The main reason why HR takes the first round is because:



HR can analyse where the candidates matches the expected job profile.



Have set marks defined for all questions asked and based on the percentage which he/she gets in the HR round he/she should be forwarded for Technical Round



Should have some verifications with respect to the organizations that he/she has worked.



Analyse if the candidate can be an asset or a liability to the organization.



Whether he/she matches the monetary budget.



Perform a Single or Double Background verification to check if the candidate has Geniune or Fake Experience



In the very first round there are many aspects that an HR judges a candidate on the following aspects:



Communication skills,

Eye contact,

Body language,

Thought flow,

Expressions,

Attitude

Hello Pradeep
Much appreciate your impressive input on why HR does the first.
It must also be a practice to involve HR in all consequent interactions with the prospective employee.
After all HR has the expertise in Behavioural Science scanning.
Looking forward to keeping in touch

Hi,


In the Employee Selection process, there will be two kind of fitments.


Candidate - Job Fitment

Candidate - Organization Fitment


If we look at fitment, we will see three aspects -Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes or Personality Fitment. I think HR normally don’t play a major role in the assessment of first two areas. But third area require a lot of assessment. Because

- we know one employee Performance is not just depend on his Knowledge and Skills in today Team kind of environment . That require good EQ and Social Quotient also. I feel HR can contribute in this area. Because Organization expect HR should have sound knowledge Individual and Organizational Behavioral Knowledge where we can assess candidates personality skills to fit to the team, to the boss and Organization

- Understanding Candidates Career aspirations ,what Organizations can provide and aligning both are very vital. For that we have to clearly understand Business Model, Goals, Organizational Life Cycle and Organizational Culture a lot

- HR as Sales man role.We have to sell a realistic dream career to the candidate. That’s makes difference

- Aligning Organizational Cultural values to the candidates Value system

- Finally but important factor Fair Compensation Negotiation

I feel above are few major reasons why HR have to see
