Who Should Get HRIP Certified?

While IHRIM does not require work experience to take the exam, the ideal candidate will have:

  • 3-5 years of experience in HR technology solutions or HR information management, or comparable education.
  • A bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university is preferred. However, professional experience in the field bears greater weight on the candidate’s success.

Current HR technology solutions or HR information management work experience may be categorized in private and public sector, educational institutions and consultancies as:

  • Human resources information systems (HRIS)
  • Human resources information technology (HRIT)
  • Human resources management systems (HRMS)
  • Information technology/information systems
  • HRIS/HRIT educators and researchers
  • HR software and service providers

The exam reflects today’s HR technology solutions or HR information management practices. Although the five years of HR technology solutions work experience need not be current or sequential, more recent experience is more likely to coincide with the exam’s content.
