Human Resources Manager Hiring Guide | LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Human resources managers strategize, coordinate, and direct the employee-related functions of an organization. They oversee the recruiting, hiring, training, and cultivation of staff — and often serve as a link between an organization’s management and its employees. They also develop and maintain HR-related practices and policies, handle employee-related issues, and help keep performances at peak levels.
