It is vital to ensure that the recruitment process is fair, efficient and effective. An HR professional will work with the hiring manager to identify the skills and experience required for the role, and they also identify potential candidates. This can include liaising with the candidates and arranging interviews. They also conduct reference checks and background checks.
After a candidate has been selected, it is usual for the HR professional to help to onboard the new employee. They also provide support and guidance to employees throughout their career. The HR professional plays an essential role in ensuring that the workforce is both skilled to meet current and future needs and is diverse.
