Learn about our Editorial Process Updated on 04/06/20 Are you interested in a job or career in Human Resources? Jobs in HR are either easy or difficult to come by depending on your background, life experience, education, and prior work experience. Your employability is also determined by your location and the local economy. Human resources departments can have a broad range of responsibilities. Large companies with many employees that number from dozens to well into the thousands need a human resources department to manage the relationships that employees have with the company. Smaller companies may have only one or two human resources professionals on staff, but the responsibilities remain the same. Someone needs to oversee the day-to-day details of recruiting and hiring employees, training and developing employees, and making sure the company stays in compliance with employment laws, in addition to other responsibilities. With these different responsibilities come many different job titles. So, as you keep your eyes open for jobs in HR, you must sort through many job titles. You may qualify for many HR jobs aside from HR director, generalist, assistant, manager, and VP. These are the typical titles used by employees who work in HR jobs. Feel free to use them in your organization. If you're an HR job searcher, note the vast number of titles that an HR job may be called.
