Guidelines for hiring safety personnel
Article Abstract:
In the U.S. there are approximately 250,000 to 300,000 safety engineers and consultants. The guidelines for employing a safety engineer center on the requirements of the job as defined by the prospective employer. Safety engineers may be needed to: (1) inspect company premises to ensure compliance with OSHA standards, (2) develop safer procedures for company operations and methods of ensuring compliance with OSHA standards, and (3) help upper levels of management devise safety regulations for the corporation. Certifications for safety engineers, such as registered Professional Engineers(PEs) and Certified Safety Professionals (CSPs) are also discussed, as are salary levels for safety engineers and a list of five professional societies for safety engineers.

Hiring design specialists
Article Abstract:
Designers can provide benefits to companies by helping firms to enhance and clarify their business characters, but personnel managers sometimes find recruiting designers to be difficult because a designer's work is often misunderstood. Personnel managers that want to recruit designers should follow suggested steps so that the right candidates who can fit into firms' corporate cultures can be located. Steps in the process include: making sure that management's expectations and needs are understood before interviewing design candidates; making sure to remain within specific design industries, if possible; and making sure to trust instinctive reactions when making hiring decisions.

Locate and hire technical employees
Article Abstract:
Human resources (HR) professionals are not always equipped to interview and screen candidates for technical positions, and they may need help from technical managers to attract qualified candidates. Technical employees can help write job descriptions, as well as to participate in brainstorming sessions to discuss position qualifications. Personnel managers may also receive information by using technical magazines, professional HR organizations, and newspapers' business sections. To prepare for interviews, HR managers should learn about a job's basic technical aspects and utilize technical managers to participate in the interview process.
