4 BEST WAYS TO GET NOTICED AND RECRUITED BY HR

Jeff Mignault • Apr 11, 2017

Human resources is a great career path. The one issue, as with many other career choices, is the high level of competition. With so many people competing for a select number of HR positions, it’s extremely important that you take the extra steps to get noticed. When you get noticed, you’ll increase your chances of being recruited by HR and getting a call for a job interview.

4 BEST WAYS TO GET NOTICED AND RECRUITED BY HR

To assist you with your HR career aspirations, we’ve outlined 4 of the best ways to get noticed in the HR industry.

1. GET YOUR RESUME PROFESSIONALLY DONE

If you want to get noticed by HR, you need to make your resume stand out in the pile of thousands of other applicants. One of the most effective ways to do this is have your resume written by a professional resume writer. They will be able to help you craft your resume to not only present the best “you” possible, but you will also have a resume that is targeted to the jobs you want.

2. HAVE A KILLER LINKEDIN PROFILE

A great LinkedIn profile is almost as important, if not as important, as having a strong resume. One of the first places HR companies look when recruiting is LinkedIn. If you don’t have a profile, or your profile is weak and hasn’t been updated recently, they’ll pass over you. If you apply for a job, and if they like your resume, they’ll also check out your LinkedIn profile to learn more about you and what you have to offer.

3. JOIN PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS

Joining a professional association, such as the Chartered Professionals In Human Resources Canada, and other HR associations, will not only provide you with access to opportunities and resources, it also creates an additional touch point for HR companies to find you. Being able to say you are a member of an HR association also shows you are serious about your career – something that is appealing to hiring companies.

4. NETWORK 

Getting to know people who work in HR can open a door or two. It’s important to make it known that you are looking for new opportunities and use your network to spread the word. You never know who is looking to hire.
