Hello, I am currently working in a private company as an HR executive. I want to change my job in the same domain because there is no career growth and not much work to do in the HR department. I recently attended an interview for a small IT company. The question asked by the interviewer was, "You aren't from an IT background nor do you hold an engineering degree, so how will you interview candidates here? How are you going to learn the basic interview skills as an IT Recruiter?"
I have completed my B.Com and have 2 years of experience in the HR domain. I want to know what should be my reply. Please share your opinion. It would be very helpful for my upcoming interviews.

Whenever I attend any interview, the common question I come across is "Where do you see yourself in the next 4-5 years?"

Certainly, a basic knowledge of what capabilities an IT business requires its people to possess will give a distinct edge to an HR recruiter. For that, you need to understand the business of the company and its bearing on HR, including what end goals are expected by the bosses.
While technical knowledge and skills will have to be assessed by the domain expert, HR can screen the candidate on the basic matching by understanding the job role/description and its fit with the candidates' general fitment into the team, salary levels, and work culture.
As a non-technical HR professional, you can hone your skills with each recruitment experience and gain insights and maturity, provided you display enthusiasm to learn the ropes.
