Become an HR consultant

Become an HR consultant and take control of your career. HR (human resources) consultants across Canada and the US are benefiting from flexible schedules and other benefits of consulting.

HR consulting is an exciting choice for entry-level consultants. While some business consulting areas, such as tax consulting, require substantial background and prior knowledge, HR consulting can require less prior experience for the right candidate. Remember that to be a consultant you don’t have to be an expert. Sometimes consultants take the burden off their clients by solving their clients’ problems.

That being said, in order to become an HR consultant who is in-demand and confident in his or her work, training is beneficial. There are numerous courses and accreditations available to HR consultants, and anyone who’d like to become an HR consultant should investigate the available opportunities both locally and online. For example, in Canada, certified human resource professionals (CHRP) must meet requirements, pass two national exams and sign a code of ethics. Skilled HR consultants are proficient in issues related to professional practice, organizational effectiveness, staffing, employee and labour relations, compensation, training and development, and occupational health and wellness."

Most HR consultants have a passion for people and enjoy networking and one-on-one contact. Are you considering whether to become an HR consultant? If you are considering this career change, I would encourage you to perform a personal inventory of your interests, skills and values.
