Hi There,

Yes. Rightly said there is a saturation in the HR job.

The reason being, HR is a job which involves a lot of strategising and most importantly being innovative.
But these days students fresh out of a B-School, just wish to imply textual knowledge, which is not applicable to current working situation.

Try to bring some freshness in the job, at the same time be empathetic and not sympathetic, learn to communicate, look out for challenges.

Or else, be ready for an Admin job, which though is a part fo the HR role, but is different from the hardcore HR job.

Hope this helps.

Wish you good luck..........

Hello, being honest Human resources field is truly exceptional and diverse in its own right. There is no sort of saturation in this field as such but there is always a lack of potential skillfull candidates that brings in a gap in the sector. This is one reason why to some it may appear as saturation.

HR was initially restricted to basic management and administration and this field has been through sea changes since then. For example, HR expanded from recruitment and selection to talent management, HR strategy management and so on. More recently, it acts in an important integral role in functioning of organizations. This field has also expanded into other areas of social sciences, like welcoming the Sociologists, Psychologists and Organisational psychologists. HR research is also expanded into the above three mentioned areas in over two decades. The industry is well growing in its own way, yet there is always a gap in terms of finding students with the right skill sets for the people's job.

Students need to learn, develop and demonstrate people skills in order to perform in a HR role. There is a lot of myth around the HR field, as it is restricted to administration, or mostly suitable for only female candidates. Society is very slowly changing and the perceptions towards this field is also changing. Yet, the progress is not rapid which reflects on the shortage of right talent required for this job. It is just that lots of people blindly choose their career, without assessing their skillsets and get stuck up into the wrong domain and this way HR area is very much prone to such issues. If you can demonstrate people skills, you have a very bright future in this field.
