Hi y’all! I have been interested in HR and Recruitment since I finished graduating with my BA in Sociology. I have experience in different industries (Law Enforcement, Small Business Owner, and most recently Commercial Real Estate). Wondering how I can best pivot into the Recruitment space and find my dream job while helping others do the same. Any opportunities for no formal experience but transferable skills ?

Recommend looking for Recruiting Coordinator roles! It’s a great way to get your foot in the door, tons of transferable skills from any background is very applicable to the role and you can easily “pay your dues” >6 months before taking a next step. Good luck!

Oh okay! Thank you so much. I’ll look into it more.

I would suggest targeting recruiting agencies . Low experience required and then after a year or two transition to corporate recruiting

I have been working with a company for about 6 years as a Recruiter but I don’t feel I’m gaining the best recruiting experience due to so many limitations our company has. I’ve had to teach myself Boolean searching to be more active in recruiting. I have not had the luxury of someone to truly mentor me into a Recruiter so I’m trying to find any way I can learn and be more employable. Any advice? I’ve obtained my SHRM-CP, CIR and am in the process of a the PRC. What else can I utilize or do? Thx!
