Seeking Career Advice: Can I Transition from HR Compliance to a Generalist Role?

I'm an HR professional with 3 years of experience in an MNC company, working as an HR compliance executive. I have experience dealing with CLRA acts, meeting factory inspectors, maintaining statutory compliances at client sites, and all related activities. I do not have experience in recruitment and HR generalist activities. My qualification is an MBA in HR.

Kindly advise me on what kind of HR profile would suit me as I am looking for a job change. Do I have opportunities in HR generalist roles because there are very limited openings in HR compliance? Seniors, please share your valuable advice.

Thanks in advance!

I would suggest you focus on HR compliance or legislation only, as you have good experience in that area. If you are interested in transitioning to recruitment or a generalist profile, you can start by working with a reputable consultancy in a major city to strengthen your fundamentals. Once you have done that, you can showcase your skills and strengths. I hope this advice is helpful to you.

Hi Shipra Sharma,

Thank you for your valuable input. What are all the qualities to become an HR generalist? If I get into consultancy, I may gain very important experience in recruitment. How long can I work there to gain recruitment experience? Moreover, in consultancy, will they consider me as a fresher (on a salary basis to pay me a fresher's salary) or as an experienced one.
