Hi Seniors, it's really nice to be connected with all my HR friends. I am currently in the midst of a job hunt. I was with Accenture for 2 years in collections and quit since I got admission for a regular MBA. After completing my MBA in HR, I worked with a leading MNC as an HR coordinator for close to 1.4 years. Since it was a contract role, I was paid very little, and I quit due to medical reasons a few months back.
Now that I am completely recovered, I have started my job hunt. However, I mostly get job offers for a recruiter position. I am really not interested in recruitment and am looking for a challenging role in core HR activities.
I am very confident in my qualifications and experience in an MNC that I can take up and complete any task. However, I don't receive many calls for a generalist role in HR.
Seeking Advice for Career Transition
Can anyone help me understand how I can get into the role I want? Can I take up the role as a recruiter and start learning things, even though my area of interest lies in a generalist role?
It has been almost 2 months now, and I am really confused about what to do next.
I am very clear that the role is important, followed by my salary, and then the company.
Seniors, I need your suggestions.

Greetings, I think currently you should join as HR-Recruiter & then go for a search in your interested role. May be this is your starting point.

I think currently you should work as HR-Recruiter. Recruitment is the first basic stage in HR. After getting an experience you can move for your interested role.

I think you should start your job first, and after that, you can enhance your knowledge through your job. You can begin your job as a recruiter in a company. Try to avoid consultancy because, based on your desired profile, you need to learn things from your colleagues or seniors within a company.
Best of luck with your future.

Thank you all for your replies, but I see that most people, after getting into recruitment, find it difficult to move to other roles in HR. Or maybe they are not given the opportunity to explore other HR functions. This is the only reason why I am unable to make a decision.

As everyone has suggested, if you choose recruitment, you need to be stable in that department for at least a year and then look for a change. However, once you have experience in recruitment, companies will be more likely to hire you, preferably for recruitment. I suggest you wait until February and try your luck.
