Recruitment and talent management
Some HR professionals work mainly around identifying suitable candidates, conducting recruitment processes and helping organisations attract the people they need. Talent development can then continue through training, performance management and career development.
Employee relations
Another area concerns the relationship between employees and their organisation. This can involve communication, workplace policies, employee concerns and efforts to maintain effective working relationships.
Finding your area of interest
Students do not necessarily have to decide on a particular HR specialisation before entering university. Coursework, industrial training, internships and workplace exposure can help them discover the areas they enjoy most.
