Role of HR in the Growth of an Organization

In a recent episode of “An Education That Works”, Kenneth Kinney of Victory University has discussed with Austin Baker of HRO Partners about the role of Human Resource in the growth of an organization, hiring process and opportunities for candidates in the local job market.

Talking about his company, Austin Baker said that HRO Partners offers direct solutions for companies that require HR assistance from outside. He pointed out that HRO Partners adds more horsepower and offers better solutions and for organizations that possess in-house HR department.

Trends in HR Outsourcing 

Baker discussed with Kenneth about the trends in HR department in the last 10 years in the local Memphis area. He said that there were a lot of trends in the HR industry that made the industry grow. Particularly, in the recent times, the HR Outsourcing or Consulting has been growing in a rapid way. In fact, it is found to be one of the largest growing departments.

In the US, there are organizations that exist with a need for HR assistance. But they are hesitant to invest. In the next 6 years, there is an increasing employment opportunity of about 45-60% in the US workforce. Thus, the concerned organizations should recognize the need of HR to attract and retain the right talent.

HR can also assist an organization to comply with any new laws when hiring new talent and finding out new jobs like knowledge workers, problem solvers rather than traditional jobs.

Memphis Job Market

Every year, Memphis produces about 6 to 7 thousand graduates. This provides scope to hire from the new talent.

Even though the job market consists of talented young professionals looking out for job opportunities, there are problems for the HR to hire the right candidate for the right job.

Advice for Young Talent

Baker urged the student community to prepare themselves for the job requirements. He said that the students should show proof to the employers that they have what it takes to get hired. They should show the evidence of some kind of experience which can include a certificate program, an internship experience or a volunteering activity.

He mentioned that there are opportunities for young aggressive talent in the job market. But there are also a lot of challenges in the entry-level positions. Young graduates should exhibit unique skills like problem solving skills in order to get hired.
