Mr. Pranam Kundap, HRBP at MediaMint gave our students an overview of job opportunities in the following functions of HR:

1. Talent Acquisition

2. Employee Engagement

3. Payroll and Compensation

4. Learning and Development

5. Performance Management

Some of the vital points he put down are:

• The new role of an HR manager as HR Business Partner calls for more ownership and  playing a larger role in synergistic and contributing to all the other functions.

• Employee Engagement does not just consist of celebrating festivals by way of activities, it has a larger scope. Employee Engagement is now seen as means to achieve the end result of a good Employee Branding.

• Thus, Employee Branding is now considered as a niche area and has career opportunities starting with opportunities in large MNCs and slowly trickling down to other organisations as well.

• He strongly suggested that at least HR students complete a certificate course in Payroll and Compensation. This vertical opens a lot of doors for HR students to start their careers.

• The function of Learning and Development he said requires some years of experience and expertise to build upon as a career but, the students can join as a coordinator or as an assistant in this funtion when starting this career.

• Working remotely as a freelance recruiter is also an option that HR students can look at.

Mr. Kundap thus gave a bird's eye view on options available to freshers in the HR domain.
