HR people...

[FlipFlop]

Anyone on here a HR manager, or seriously involved in recruitment?

Got a qu or 2 I want to ask....

 

[Dixie]

Loads of 'em - mostly plying their trade in USA, but many with a deep understanding of Scottish issues, for reasons that may become clear ...

I'm a HR Director - have 3 HRM's working for me and a recruitment specialist - happy to help if I can and if i cant one of the people working for me who actually has a clue will be able to help.


PM me if more appropriate.

 

[SimonSmith]

Yes.

Again, PM me if you want to take it offline.

I have a question.

Is it "I'm a HR Director" or "I'm an HR Director"

I know what it sounds like but how do you write it?

Sorry for the hi-jack but believe me, if it's HR related, then it'll be more interesting than FlipFlop's question(s).

LL-P It's apparently correct both ways - 'H' is a silent vowel.

Cheers.

"H" is always silent up 'ere.

At risk of being labelled a pedant - "vowel"? Down 'ere it's called a silent consonant.

But it's behaving like a vowel........ Hence silent vowel.
Bit like Y in Cry.

So it's the silent aitch at the start of the "aitch" in "aitch are" that draws the "an"...
