How do I convince prospective empolyer/s my interest in exploring diff areas of HR other than recruitment?
It's sometimes difficult to transition from staffing into other areas, in part because staffing is in high demand right now. If you are a contract recruiter, try taking some classes or obtaining an HR certification.





Another option is to become an in-house recruiter for one company, and then transfer into HR as opportunities become available. You could offer yourself as a "full service recruiter, taking the new employee from sourcing to hire and through orientation to get some experience in delivering orientation. From there it can be a quick step over to training and then you're off and running. A large company in a high-turnover industry (like retail or food service) may be your best bet to have an opportunity as an in-house recruiter as well as the ability to move up quickly.





Good luck!
