Steps to take to start your career as a Recruiting Coordinator and other jobs like it

  • Focus on building skills essential for recruiting, including communication, negotiation, and organizational skills. Additionally, familiarize yourself with applicant tracking systems (ATS), recruitment software, and social media platforms used for sourcing candidates.
  • Attend industry events, join professional organizations such as the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), and connect with other recruiters and HR professionals on LinkedIn and even within your current company. Building a strong professional network can lead to job opportunities and valuable industry insights especially within the recruiting space.
  • Earning a bachelor's degree in human resources, business administration, psychology, or a related field can provide additional opportunities. This education can help you understand the fundamentals of recruitment and HR practices. Another common path is to move from the specialized field you are interested in recruiting for. Many finance, marketing, or technical people end up as successful finance, marketing or technical recruiters.
  • If not coming from the field you’re recruiting for, consider starting in roles that provide exposure to recruitment processes, such as HR assistant, HR coordinator, or sales positions. These roles will help you develop key skills such as interviewing, candidate assessment, and client relationship management.
