- Handles hiring, onboarding and employee records.
- Administers payroll, benefits and time off, or works with the providers who do.
- Helps managers with policies, performance and employee questions.
Why the right hire matters
- Compliance. Hiring, records, payroll and leave follow the rules.
- Hiring. Recruiting and onboarding run on a process.
- People. Managers get support with policies and performance.
What do we screen HR professionals for?
- HR experience at a business of a similar size
- Working knowledge of the HR and payroll systems you use
- References from past employers, checked before you meet them
- A commute to your office they can keep up
- Interview against your job description
- References from past employers
- Work history and dates
- A commute to your office they can keep up
- Background check, with the candidate's consent
This is recruiter screening. Your own hiring checks still apply.
What does an HR professional earn?
It depends on where the job is. Three things move pay from state to state.
Cost of living
Pay tends to sit above the national average in high-cost states and metros, and below it where living costs are lower.
Local demand
Where more employers are hiring for a role than there are candidates, offers rise.
On-site, hybrid or remote
On-site roles are priced by the local market. Remote roles draw on a wider pool, which changes what candidates expect.
