Why Certify as HRIP?
Because Experience + Knowledge = WISDOM
And IHRIM certifies EXPERTS.
Leading in People Tech and being recognized as a Human Resource Information Professional (HRIP) requires years of experience and a masterful grasp of multidisciplinary knowledge spanning HR, IT, PM, and L&D that only a fraction of HR professionals attain.
Expand and see these immediate benefits:
HRIP certification is a globally recognized credential awarded after a tangible assessment of your experience and expertise in vendor-agnostic HRIM/HRIS concepts and processes.
HRIP certification demonstrates to clients and employers that you are motivated, knowledgeable, and committed to delivering professional excellence with superior technical fluency.
HRIP certification demonstrates that you stay current in your work, deliver solutions to employers, and distinguish yourself as a leader worthy of respect, recognition, and more compensation than a HR generalist without technical fluency.
The two-hour HRIP examination is offered year-round exclusively by IHRIM, the only global community of HR technology professionals. An industry-first oral examination is available for certain candidates.
HRIP certification set me apart from other candidates and showcased my skill set in a more strategic light... as someone who can ‘think bigger’ to solve business problems with tech.
