Today we’re introducing a groundbreaking new service: a comprehensive, AI-driven career navigator for HR professionals.
The HR profession is broad, complex and constantly changing. HR professionals who began their careers as recruiters or HR generalists are now faced with a wealth of professional, technical and consulting opportunities. How do HR professionals plan and manage their careers?
Well, to date, most of us have done this through experience. As we learn and grow, we are exposed to new fields, new people, new technologies. When these opportunities arise, we find what we love, we are forced to maybe look for a new job, and most of us go through a zigzag career of promotion, growth, and some kind of self-actualization. And if you aspire to be a VP or CHRO, you try new things and try to learn to be a leader, an executive, and a business person too.
Our Global HR Competency Model details 94 different competencies across professions. Add to that the dozens of new AI-related skills you need, and you have hundreds of options for growth. And if you’re at a company that doesn’t invest in HR, you might never even be exposed to these new opportunities.
As part of our ongoing commitment to support and advance HR, we are introducing a groundbreaking new solution called HR Career Navigator. Available for free, the platform allows you to upload your LinkedIn resume, document your experience, and assess your skills. Then, leveraging the power of AI (powered by Eightfold), the system will analyze your career, identify relevant skills, and provide personalized advice for new roles, new jobs, and multiple career paths.
Once you research and select your desired career path, the system will provide you with precise training and development resources (from The Josh Bersin Academy, aka JBA) and connect you directly with peers who are in the job market and can give you advice. It’s a career advisor, navigator, and coach all in one.
The platform has been in development for over two years. We worked with Eightfold to take all of our experience with HR jobs, skills, and career experiences, and map this taxonomy into Eightfold’s powerful AI engine. Now, as an integrated solution, the system helps you explore hundreds of jobs and roles, providing multi-stage development paths to consider. And with 700+ learning resources and 27 certification courses available through the Josh Bersin Academy, you can quickly gain the skills you need.
We know this is important. I talk to HR leaders and their teams every day, and I know that 95% of you are looking for projects, experiences, and opportunities to grow. Our Systemic HR research shows that companies that invest in their HR function far outperform their peers in employee engagement, retention, growth, and productivity. We also know that most senior HR leaders (including many CHROs) are constantly looking for ways to improve, learn, and expand their capabilities to add value.
The HR Career Navigator is directly linked to the Josh Bersin Academy, which means not only can you use the Navigator to learn and grow, but you can also meet and engage with your peers. We invite you to join us on this journey. Sign up here.
