Is the 'Confluence Certified Recruiter' Course Worth It? Seeking Insights on Its Industry Value and Recognition

Hello,

It seems certification courses in India are on the rise with several consultants initiating short-duration certification courses. Initially, it was the 'Certified Recruitment Analyst' that had made an impact on the industry, and recently, I came across the 'Confluence Certified Recruiter' (CCR) certification from a Pune-based consulting firm.

Can someone shed light on the benefits/disadvantages of the 'Confluence Certified Recruiter' (CCR) certification, considering that this certification also does not cost a huge amount and is a 15-day course? However, is this a recognized course in the industry, and does it carry any weight?

Also, has anyone undergone this course or would be able to guide on whether to pursue this certification or not?

Thanks in advance, and I am eagerly awaiting your esteemed responses.

Dear Professionals,

This is a very significant issue considering the fact that several professionals are curious to know more about these kinds of recruitment certifications. It would be great if seniors and other professionals in this large forum share their views, ideas, and thoughts on these certifications like the recently introduced CCR (Confluence Certified Recruiter).

Can someone shed some light on this?

Thanks,
Jigar

Dear Jigar,

This is a valid point that you have raised at the advent of such courses being offered across the globe. I am an HR Manager with 11 years of expertise in this field. I have been through the details of this course and really find it relevant. This course will really help the industry at large to create better recruitment professionals as these certifications make them specialized in recruitments.

Otherwise, whenever we conduct interviews for similar positions, the candidates are only aware of the theories in recruitments. Companies abroad do consider candidates with similar certifications, so why not in India? Hope this piece of information helps you to take a decision.
