What are the information used in Human Resource department?

Can someone decribe the information used in the HR department and the information used in various sections (Recruitment, Compensation, Benefits, Training and Employee Development, Employee Relation) of the department to get a job or process done.

For example, job seeker鈥檚 qualifications, years of experience are information needed in the recruit process.What are the information used in Human Resource department?For the recruitment process, HR office looks at the qualifications of all applicants, and in the first round, usually discards all those who don't have the minimum qualifications that are asked for in a job. They look at what academic qualifications and certifications each person has, the words used to describe the applicant's previous work and core competencies, the titles he or she has held, the companies he or she has worked for, and the years of experience. How much further the HR department screens applicants depends on what is asked for by the hiring department -- some want HR to make the decision on who to interview, some want HR to only make those first round of cuts, and then allow the hiring department to go through the resumes/applications and rank them in terms of who they want to interview. The HR department then reviews the rankings and, as long as there is clear justification for the hiring department's choices, the HR department will contact those applicants to be interviewed.



For compensation and benefits -- the compensation range and benefits are supposed to be determined BEFORE the recruitment process. For compensation, HR looks at industry standards for the same or similar jobs at similar-sized companies in similar-sized towns or cities (they are looking for a similar cost of living). For benefits, HR looks at industry standards as well.
