I have hit a threshold.
I’m 7 years in, don’t want to transition to a leadership position, and I’m burnt out from recruiting itself.

I’d thinking of moving to HR Analytics or Program Management.

I’m staying put for now considering the ongoing layoffs. Hoping to look at internal mobility next year.

12 years in recruiting, lots of successes. I feel the model is broken and one day companies will wake up.

I like that recruiting has made me dangerously conversant in many industries but feel it has done nothing for career growth beyond a paycheck.

Good Morning all,

Since I pivoted into TA (from the Wild West known as Finance) Tech Recruiting has always been the goal. But I’m having a hard time finding a way to get into that space (I do understand there’s a hiring crisis). Nevertheless, does anyone know of tech companies that are hiring? I may be low on the experience side so I’m willing to look at contract/ entry roles as well. Also, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
