Your Career Path with an MBA specialising in Human Resource Management
Our programme will benefit anyone aspiring for a management role in any industry. Upon graduation, you will be able to effectively bridge the gap between qualified employees and companies with their particular HR needs. Human Resources is a challenging field where you will deal with the effects of digitisation and the shortage of skilled workers. Our graduates will be able to use their in-depth knowledge and skills to mitigate such challenges and lead proactive recruiting. Career options for our graduates are broad, with options such as HR Business Partner, Personnel Selection Manager, HR Marketing & Employer, Recruiting Manager, People Development Manager, or Talent Manager, to name a few.
A human resources specialist is responsible for creating, evaluating and implementing HR policies in line with the company's needs and in compliance with a country's labour law. As an HR Specialist, you will also be responsible for the hiring process of a company, using your people skills and business knowledge to ensure that potential employees are the best fit for your company culturally and will bring value to it too.
The responsibilities of a talent manager include searching for talent, signing clients, and negotiating deals. To be successful as a talent manager, you understand the parameters of positions well, have a keen eye for talent, and are able to establish trust in order to ensure successful employee management. Ultimately, a high-quality talent manager has great business acumen and excellent presentation skills, something that an IU MBA will give you.
