Job profile  
HR director (m/f/d)

An HR manager is primarily the head of a company's HR department. He/she is responsible for hiring staff or giving them additional training staff in the interests of the company. An HR manager is a versatile specialist in middle or upper management, who oversees and coordinates all tasks relating to personnel. He/she can directly influence the company by means of targeted recruitment, the administration and development of training measures and also the development of the HR and salary strategy.

HR managers work in a wide variety of business areas, and coordinate the personnel within a company. They are the central point of contact for both employees and employers. In doing so, they have to keep an eye on the company's strategic goals and take them into consideration in their strategy. The area of responsibility is as follows:

• Personnel management from recruitment to termination
• Requirements analysis, training planning and employment planning
• Employee motivation
• Mediation between the management, the works council and the employees
• Payroll accounting and salary policy

HR training and training or a degree in HR management are among the basic requirements for working as an HR manager. Knowledge of payroll accounting, employee training and labour law is equally as important.

As well as training, the following soft skills are required:

• Management skills
• Assertiveness and good negotiating skills
• Willingness to take responsibility and proactiveness
• Good communication skills
• Comprehensive experience in personnel planning and recruiting
• Payroll accounting skills
• Knowledge of employee training
• Strong motivational skills

HR managers are high earners – their income depends on the size of the company, the number of employees and the orientation of the company. In small companies, an HR manager earns an average of EUR 80,000 a year, and in organisations with several thousand employees it can easily be twice that amount More than 90 percent of HR managers also receive annual bonuses.

In view of the increasing shortage of skilled workers in all industries, employee retention and training is becoming increasingly important for companies of all sizes. Human resources are also in a state of flux, and require more and more flexible, versatile and in some cases highly specialised skilled employees. The HR manager is a sought-after specialist, particularly in labour-intensive industries such as mechanical engineering and engineering, but also in IT and other technology areas.
