Is the 'Confluence Certified Recruiter' Course Worth It? Seeking Insights and Experiences

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 does not cost a huge amount and is a 15-day course. However, is this a recognized course in the industry, and does it hold any weightage?

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

Thanks in advance and looking forward to your esteemed responses.

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 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 make a decision.

From my point of view, short-term courses in HR recruitment are money-saving as well as time-saving. They are also certified. I believe it will be worth it. CCR is based in Pune, and I have enrolled in that course. I will tell you more about it as soon as I finish this course.

Hi All,

I have around two years of experience in US IT Recruitment. I would like to know if this course is relevant to my career. I am looking to switch to internal recruitment and I am curious about how efficient it is. Please advise me.
