I’m preparing myself to move into an HR Director role next year and have seen where some senior listings prefer a PMP certification. It makes sense with how much project work we do, but is it really beneficial to have to move into leadership? Or are standard HR certs still the main thing recruiters look for?

Honestly I've never seen this as a requirement! I can understand it too, like you said there's often a ton of project work involved, but I feel like a PMP would be way less sought after than an HR or business-related designation. Every HR Director I've worked under has been an MBA and CPHR (I'm in Canada!), but I've never personally seen/worked with one with a PMP to be fair.
