Getting Started - Education Requirements

The requirements for degrees vary depending on industry and company. In most cases, recruiting doesn’t necessitate any sort of degree or certification—training on the job will usually suffice—but most companies still require a bachelor’s degree. According to Zippia, about 68% of recruiters have a bachelor’s degree. While there is no traditional “recruiting” major at most universities, the top three college majors (almost 40%) for recruiters are business, psychology, and human resources management.
