SAP - HR Fresher

[Former Member]

I am B.E (Electronics and Telecomm) 2006 passout. I have 4 years of work experience in education industry, out of which 2 years I have been working as HR Executive(Generalist Role) handling the recruitment & selection, training & Development. I am also pursuing my Masters in Human Resource Development & Management (MHRDM) part time. As I am from Engineering background, I want to use my technical abilities too rather than just focusing on my management skills. How do I get in to SAP-HR Consultant and will it be practically possible and logical to shift my career path. Please guide

Hi Shweta,

If you have worked in HR then it would be fine for you to understand the industry processes followed and then its easy to map those in SAP.But you need to gain some knowledge on configuration part if you want to be functional. if you would like to be technical , then surely you need to have programming exp.

In both the cases you need real time exp. . So what you can do is ,get some training in SAP HR and then look for some support projects. After gaining some exp. in real time, you can apply to consulting companies.

Cheers,

Hi

Since You have worked in HR Executive(Generalist Role) handling the recruitment & selection, training & Development , which are the sub modules in SAP HR , i would like you to get some more exposure in Pay Roll side so that your entry will be made easy since PY Consultants will have more demand

You can enter into SAP by masters Recruitment and Training and Development at first later try to shift to Pay Roll or else have exposure outside in PY ( i mean core Knowledge in HR Payroll and than come into SAP since you have done BE i feel that would be a great advantange to you to move to ABAP HR later on)
