Nature of Work (from Occupation Outlook
Handbook)
Human resources assistants keep records of a
company's employees. These records have facts, such as each worker's name,
address, job title, pay, and health insurance benefits and other benefits. Every
day, human resources assistants update information and answer questions about
employees. They also may create reports for managers.
Some human resources assistants answer the
phone or open mail. Some help to hire workers. They sometimes do research on the
Internet to find qualified applicants for jobs. They tell people about job
openings. They get information from job applicants about their education and
work experience. They give out tests and explain the company's rules. They ask
for references from present or past employers. They call or write to applicants
to tell them whether or not they got the job.
