I am always thinking about next steps in my career and wondering what someone in a TA operations role would do next. Not looking to leave my current role but looking to enhance my skills so that develop and eventually find the next step. I like being in operations right now but I find myself wondering if I have pigeonhole myself into something very niche. Any suggestions will be very appreciated.

People Ops roles are pretty popular because of familiarity between Recruiting and HR Ops.

If you are looking to add skills though:
- Learn SQL, Python, and R to be better at data
- Learn a coding language like JavaScript, Go to do tool implementations and integrations
- Learn more strategic skills to be a better thought and execution partner to leadership

TA Ops can mean so many things from onboarding, coordination, TA Tech, etc. what all are you doing? Do you like technology?

TA Ops can combine an operations and almost program manager scope. I'm responsible for documenting and even coming up with our Best Practice and processes, ensuring the recruiting team is enabled, partnering with other parts of the business (like People / HR Ops) where TA processes touch other processes.

Then there's a whole technical side which is being the bridge between the users and the very technical systems team who look after integrations and configurations. You need to be able to translate back and forth between the two.

Understanding the KPIs and your data and being able to produce reports is an important skill. In a small company that might mean just being able to use excel to create pivot tables and graphs (that's where I started), to later being able to leverage another tool and raw data from your ATS via the API to create eloborate dashboards and come up with creative ways to use data to create efficiency.

You need some change management skills, the curiosity to investigate issues and find creative solutions and a lot of patience when you've explained to a recruiter for the fifth time why it's so important they do that one step in the ATS so that it doesn't mess up your data!

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
