What are the skills needed to be an HR Assistant?

The skills needed to be an HR Assistant will depend upon the needs of the client. Some companies will have an experienced HR team and therefore the level of experience and qualifications might be minimal, even a college leaver with the right attitude who they can train. Smaller companies with no or little HR structure might insist on a CIPD qualification with some proven HR work experience. Softer skills are extremely valuable at this level which include strong attention to detail, discretion, excellent communication skills and the ability to work well with others.
