In a recent episode of The Jim Stroud Podcast, “Don’t Let Your Recruiting Talent Go To Waste During a Recession,” I made a case for reallocating recruiters into other parts of the business in order to attain a strategic advantage. I laid out four examples of what companies could have recruiters do during a recession and this is my fifth suggestion: do a skills assessment and place them on other jobs inside your company.
In a conversation with ChatGPT, I asked for a list of jobs that were compatible with the skills of a recruiter. Not only did it give me a list of jobs, but it shared attributes that were essential for recruiting and likewise, the jobs it cited. Here is a quote…
Recruiters have a range of skills that can be transferable to various jobs and industries. Here are some job roles that are compatible with the skills of a recruiter:
- Human Resources Manager
- Talent Acquisition Specialist
- Sales Representative
- Business Development Manager
- Account Manager
- Marketing Coordinator
- Public Relations Specialist
- Event Coordinator
- Customer Success Manager
- Training Manager
- Learning and Development Specialist
- Career Coach
- Executive Assistant
- Office Manager
- Operations Manager
- Project Manager
- Business Analyst
- Data Analyst
- Customer Service Manager
- Social Media Manager
- Content Writer
- Copywriter
- Digital Marketing Manager
- Market Research Analyst
- Business Consultant
These job roles require skills such as communication, relationship building, problem-solving, organization, time management, and adaptability, all of which are essential for a recruiter. Additionally, recruiters often have experience in sourcing and evaluating candidates, which can be valuable in many different industries and job functions. Do you have openings in your company for any of these roles? If so, consider offering an opportunity to an internal recruiter.
If you like the idea of this, in addition to consulting ChatGPT, consider the website – My Skills, My Future. It gives you jobs that are a match for other jobs, based on skills, and salary information. Check out what I get when I search for jobs based on an HR Specialist qualifications.
