Is a Degree Essential in Recruitment?
While a degree can open doors in the recruitment industry, it's not a prerequisite for success. The drive, determination, and a knack for understanding people's potential often hold more weight. While some employers do look for a 2:1 degree classification or above, many prioritise the skills and experiences that showcase your recruiting potential.
Alternative Qualifications
For those already in recruitment, professional courses such as the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) application are more distinctly than a degree, especially in a competitive job market.
Valued Degree Disciplines
However, degrees in the following subjects can be advantageous, particularly if you’re targeting a specific sector within recruitment:
• HR
• Business Management
• Finance
• Economics
• Law
• Psychology
The Skills that Power Recruitment Success
To excel in recruitment, you should aim to develop a robust skill set that includes:
• Strategic Thinking
• Confidence and Ambition
• Flexibility and Adaptability
• Courage and Curiosity
• Entrepreneurial Flair
• Commercial Awareness
• Exceptional Interpersonal Abilities
• Outstanding Communication
• Organisational Expertise
• Ability to Meet Tight Deadlines

Gaining Experience: Where to Start
Securing unpaid work experience or internships can be a stepping stone into the industry.
This is your chance to shine and possibly transition to a paid role. Additionally, gaining experience in related fields like marketing, PR, sales, or administration can be incredibly beneficial.
Building upon your experience is crucial in the competitive world of recruitment. Participating in industry-related activities such as networking events, workshops, or recruitment fairs can provide invaluable insights and contacts.
Volunteer for roles that enhance your negotiation and people management skills, as these are directly transferable to a career in recruitment.
Remember, every interaction is an opportunity to demonstrate your potential to future employers.
Keep an eye out for mentorship programmes, which can offer direct access to seasoned professionals and a wealth of practical knowledge to accelerate your journey in the recruitment field.
The Role of Professional Bodies
Joining a professional body is not mandatory, but it's a step most recruitment consultants take. It opens doors to networking opportunities and is an investment in your ongoing professional development.

Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) - The main industry body offering support and training.
Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) - Ideal for those in HR recruitment, offering resources and networking.
Institute of Recruiters (IOR) - Provides industry-specific qualifications and news.
