Navigating HR Careers: Do Freshers Need to Start in Recruitment Consultancy?

Dear Seniors, I am an MBA (HR major & Marketing minor) graduate. I want to be part and parcel of the HR team in a reputed company. Please advise me on how I can get an appropriate job in HR.

My Main Questions:

- Is it mandatory to start a job with consultancy in HR as a recruiter for freshers (fresher as HR), or do companies hire HR freshers as well?
- I also want to know if my approximately 2 years of experience in the admin and risk-compliance (advisory) division are taken into account when I apply for HR jobs, or is this experience completely ignored and not considered?

Please also advise me on how I can start working as a Freelancer Recruiter and check the viability of these jobs, or how I can start working as a Freelancer Consultant in Recruitment.

Thank you all in advance for your advice and suggestions; it would be a great help for my career.

Regards,
SaggiSD

Starting a Career in HR

You can start with an HR Generalist profile in any company. If your main preference is recruitment in HR, then you should consider starting with a consultancy or placement agency. Some companies also hire HR freshers, but most of this type of recruitment is done directly from campus.
