1 Share of the human resources officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the recruitment consultant profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 30 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A human resources officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a recruitment consultant background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held mentor individual employees communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held determine salaries management skills
  • already held personal reflection techniques based on feedback social sciences, journalism and information
  • already held profile people management skills
  • already held ensure gender equality in the workplace assisting and caring

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
