Sr Recruiter | Artist

This is for companies hiring Talent Acquisition/Recruitment professionals. I would like you to consider interviewing candidates outside of your industry. Just be open. Most recruiters will have no problem understanding the nuances of a new industry. Heck, I have learned new industries. DoD, SaaS, FinTech, Access Control, Digital Advertising. My degree is in History. Zero experience in tech, but somehow I was able to hire people in almost every single discipline. Healthcare companies, I am talking to you, in particular. Do you think we cannot apply our principles and skills to new positions? That is a huge component of what we do, we read resume's and screen candidates by asking questions and doing research on what they do. Think about this, you might hire someone coming in with fresh ideas, methods, and techniques that you might otherwise not see intra-industry. Now a field expert is an expert, I cannot and will not count that out. It's cool to have a specialization. However, diversity in history and experience might be the flavor you need in your TA team. Grow your team with aptitude, capabilities, skills, drive, energy, and experience rather than growing inside your industry from your competitors. We TA professionals are the most versatile human's on Earth. We meet strangers with completely different skillsets all day long and learn about them. Recruiters, agree or disagree?
