Mentally. It is a complete different mindset.
I’d say the opposite. I came into agency and then went to HR/ coor recruiting. A million times easier :) ( just my own experience )

Nope. Not at all.
If anything, you’re more invested in the business strategy.
Now, that said, recruiting is a sales function. It’s not an hr function. So your skills are highly transferable. You’re selling people to managers and businesses to people. I think this should be incentivized in some way. But that’s personal.
Do you mean agency to in house recruitment or straight hr?
Is it remote? I’m on the East Coast.
Yes. Its a completely different skillset. Having done it myself and having recruited other who have transitioned it's a STEEP learning curve. Typically agency recruiter have basic employment law knowledge with little experience of the complex stakeholder management. In an agency you are given the spec, you fill the role, with limited consideration of the wider implications. It's doable for sure but not easy in any way shape or form and is basically starting again from scratch in a new career
Hey, I made this exact transition over the course of the past 8-10 years, and it was DIFFICULT! Agency recruiter for engineering and manufacturing field for over 3 years, transitioned into corporate recruiting but that itself wasn't easy. Did it a couple years before it was cool for companies to accept agency recruiters. Worked a couple contracts not in the same industry before getting a break. After a perm recruiting job for a couple years in a similar technical industry, moved into an HRBP role in healthcare. Industry and team were not a good fit, but I did learn a lot about HR and realized the path I wanted to go really was what I wanted. Worked a couple short recruiting contracts for manufacturing companies while searching for a perm HR Generalist role, then landed my current job as a Generalist at a manufacturing company. I'm the sole HR rep at my site, and it has been a massive learning curve. But I have help and the backing of people who want me to succeed and grow. Btw, my recruiting experience was key to me getting my current job. Advice: join HR orgs if you haven't already, find a mentor, take courses, maybe get an HR cert (like I did, it can only help but it would be preferable for a company to pay for it), leverage your ability to transition your recruiting experience into HR, and network, network, network! Maybe you'll land the right job sooner than I did. Good luck!
Not at all! In fact, I think agency recruiters can bring something to HR that many who’ve never worked in an agency can’t. Agency recruitment is known as a “sales” role but I found when I went corporate, HR was so stiff around talent attraction and being creative, they were stiff around “selling” the company. I think internal HR/Recruiting still needs to hold an element of selling why someone wants to work there!
Agency > in house > apply for HR role.
It can be done relatively easily. But these will be lateral moves.
If you move up the ladder along the way, it’ll become more challenging.
Go in house. Many more doors to many more careers will open. Agency is cool, as is the money if you’re making a lot of placements, but in house is the way to go is my opinion.
I went from agency to in house recruiting, expressed interest in picking up more HR responsibilities, and slowly transitioned all the way over. Slow and steady :)
I did the same above and the base salary is typically an increase. Started as an HR Coordinator at 50K and moved up to 75K in 3 years. You will however miss the commission checks but not the stress and pressure those being.
I would say no, but it is different and the model will vary based on the size of the business.
Not at all! Best decision I’ve ever made going corporate
I switched from agency to in house recruitment and although some companies did look down on me/discredited my agency experience, plenty of companies were excited to talk & I had multiple offers. I put in the networking legwork & sent an insane amount of personalized messages, but it paid off. The right team is out there & they want you- I promise!
I think the biggest difference is the ways of working- you’ll be looking at a more partnership mindset vs this the role we’ll need to be filling.
Partnership then unlocks a lot more thinking like talent pipeline, org culture, data insights etc
If you are in tech recruitment not so difficult to shift. But challenges are totally different. Stakeholder and change management are two important skills good to have to succeed.
