HR Consulting Services

1
The Obvious and the Not-So-Obvious Facets of HR
Consulting

• What companies shying away from seeking HR
  consulting services should know.

2
Companies often avoid Human Resource consultancy
firms, believing that searching and hiring
employees on their own is monetarily more
judicious.

• On first thought, it appears true. But take a
  ring side look and you'll know that such a
  thought is actually deceptive.

• Why should a company pay 10-20 more to third
  parties only for hiring candidates?

3
Paying for HR consulting does seem like an
overhead cost. But most companies have now
started to realize that their internal hiring
processes are failing.
4
At any place at any given time, there are
hundreds of job openings for similar profiles
splashed across all imaginable source points, be
it newspapers, employment listings, online job
portals or professional social networking sites
such as LinkedIn.
5
An equally large number of people are eligible
(or think they are eligible) for any given job
listing.
6
The trouble starts when ineligible candidates
respond to job postings and line up at your doors
for interviews.
7
Sifting through a big bunch of interviewees to
find the right fit is often a shot in the dark,
especially when you are looking to fill a
position requiring specialized skill sets.
8
What's worth asking is that would you like to
interview the best of the best candidates or only
those that respond to your posting?
9
That's where HR consulting firms come in. These
firms get you candidates who would have otherwise
been inaccessible (because that's their job!).
10
They pool human resources from a wide range of
time-tested sources rather than only through job
postings.
11

• Traditionally, in internal hiring processes, HR
  personnel are bombarded with innumerable resumes
  that may not necessarily be suitable for a
  particular position.

• HR consulting firms scan through resumes to
  provide you with only the best ones with the
  right fit for the designation you are aiming to
  fill.

The functions of an HR department of an
organization go far beyond just hiring the right
candidates.
14
Making sure that a company's HR is well managed
requires an eagle's eye view of the entire
organization.
15

• Because it is often not possible internally, most
  firms hire external HR management service
  providers to make sure that their most important
  resources (i.e. their employees) are well managed
  and happy.

16
This translates into better performance for the
company.
17

• Employees are bound to perform more efficiently
  at an organization when they believe that their
  companies have sound and just HR policies.

18
Developing practical and fair policies is thus a
basic requirement.
19
While every facet of the work at an organization
needs to have a specific set of policies, at a
minimum, companies need to have policies in place
for performance management, leaves, holidays,
vacations, termination of employment,
recruitment, hours of work, and overtime.
20
By seeking HR consulting services for policy
development, companies can ensure that unbiased
policies are in place, with the added advantage
of ensuring employee morale.
21
HR consulting is thus a silver lining for
corporate firms, giving them not one by many less
things to worry about!
