For non-human resources majors, can I apply for HR recruitment in a company by working as a headhunting consultant?

Of course it is possible

I know many well-known foreign and local headhunting consultants. 50% of the headhunting consultants initially chose to be headhunters in order to switch careers to become HR. A large number of headhunters went to companies to do so. Many of the inhouse HR staff do not have a human resources degree background. For example, IBM, Oracle, Siemens, General Motors and other companies all have HR who have been headhunters. An HR at Oracle is said to have the highest salary among the headhunters who switched to HR.

The pressure of headhunters is often greater than that of recruiters from foreign companies, and headhunters are an active recruitment model, which is more helpful to the company than the traditional passive recruitment method. Through headhunting, you can grasp the talent distribution of the entire industry, corporate market conditions, organizational structure, corporate culture, management model and other information. You can master more information than in-house HR. Some companies believe that instead of spending hundreds of thousands in headhunting fees a year, it is better to recruit a headhunter, so many companies like to hire people with a headhunting background.

It is easy for a headhunter to become a recruitment specialist or hiring manager, but if you move up the ladder, you will need to put in more effort.
