How to break into remote HR & recruiting jobs
- Coordinator roles are the recognised entry point and rarely require prior HR experience — organisation and communication are what is screened.
- Learn one ATS well. Greenhouse, Lever and Workday cover most of the market.
- SHRM-CP or aPHR help for people-operations tracks; recruiting is more performance-driven than credential-driven.
- Agency recruiting pays on commission and moves fast; in-house is steadier and more process-oriented. They suit different temperaments.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get into HR without HR experience?
Yes — recruiting and HR coordinator roles are designed as entry points. Administrative, customer-facing or scheduling experience transfers directly, and employers hire on organisation and discretion.
Is an HR certification worth it?
aPHR or SHRM-CP helps for people-operations and generalist paths, particularly for career changers. For recruiting, a track record of filled roles carries more weight.
What is the difference between agency and in-house recruiting?
Agency work is commission-weighted, high-volume and fast. In-house recruiting is salaried, more collaborative with hiring managers, and involves more process design. Agency experience is a common route in.
