should I join a good consultancy or join a corporate office at the trainee level to learn recruitment? Kindly help me.

With regards,
Shivani

Hi, Tajsateesh,

May I know, what is Core HR, and in which industry are core HR practices prevalent? I want to build my career in that field. Currently, I am doing my internship in a recruitment consultancy. Which path would be more preferable for me?
