I'm trying to come up with ways to grow in my role as a recruiter (2 1/2 years). I've considered a SHRM certification, but want to make sure it's worth my time, money and effort. I doubt my company would pay for it, but I may ask. I'm hoping it would allow me to be a part of HR with perhaps a little more authority. (Or w/ a different role at another co.) Is there anything else I can do to move forward from where I'm at? I'm feeling a little stuck and wanting more.

Definitely ask if your company will pay for the SHRM. If they don't it may still be worth it. I took it a few ago and although I didn't move into an HR role, I found the content extremely helpful, especially as it relates to understanding HR compliance.

Something you may also want to consider from a career advancement perspective is joining your local SHRM chapter or any local professional groups for recruiters. I sit on the board of a recruiter training group and have gained a ton both through my learnings but also in opportunities with my employer as they see value in this type of work.

One last thought - all education has value. You can easily grow in your understanding of our work through free online trainings, webinars and of course, paid training or conferences. I set aside a bit of my income every year to pay for training courses and events and I've never once regretted it.

Thank you, that's good advice and information. I have attended some webinars and free courses and they were somewhat helpful.
