Human Resources is an in-house business function within most organisations and sectors. HR is responsible for the management and recruitment of staff, including employee welfare, training and development, performance and reward, pensions, recruitment, and health and safety. Some sectors and large organisations hire training and development officers to ensure their workforce have the training they need for their role.
Some organisations choose to outsource their HR functions, including using recruitment or HR consultants.

The role is profit and sales driven with most consultants receiving commission for their placements. Some recruitment consultancies specialise and only work with specific sectors.
