= About Human Resources
+The people who work for your company are human capital and are its most important
+asset. Selecting a software platform that increases the value of your companies human
+capital and delivers benefits, services and opportunities to your workforce, is
+critical to your companies success.
+That platform must be able to accurately and reliability process worker transactions,
+collect decision support information, and communicate between management, workers
+and outside resources.
+
+The OFBiz Human Resource application (HR App) can provide a stable foundation for
+building that platform.
+
+= Human Resources Processes
+
+Human Resources Management can be divided into several distinct processes.
+
+* Job Planning and Definition
+* Recruitment
+* Candidate Selection and Hiring
+* Employee Evaluation
+* Employee Training and Development
+* Promotion
+* Employee Salary and Benefits
+* Performance Management
+
+== Job Planning and Definition
+
+Generally job positions are authorised by a budget and fulfilled by people. The
+ person fulfilling the position may be a permanent employee, a temporary employee
+or a contractor.
+
+* Positions may be salary or hourly, fulltime or part time.
+* Positions have responsibilities.
+* Positions are defined by a type of work.
+
+For example there may be 20 job positions in an organization for a administrative
+clerk. Each position is has a job definition and is authorised by a budget request
+from a department in the organization.
+A position can be unfulfilled. (i.e a it exists but no one is currently employed
+to do it).
+In some cases a position could also be considered a full-time equivalent (FTE) and
+can be assigned to more than one person (e.g. job sharing)
+
+In the OFBiz Human Resources application you can:
+
+* Create positions
+* Fulfill positions
+* Define the responsibilities of a position
+* Define a tree reporting structure between positions
+* Track the positions fulfillments over time
+
+== Recruitment, Candidate Selection and Hiring
+
+Recruitment is about at attracting applicants that match the skills and experience
+ you are looking for in a particular job position. Candidates can apply and after
+reviewing their details, those who are the best match in terms of qualifications
+and experience are short listed for interview. The final step is deciding upon the
+ final candidate that you want to hire and the employment contract details that
+are related to that.
+
+In the OFBiz Human Resouces application you can:
+
+* Create a Requisition for new job positions
+* Create Internal Job Postings
+* Apply for job positions
+* Review Resumes / CVs
+* Arrange and Grade Interviews
+
+== Employee Evaluation
+
+== Employee Training and Development
+
+== Promotion
+
+== Employee Salary and Benefits Administration
+
+== Performance Management
