Hi Sangeeta,
I feel that IT recruitments are more technical, and it will usually take time for a non-IT recruiter to get used to the IT recruitment area. So you could always highlight the interviewer that - you have the core ability to identify even technical profiles and interview them, non IT should never be an issue for you.
Because as far as Recruitments are considered, its the "ability" and art of interviewing to find the candidate with tehright attitude and pre screening on the desired area of exposure. Teh rest is left to the hands of the Hiring Manager (or individual dept heads).
And - being an IT recruiter myself during my initial career run stage, I know that the way of working is more structured, and this can help in making the recruitment process systematic and in line with the company needs.
Also - try highlighting the fact that dumping of resumes is never possible under IT recruitments - same practise will help you giving quality profiles for non-it field.
If you have a fear and lack on confidence that you don have hands on experience on the field - neither will the interviewer have any confidence.
So Pep up!

Sangeetha,
I am a firm believer that Recruitment basic outline will remain the same, irrespective of you being in IT or Non-IT sector.... Probably you might want to project yourself in those lines...
If your core recruitment skills are good, I dont see why you shuold not be selected...
I do agree that Recession has its role to play in this kind of market...
But You should keep trying... All the Best...
Thanks,

Hi,
generally it is an existing practice that candidates with exposure to IT Recruitments are not considered for non-IT recruitments. However some companies do not take this as a major constraint. Try to convince the employer with the kind of specialized recruiting skills you have, your acheivements in the previous role etc. My suggetsion is to try for an IT recruitment position since there are bunch of opportunities for that still.

Dear Sangeetha,
I personally believe that as a true recruiter, a person should be able to work on any kind of requirement. The key step is we have to keep educating ourselves on the areas, which are not related to us also.
Take, for example in my place of work my role changes every now & then- Sometimes into IT & Some times Non IT.. you should pull out the guidance from your friends who hale from a Non IT background & present that Guidance in your interviews.
As far as the success is concerned, it will automatically come if we gain some expertise-which again comes again through series of small steps of failure only. So dont feel disheartened.
Keep going

Hi Sangeetha,
There is no difference in IT and Non IT. Recruiter need to understand the Job description and able to communicate to the candidte and convince them to make them intersted to look at the opportunity.
Dont worry that you didnot get through in the interviews, you will definetly get a job in soon and reply me when u get a job.

Hi Sangeetha,
Dont lose hope.Keep yourself updated.Learn from your interviews.what you are saying is true companies are not hiring senior guys, since they can easily hire good talents at a low cost in this recessionary market.
And also never leave a job without one or offers in hand its a basic thumb rule for everyone.
Keep trying and keep on trying.Share me your updated profile to this email id
if possible will catch you with good opening.
