Hi All,
For the past 5 years, I have been part of a recruitment agency, started as a recruitment consultant, but the role turned into more People and Talent for technology startups and scaleups within EMEA and the US.
My role now includes working with senior stakeholders from Chief Execs to VPs from companies across the globe, defining talent strategies, hiring plans, contract negotiations, reference checks and even some ER cases such as sensitive cases regarding replacement hires, performance related issues for an employee (previous candidate), we persuaded the company to give him a further 3 months due to the complex nature of the role.
It was from this experience I wanted to get stuck into a more People or HR focused role hence why I have just started my CIPD Level 5 qualification.
I am finding it so hard to officially move into a role like this whether it be People Advisor, Junior HR Business Partner or something similar.
Has anyone got any advice on what I should be focused on or where I should be looking?
Very keen to get your thoughts on this.
Regards
Peter
