HR consulting is a field of profession where consultants offer the company one or more categories of HR-related services. These services include coordinating the recruiting process and employment of new personnel, managing the recruitment process, suggesting reorganizations, or serving as a mediator between management and workers to help resolve employee issues.

You have the option of working for a business or on your own as an HR consultant. You can specialize in a particular area of HR, such as benefits or labor relations, or you can be a generalist offering a variety of HR-related activities. You can either promote your services to businesses or a consulting firm may leverage your professional experience as part of a team approach to working with a business.
