Career progression in HR

Andre

Is it often considered a given in the profession that:

Someone with 3 years experience as an HR Administrator should then be able to automatically step up to an HR Advisor level role, provided they also have the CIPD Level 7 and Associate Membership of the respective professional body;

Ditto for someone with 3 years experience as an HR Advisor for an HR Business Partner role.

Ditto for someone with 3 years experience as an HR Business Partner for an HR Director’s role.

However, as a gap analysis in all their job descriptions and person specifications, they lack either previous HR Advisory, HR Business Partnering or HR Directing experience, so how do most people do it then by ‘making the jump ‘ or ‘bridging that gap.’?

    Unless it’s recruiting for not one but two discrete positions / roles then I’d see this as merely intending to indicate that elevated remuneration / status may well be able to be offered in order to attract an exceptional candidate. In other words, that the employer is willing and able to shape the role around the jobholder’s capabilities rather than the other way round. Usually, if I were the recruiter, I’d be wanting to avoid confusing the issue about whether it was one role or two and if needs be make it clear it was just the one but word the ad. in a way that would attract high flyers as well as ordinary mortals.
