Introduction
Human Resources as a Core Competence Competencies are basic qualifications necessary to achieve human resources goals. In the human resources field, actual knowledge of human resources processes is the only discipline-specific competency. Businesses consider necessary HR competencies as communication skills, negotiation skills, qualified recruitment, and strategic improvement of the perception of human capital value, human resources knowledge, effective training, ethical business practices and integrity. Communication skills -- written and verbal -- are basic competencies all human resources staff must have. Communication is fundamental to serving the needs of internal customers as well as external customers. Within the context of HR, internal customers are current employees and external customers are applicants, job seekers, former employees and human resource services providers such as outsourcing agents.

Negotiation Skills: Effective human resource managers have communication and relationship skills that allow them to negotiate win-win situations for the company and the employees they hire. Whether large or small, each business has certain constraints on its budget for salary, benefits and placement for employees. Workers too, have certain needs and minimums that must be met.
Qualified Recruitment: In human resources, qualifying is the process of narrowing down
