Dear,
Hi every one. Please help me for my situation. Presently i am in a recruitment consulting firm . I got one offer from a manufacturing industry. My problem is, the company doesn't have any hr department, i am the one who need to implement everything. My work history is full of recruitment, so i am not aware about the generalist profile, but i feel to do that perfectly in short span of time.
The remuneration is same what i have now. The only advantage is " its a industry with generalist profile." Shall i accept the offer? how about my carrier growth? Please help me out for this problem.

I think you need to analyse the following:
Is the Manufacturing Industry reputed / or well know in your locality?
Was the management clear on why they wanted to hire you?
Did it look like the team is open to change (incorporating an HR dept is like bringing a huge change)?
Did they tell you that they will support you with your ideas / recommendations and decisions?
Are they intersted in investing for welfare?
If the above answers are "yes"., then I guess you cleared 50% of having a positive reason to move there.
The regarding salary: Guess its fine based on the portfolio they have offered you. May be down the line once you perform, you can expect an increment.
Regarding your skills - everything is best learnt when we experiment by ourselves. So make sure they give you ample time to deliver. Be clear on your deliverables and I guess that should take care of things.
So - take time to think, analyze about the manufacturing units performance in the last few years,
Why are they hiring you? Is it just for the sake of having someone as HR?
Make sure you clear your mind of all the above questions.... things will be crystal clear to you whether you should take it forward or not.
Good Luck!

I'm sure it is a good opportunity for you to get into a generalist profile. Your learning will be immense since you will be the one who will be structuring policies, implementing them & so on ... you can definitely read & take inputs from citehr members.
I think a good move with respect to your career.

Dear Friend,
You will know where to start only when you go there and see the current process, and then suggest.
Before making them accept, sit with them and show what benefits your strategies can offer, and how not implementing your strategy may have an impact in the long. If both the sides are convinced - you should be fine.
However - dont take an assignment if you are not confident. I cant (neither can anyone else) vouch for you or the company. Attitude / confidence / ability to accept defeat / perseverance is all that matters here.
If you have 1000 questions on "what will happen if I cant or if I dont" - you will not be able to do what you intend to.
Challenges are never smooth. Take the history of people who are well known in the Indian Entrepreneur list - see their history/background life. You will notice they h\all had one thing in common - sight of their vision. They never let any such confusions comeup in between, They managed it head on with the "self awareness' and knowledge on the "Purpose of going behind their goal"
WHat do you want?
a) Safe career with good salary - not looking at any change or risk
b) or Intersting career with no commitments of a smooth road - and have the ability to lay down the rules by self - challenge yourself each time, and feel good about doing something really different.
If you chose "a" - dont go for this job.
Good Luck

Hi Frnd,
To be frank Even I Din,t have any Idea abt the management & HR functions for any industry. I was into different background in technical as System Admin. Due to some issues with my prior employer I was supposed to quit over there & was working for an auditor firm for some days. From there I got challenging opportunity as Admin Manager for an IT company. I joined just 5months back & performing my duties smoothly. Even here I am the only Admin cum HR person. Ofcourse so far I am unable to implement HR activities but starting slowly. When ever opportunity knocks I am implement bit by by. Here everything is managed by our director itself. Now I am taking care of full Payroll & Legal issues of our company.
I strongly Agree that Cite HR is helping me a lot in that case.
If you feel that the company is good please take a Chance.

Hi Desikan,
This is a rare opportunity normally employer will look for exposure in all areas of HR. You will have good learning throughout in structruing HR department. You may have to spend more time in structruing part initially. Based on the requirement of your new company you can focus on the concepts of HR. It is always better to join in a manufacturing company where you will practice all HR concepts.
You will be incharge only for HR or for IR also. If you are handling workmen be thorough in labour laws. You have to format standing order for workmen which almost like a handbook of staff.
All the best

Just go for it dear. Grab the opportunity at d first hand, as a generalistic profile and as a whole and sole person, u'll learn a lots which will let u height the career growth in multitude.
And as ur lack of experience, concerned to that i would suggest you to attend the various seminars to keep abreast with the technicality to implement the new policies. As a begineer you cant focus on the latest techniques for everything, rather focus to perform the things in conventional way and gradually improve them...
