Struggling to Shift from Recruitment to HR Generalist in IT? What Should I Learn?

Hi, I have almost 2 years of experience in Recruitment in consultancy, and it is becoming very difficult for me to transition to an IT Company as a Recruitment Executive. I am looking to shift to a Generalist role or explore other areas in HR such as HR shared services representative. What topics should I focus on to gain the necessary knowledge and skills to make this career transition successfully and secure a job in an IT Company?

As you already have experience in recruitment, it would be beneficial for you to expand your knowledge in Talent Acquisition, Employee Relationships, Engagement Activities, Training & Development, etc. This will add more value to your skills and enhance the scope for becoming a generalist.

I have completed my BTech and MBA in HR (2015 September pass out). After that, I joined a consultancy firm as an APAC Recruiter and worked for only 6 months (February-August 2016) due to some problems that led me to discontinue. Later, I was looking for a job as an HR generalist, involving all aspects of the HR field. However, I met with an accident, which made it challenging to secure a job for a year. Now, I am eager to restart my career in the field of MBA.

I am currently receiving offers for recruitment positions only, but I am seeking a comprehensive HR role. Should I pursue additional courses to enhance my career prospects? Your guidance and advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you; I look forward to hearing from you.
