  • 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.
