HR consultant
Workplace staffing expert
An HR consultant is a professional who advises organizations on human resources matters—hiring practices, employee relations, compensation, compliance with labor laws, and workplace policies.
Unlike in-house HR staff, consultants typically work independently or for consulting firms, brought in for specific projects or expertise: We hired an HR consultant to overhaul our benefits package.
The role often involves troubleshooting problems management can't or won't handle internally.
