Does Experience in Recruitment Consultancy Really Count in the HR Field?

Hi,

I was working in the topmost consultancy. I just want to know, is consultancy experience countable in the HR field?

Hey, me too working currently in a recruiting firm, and I definitely think that it is counted in the HR field. After all, you are learning how to handle people, right? And don't worry, it will be counted... I made sure of that from my boss...

Hi dear,

Recruitment consultancy experience is definitely counted in HR because it is the foundation of HR. Any organization or MNC you would like to work for will not offer you a generalist profile at the initial stage since they require experienced individuals for that role. Working for a consultancy allows you to enhance your skills with various recruitment techniques. This experience will provide you with good and sufficient knowledge for your job in any MNC. As you progress, you can explore other areas within HR while focusing on recruitment. It is essential to master one area of HR to establish yourself. If you need further assistance, feel free to ask.

Cheers,
Mukta

Consultancy Experience in HR

It depends on the type of profile you handle in consultancy. If you are in recruitment, then only sales-driven organizations (insurance/stockbroking/real estate) will prefer to hire you at the entry level if you have experience in mass recruitment. Other organizations tend to recruit candidates from college campuses. At the middle level, they usually prefer candidates from within their industry.

If you are involved in generalist activities, you may not receive calls from companies. Typically, for generalist roles at the entry level, companies prefer to hire candidates from college campuses. At the middle level, they prefer candidates with industry experience.

This is a common trend in the industry, but there are always exceptions. You might receive a call from a good company, so don't be upset. Stay confident. Regards.
