Choosing Between Learning and Development or Recruitment for My HR Project: Which Topic Will Benefit My Future Career?

Hi, I am pursuing an MBA. I need help in selecting a topic for my project in HR from a consulting firm that is useful for me in the future. Please assist me in deciding between focusing on learning and development or recruitment, and suggest a highly beneficial topic for learning that I can utilize moving forward. Your guidance in choosing a good topic would be greatly appreciated.

I would suggest you consider Learning & Development. Firstly, because you will find every second or third person working on projects related to Recruitment. Secondly, in the area of Learning & Development, you will find huge potential and scope for improvement, as well as for upgrading your knowledge. Also, regarding recruitment, it is more of a background activity for project purposes, whereas concerning Learning & Development, it would involve a more interactive method with all the people involved.

If you have a technical background before joining your MBA, then you have a better option of pursuing both technical as well as behavioral/attitudinal training. If you are from a non-technical background, you will need to emphasize and put in a bit more effort to work on the technical part of the training. Initially, I have my doubts about whether somebody in the firm will solely help you with behavioral training exercises.

Hope my suggestions will help you choose the better option without confusing you.

Regards

Thank you so much for your valuable guidance. I am from a pharmacy background. For learning and development, I have to choose a topic for research. Can you suggest a good topic for my project?

Thank you.

Regards.

Just wanted to clarify which area you are focusing on for the project. You mentioned "Consulting Firm," but I will need more details about the consulting firm and the specific business they are in so that I can suggest an appropriate topic.

The consulting firm I mentioned specializes in HR recruiting and consulting in Learning and Development (L&D) for various companies. They provide training programs to employees based on the specific needs of the company. Therefore, they are more focused on L&D compared to recruiting.

Thank you

I would suggest you measure the effectiveness of soft skills training. You can implement a structured development action plan for each individual.
