HR consulting firms provide services in system implementation, recruiting, business process assessment, and compensation management. They are used by large organizations to fill short-term gaps in their internal HR departments. Consultants are certified specialists with experience in different aspects of HR.
HR consulting firms are available all over the world and are designed to meet various unique needs of human resource services. Human resources (HR) consulting is generally divided into four main areas: system implementation, recruiting, business process assessment, and compensation management. HR consulting firms are generally used by large organizations that have a dedicated human resources department. In general, companies with less than 250 employees are not large enough to need the services of this type of company.
The main objective of all HR consulting companies is to fill a short-term gap in the services provided by the company’s internal human resources department. Consultants are usually certified human resource specialists with experience in different aspects of the profession. When selecting any consulting firm, it is standard practice to ask for CVs of consultants who will be assigned to the project. Review resumes carefully to determine the level of education and experience each team member has.
System implementation is a big part of the work done by HR consulting firms. There are two types of systems used for HR: enterprise resource planning (ERP) or payroll/human resources system. ERP implementation requires a specific skill set, including knowledge of configuration, systems analysis, legal human resources and payroll requirements, and programming skills. A stand-alone payroll system also requires training in system implementation, but lacks the complexity of an ERP implementation.
Recruitment services can range from short-term work needs to executive search committees. The general need met by this type of company is to manage the process of publishing tasks and reviewing applications. Typically, a recruitment firm conducts the initial review and interview with potential candidates. A short list is then presented to the client, who will conduct second and third level interviews with the recruiter. After selecting a selected candidate, the recruiting company receives your payment for the services rendered.
Business process assessment is a growing area of business for HR consulting firms. To provide this service, consultants must have a solid human resources educational background and be familiar with all local employment laws, reporting requirements and other regulations. Industry experience is also needed to understand the difference between ideal solutions and practical needs.
Compensation management is the process of comparing the total compensation package provided by a company against industry, industry and geographic location. Active compensation management is an integral part of staff retention and recruitment. The hidden costs of high staff turnover have a wide impact on a company’s productivity and efficiency.
