JOB DESCRIPTION

Summary/Objective

The human resource manager is responsible for human resources in the company.

It is just repeating the term human resources from the title, A proper summary includes a little detailed description of what the role has to offer, what all tasks would be administered under his supervision.For example : The human resource manager is directly responsible for the overall administration, coordination and evaluation of the human resource function.

Functions

The first and foremost thing is to use bullet points while listing out functions.

hr manager is a broad term and it includes various roles within itself. So a good JD would include what all HR roles and responsibilities the job caters in. Some of the broad Human Resources functions/jobs/roles are:

1.Training and Development Manager- create and evaluate training programs, boosts employee's performance

2.Non Profit HR Manager- manage employee programs for a cause such as arts, education, health ,etc.

3.HR Recruitment specialist- recruit , interview and place technical/non technical talent.This role can be further divided into HR Responsible for recruiting technical ,non technical talent and executive(senior level) talent

5.Payroll manager- responsible for generating payslips and ensuring the salary is credited to all it's employees, compensation and benefits of its employees

This JD is missing critical information on specific roles and responsibilities of a HR Manager instead it has mentioned HR job duties under functions
