Subject: Seeking Resources for a New Internal Recruiter
Hi everyone!
I’ve recently transitioned into an internal recruitment role at my company after several years of professional growth within the organization. While I don’t have formal education or direct experience in recruiting, my familiarity with the company and its culture has been invaluable.
Over the past few months, I’ve been learning on the job, and I’m eager to expand my knowledge further. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for resources such as books, webinars, online courses, certifications, or blogs that could help me in this journey.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions!
