A virtual human resources professional performs a variety of HR responsibilities remotely. HR professionals include HR managers, specialists, assistants, clerks, coordinators, and planners. The specific duties for each of these jobs vary, but include such responsibilities as developing hiring and interviewing practices, ensuring the department complies with all hiring and employment practices, and coordinating payroll and benefits strategies between the HR department and other departments within the organization. As a telecommute worker, you perform these tasks mainly online and may use specific software or management platforms to track and coordinate other remote employees or workers at a physical office.
