Subject: Seeking Resources as a New Internal Recruiter
Hi everyone!
I’m excited to share that I’ve recently transitioned into the recruiting team at my company after several years of working in various roles here. Although I don’t have formal training or direct experience in recruitment, my familiarity with the organization has proven to be incredibly valuable.
Over the past few months, I’ve been learning on the job, but I’m eager to expand my knowledge further. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for resources such as books, webinars, online courses, certifications, blogs, or anything else that could help me grow in this new role.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions!
