Problem: In the recruitment and selection of HR professionals, what is the value of HR certification (PHR, SPHR, and GPHR) to employers and to HR professionals? Should certification as a BFOQ be included in the job descriptions of HR generalists and HR directors? If so, what level of certification should be required for each position? If you do not believe certification is necessary, be sure to fully justify your position.
Make sure references are included as well.
