Making the move to HR Manager

Fiona

Hi,

Has anyone got any advice, or would be willing to share their own story, of moving up to an HR Manager role please?

I am an HRBP, and keen to progress my career, but all the HR Manager vacancies either seem to be stand-alone HR roles at small companies (small pay too) which I am not really interested in, or want someone who is already a Manager. I'm finding it hard to identify how to be considered as a first time HR Manager. I do have extensive team management experience from 15 years ago, but switched careers then to HR and started at the bottom.

Any advice? Thank you.

  • Those standalone roles are what you're looking for. In a growing business, they offer the best opportunity to increase the HR team, and add direct management of subordinates to your CV. It is, imo, both normal and correct to seek experience in people management from new hires looking for a role in people management. The other option is to stay in place and press for opportunities to take on management responsibility within your existing team. But I tend to think that an HRBP shouldn't have direct management responsibility as this dilutes the value of the role.
