Making the move to HR Manager

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.

  • Hi Fiona,
    Have you got a plan to progress to your ideal HR Manager position? What is your timescale? Perhaps taking on the stand-alone HR role for a year or two would put you in a prime position to apply for something more to your liking in the future? Combining your HRBP experience and coming from an HR manager role would make you a strong candidate and give you more choice.
