The Future - More Responsibility
Senior recruiters typically mentor or lead a group of junior recruiters. Successful senior recruiters often get the opportunity to become recruiting managers, team leaders, account executives, and possibly even a director. Career advancement can also look like an industry change. For example, a manufacturing recruiter that makes $60,000 placements might want to become an executive search recruiter that is making higher revenue placements, thus receiving higher compensation. There are plenty of jobs for recruiters across industries.
