The document discusses the differences between an HR professional and a recruiter. An HR professional manages broader human resource functions like strategic planning, policy formation, compensation, and employee relations. A recruiter focuses specifically on recruiting tasks like screening resumes, interviewing candidates, performing background checks, and maintaining relationships with clients and candidates. While recruiters work under HR and focus only on recruiting, HR professionals have a more diverse role encompassing the full employee life cycle and broader HR responsibilities.

6. Comparison
 A recruiter is someone who works under
the human resource team.There are also
cases where recruiters are not
permanent employees but are hired
by human resource department to recruit
people.
 A full-time recruiter does not have the
breadth of experience that an HR
professional does.

7.  Recruiters do not handle performance
issues, coach managers or tackle the many
other day-to-day nightmares matters
surrounding workplace.
 Great recruiters are relationship builders.
Whether they’re internal or external they
build a network of clients and candidates.
When done right, it’s a full-time job because
recruiters don’t stop working, even if their
company has no open positions.

8.  The recruiter does not create a job role
or fill the vacancy,whereas HR does.
 Recruiter looks after the reach of the job
role in the market which is allowed by the
HR department.
 Recruiter takes care of testing the
potential of the candidate, whereas an HR
allocates the recruiting resource to a role

9.  The recruiter will look after the entire
recruitment process in various stages,
whereas HR looks after the entire job
role in the employment period
 Training and development are looked
after by HR once the entire verification is
done by a recruiter

10.  Recruiters can be external employees or
even part time when selection and
recruitment process is needed
 HR takes care of appraisals, promotions
as well the further growth of the
employee in the organization recruited by
the HR

11.  Recruiter takes care of the document
verification, educating the clients about
the hr recruitment process throughout
the recruitment process designated by
the HR
 Job recruiters take care of the database of
the entire candidate applications received
by the organization and send only the
shortlisted ones to the HR

12.  Pay scale of the recruiter is designated
and fixed by the management and mostly
they are subdivisions of the HR
 Training of newly recruits or fresher's is a
job of HR.
 Maintaining life cycle of employee comes
under HR , Recruiters do not play any
role in here.

13. CONCLUSION
 Human resource is responsible for covering
every aspect related to recruiting and
managing staffs and thinking about their
welfare.
 At the same time, recruiter is responsible
for taking down interviews, choosing proper
candidates and making sure the candidate
was chosen is fit enough to adopt
themselves with the changing workstations.
Their importance is limited while the human
resource is diversified.

14.  Hiring an employee is never an easy task
for the organization as determines the
entire success of the organization.
 Both recruiters and the human resource
team are equally important for the
organization as they are the two separate
teams who are entirely responsible for
the outcomes of an employee.
