Employment Prospects
Employers
Human resources consultants are employed by consulting firms of all sizes (from industry leader Mercer LLC to small “mom and pop” shops with only a handful of employees). They also work for government agencies, nonprofits, and any other organization that needs assistance with human resources issues. About 14 percent of management consultants are self-employed.
Starting Out
Larger HR consulting firms such as Mercer LLC and Aon recruit on college campuses, while others prefer to find and screen candidates via their Web sites. Internships provide a good way to obtain experience and get your "foot in the door" at a company. Other useful job-search resources include social media, professional associations, career fairs, and consulting job sites.
