Whether it’s a litigation case, recruiting challenges, or managing health care reform; you’ve determined it’s time to hire an HR Manager. Has your organization previously disbursed these duties over multiple departments or employees? Have you found this is an inefficient use of your resources? Let us help!
Human Resources typically handle many critical functions including: litigation issues, workforce disputes, benefits and payroll administration, creating company procedures, creating training programs, recruiting, as well as hiring and termination procedures. HR most often is heavily involved in the hiring and on boarding processes, allowing them a great influence on company culture, employee turnover, and overall productivity in the workplace.
Allowing one person or a small team, access to that amount of influence and company information can be overwhelming. Keep in mind, a true HR professional will be a strong supporter of confidentiality, fairness, and integrity. Here are some great tips for hiring the right HR professional for you:
- Find an HR professional who will be able to handle your company’s growth and expansion.
- Determine what your primary goals for the position are.
- Find a candidate who mirrors your company culture.
- Find a candidate you can trust with your trade secrets and internal information.
- Make sure your interview, job descriptions, and conversations are legally compliant.
- Obtain references from peers, former employers, and those who have worked under the candidate.
- Find a candidate with experience in your industry.
- Set and discuss the goals for the position.
Hiring human resource professionals requires experience in legal compliance, a strong ability to probe during an interview, and creative interview questions. HR candidates are used to being on the other side of the desk and typically know the answers that you want to hear; therefore screening for these level of positions should only be handled by a seasoned interviewer. Human resources usually sets the tone for the work environment and is key to employee development, productivity, and legal protection. Hiring the right person for your company and your company’s goals is imperative, probably more so than most other positions.
