Who is a HR Manager
A human resources specialist, or HR manager, is the link between the staff and the company's work goals. HR (human resources) is translated from English as human resources. What does a human resources manager do: first of all, he forms and recruits human resources, starting from researching the need for employees, hiring and up to dismissal. A manager is a leadership position; his main goal is effective productivity from employees and the creation of comfortable working conditions. The success of the entire enterprise depends on productive work and satisfied employees. An HR manager needs to have strategic abilities and an analytical mind, because depending on the specifics of the enterprise, they often have to solve multifunctional problems. In small companies, the position is occupied by one person; in large companies, the assigned tasks are divided into departments and divisions for working with personnel.
Features and tasks of a recruiter
This is the most sought-after specialization for HR managers. Depending on the organization of work, companies use the services of an internal HR department or various recruitment agencies. In any case, these specialists are responsible for recruiting employees and filling specific positions. If we consider the specific actions that recruiters perform in organizations, here are the main ones:
- drafting the text of the vacancy and requirements for applicants;
- posting advertisements for open vacancies through various channels;
- searching for candidates for vacancies, viewing resumes;
- receiving and considering applications from applicants;
- assessing the suitability of candidates’ qualities and skills for the position for which they are applying;
- conducting interviews.
But the decision whether to hire a candidate or not can be made either by the recruiter or the immediate supervisor of the future employee.
If a company turns to recruitment agencies for help, the recruiter’s responsibilities are somewhat different. In this case, an HR specialist helps draft the text of the vacancy, monitors posted resumes, selects suitable candidates and organizes meetings between the employer and them. If necessary, the recruiter can take part in negotiations or give the employer advice on personnel selection.
When choosing a recruiter for your company, be sure to evaluate the following qualities:
- knowledge of psychology;
- intuition;
- learning ability;
- stress resistance.
Working with people is quite difficult, and when searching and selecting them, you also need to be able to see people “through and through.” At the same time, impartiality is important in this profession. A recruiter should not put his personal attitude above his professional qualities. But there may be exceptions here.
The position of chief accountant has become vacant in a construction company in Moscow. An HR specialist posted an ad. Of all the candidates who responded, only 2 resumes met the requirements for the vacancy. The first of the candidates, Natalya, worked for more than 7 years as a chief accountant in another Moscow construction company. The second resume was sent by Olga; she worked for only 2 years in this position in Vladivostok, but due to her move to the capital she was forced to change her place of work. It was more logical to hire Natalya for the position. But the company’s HR manager had previously worked at the same enterprise where the first candidate worked. Employees often clashed due to the bad character of the chief accountant. The atmosphere in the team was constantly tense, which negatively affected the work of the entire team. As a result, Olga was approved for the position. She quickly joined the team and showed herself to be a friendly, competent and responsible specialist.
Job description
Organizations different in their field of activity develop their own job descriptions, which differ depending on the size, number and industry in which the enterprise operates. What is included in the job responsibilities of an HR manager is described in detail in the job description, which is formed on the basis of an employment contract with an employee in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and the professional standard of a HR specialist.
Employee rights
The HR manager has the opportunity to familiarize himself with project decisions made by the manager and his immediate superior within the framework of the activity.
