One of the main activities of the HR manager is the recruitment of new employees, based on the company’s needs but also on its corporate culture. The HR manager is called upon to recruit talent who can contribute to the improvement of the workforce and who have characteristics compatible with the company’s Mission and Vision.
In order to identify the best candidates, he or she works with employment agencies and draws up job advertisements, taking care of writing the job description. He generally conducts the first interview, introducing the company to the candidate, explaining the characteristics of the job and determining whether or not he is suitable to continue the selection process. Once the ideal candidate has been identified, he/she submits his/her Curriculum Vitae to the HR director or company management. When the recruitment is finalised, he finalises the contract defining salary and benefits and organises the hiring process.
The HR manager’s role, however, does not end with hiring employees: it is also his job to make sure that labour laws are respected and that employees can grow by meeting their career goals.
In addition, he or she is called upon to review the performance of the individual worker and the work team using the most appropriate evaluation tools (from numerical scale evaluation to goal-based performance reviews). If the company where he/she is employed is small and does not have an accounting department, he/she may also have to deal with payroll and reimbursements.
