Every name, employer and institution in this sample is invented. In the builder it is laid out on one A4 page; replace each line with your own facts.
Why it is written this way
- Recruitment is described with the two figures every HR head asks for: positions closed and time to fill.
- The improvement has a cause attached (referral scheme, shortlist bank), which makes it believable.
- Routine work is given volume: interviews a week, joiners a month, queries resolved.
- The move towards a generalist role is supported by onboarding and payroll points.
- The page is plain and exact, which is itself a recommendation for an HR person.
What to change for yourself
- Use your own hiring numbers and the kinds of roles you fill.
- If you handle statutory work such as provident fund or state insurance filings, name it under HR operations.
- For a recruitment consultancy background, show clients served and roles by level.
- Do not name candidates or disclose confidential pay data.
What to avoid
- "People person" and similar phrases.
- Listing HR theory subjects from the MBA.
- Typing errors. In an HR resume they are fatal.
Questions people ask
How do I move from recruitment to a generalist role?
Bring out every non-recruitment task you already do: onboarding, records, payroll inputs, employee queries, events. Ask for more of these in your present job and add them.
Should I mention the job portals I use?
It is enough to say job portals and referrals. Name a tool only if the advertisement asks for it.
