Right you are, Joe. The proof is HR is the one department
of most companies that can be outsourced with greater
efficiency and profitability than when in-house.

Got news for you Joe...HR are the decision makers in many

Bullfeathers! HR people are gate keepers and they may recommend things,
they are middlemen/women, but they are not the decision makers.

Glorified paper pushers and shufflers. How many HR people help make
anything that a company makes to make money? Most do not have a clue
when it comes to research and development, design, mfg, production.
They just read off a sheet of paper and try to match red ones with red
ones, and blue ones with blue one and have no clue as to the real
skills involved or how to judge those skills. I've been a recruiter for
over 10 years now and avoid HR like the plague. HR's sole function is
to shuffle paper that the decision makers must sign off on IMO. They
arrange interviews for the decision makers, travel for the people to be
interviewed, and pass out benefit information.

The only place a HR person may be a decision maker that matters, is
with a company that has nothing to sell but human services. And Ive
never worked for that type of company.

There may be a few exceptions out there but I haven't meet them yet.
