Career Dilemma: HR Role Change After Merger
I recently joined a start-up company as an HR recruiter and generalist. However, after one month, our boss merged our start-up group with a well-known publisher in the market, stating it would be a big opportunity for all of us. Before joining the merged organization, I was assured that my work profile would remain the same. Unfortunately, I am now only working as a recruiter, as all HR generalist tasks are being handled by the operations and accounts teams since they did not have any HR in the past.
Seeking Advice: Next Steps in My Career
What should I do now? The recruitment process is not continuous; it only occurs when someone leaves or a new position is created. Should I look for a new job or continue with this role? I have already discussed this with my boss, and he advised me to continue working on the positions I am currently handling. Please suggest what I should do now.
