Human Resource (HR)

Human Resource Management (HRM) is the most important department in any company or organization. It considers every employee of the company as its asset. Human resources are the people who make up the workforce of an organization, business sector, or economy. 

Human resource managers are in charge of many duties pertaining to their job. The duties include planning, recruitment, and selection process, posting job ads, evaluating the performance of employees, organizing resumes and job applications, scheduling interviews and assisting in the process and ensuring background checks.

What do professionals in HR careers do?
Human Resources specialists are responsible for recruiting, screening, interviewing and placing workers. They may also handle employee relations, payroll, benefits, and training. Human resources managers plan, direct and coordinate the administrative functions of an organization. They oversee specialists in their duties; consult with executives on strategic planning, and link a company's management with its employees.
HR specialists tend to focus on a single area, such as recruiting or training. HR generalists handle a number of areas and tasks simultaneously. Small companies will typically have one or two HR generalists on staff, while larger ones may have many devoted to particular areas and services.

· Consult with employers to identify needs and preferred qualifications
