BS - Business/Human Resources /// But not always required to get started in recruiting
$45,000 starting salary and can pay up to $150,000+ for Recruiting Managers with 15+ years experience in some organizations.
People are always hiring. At times there may be less jobs out there to be filled, but companies are going to always need people, and I am in the business of people.
I love helping people advance their careers. I get to be passionate with them about their next steps in their own personal careers. I get to help them land their dream jobs, and I get to watch them climb and reach their career goals over time.
There is always a lot of demand for job seekers. It is VERY competitive and you do not always win. But at the end of the day, you are still helping people along their journey to advance their own career.
