Do you like the idea of helping a company’s employees, but on your own terms? An HR consultant typically specializes in a certain area of human resources – employee compensation, benefits plans, talent acquisition, company culture, etc. – and works with companies to improve their HR processes. A consultant chooses what companies to work with and sets his or her own hourly rate.
HR consultant employment growth is the same as HR manager employment, growing at 9% through 2024.
As organizations develop more competitive compensation and benefits plans, they need HR experts with the leadership skills to take their culture and HR program to the next level.

You’ll learn how to leverage your knowledge and skill strategically to create personalized, effective HR processes for multiple clients.
