Hi Divya,
This is a major fear faced by freshers... whether they would be labelled as "recruiters" if they selected recruitment to start off their career.
If we study in detail the other developmental activities like OB, T&D, Capability Enhancement... the main focus is understading human behaviour. And I tell you, the best way to understand human behaviour is interacting with humans... and there is nothing better than Recruitment.
I will put down the following advantages of having recruitments in the start of your career:
1. Understanding the various profiles in the organization/industry.
2. Understanding human behaviour/aspirations/thought process.
3. Getting to know first hand why people change jobs, what keeps them to stick to jobs, what makes them motivated, what encourages them, what forces them to change careerline, etc.
Once a person spends a minimum of 1 year in hardcore recruitments, I am sure he/she would be a perfect person to handle other assignments like T&D, Employee Involvement, Capability Enhancement, etc.
So.. please do not underestimate recruitments. I would say it is the building block of HRM.
Regards,
Ajay
