How to write your human resources resume

  1. Measure your HR work

    Time to fill, retention, number of hires, cases resolved or training completion rates show impact in a role that is often seen as support.

  2. Name your HR systems

    Workday, BambooHR, ADP or SAP SuccessFactors: list the HRIS and applicant tracking systems you know.

  3. Show the size and type of workforce

    Supporting 50 office staff is different from 400 shift workers across two sites. Give the headcount, locations and employee types.

  4. Include certifications

    SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR or a local equivalent belongs next to your name or in its own section.

  5. Keep confidentiality in mind

    Describe employee relations work in general terms. Never include names or details of individual cases.

Questions

What should an HR resume summary include?

Your HR specialty or level, years of experience, the size of the workforce you support, the key systems you use and any certification.

What are the most important skills for an HR resume?

Recruiting, onboarding, employee relations, HR systems, compliance and communication. Order them for the role: a recruiter job puts hiring first, a generalist job shows breadth.

One page for early-career HR roles, and up to two pages for HR managers or specialists with a longer track record.
