HR specialist
Personnel department professional
An HR specialist is a human resources professional who handles specific functions within an organization's personnel operations—recruiting, benefits administration, employee relations, or compliance with labor laws.
Unlike generalists who cover all HR areas, specialists focus on one domain: The HR specialist walked me through the health insurance options.
The term often appears in job titles and organizational charts.
