Some truths of finding HR jobs.

I was trying to find the right HR job for me and in that quest I found some interesting statistics. Thought I'd share it with you guys. 
Many people like me aspire to become HR professionals. But many are unaware of the opportunities that can come their way, like I was. During my search for an HR job I came across many openings for HR. But, not many were the ones I was looking for. I used the most common job portals and found this:
Out of the 1297 HR jobs found on Naukri on 3rd November, 109 are for recruitment executives, 99 says HR executives which eventually turned out to be recruitment jobs as well. 3 for payroll and the rest... have no relation what so ever to HR. Here begins the road blocks on the way to a promising career in HR.
The 3 payroll openings here 1 is an ad by a training firm and the other 2 require minimum 1 to 3 years experience. Which means except for recruitment jobs there aren't any starting jobs for HR aspirants. 


Many say that recruitment is the way into HR, I prefer to differ. Sitting in front of the computer, going through profiles, calling them up and getting them interested in the job one has to offer: that definitely was the most boring and uninteresting of the jobs I have done. 


My experience in recruitment:


I had joined a recruitment consultancy early in my career, located in Mahape, Mumbai. The so called bosses are supposed to be alumni of Symbiosis Institute of Management. Unlike the their Alma mater's reputation, these people had no clue as to how to run a business. They were unaware of their own clients, had no plans or strategies other than for cutting down employees salary. Getting into such a place and being treated in the worst way possible by educated illiterates created a hatred in me for the recruitment industry. It created a fear and a feeling of not being good enough. Would like to share this experience with people like me so that they get an idea about such amateurs. 
I have been to a few more recruiting consultancies and have found the situation to be more or less the same. One another fact is that in a recent interview when I mentioned the unprofessional and nonstrategic ways of my former employers, my interviewer said, "Recruitment consultancies are like that, not so organised". People running the business themselves does not have pride and confidence in what they do. I believe working in such places would fetch us experience of working for 1 year but nothing more than that. Its not credible experience.
However, there are way more organised and structured working patterns in certain recruitment firms. I had been to one such firm in SakiNaka, Mumbai. They were very serious about their business and were very well organised and strategic.
