I'm a Senior HR Specialist, so I think I can answer your question. You need to differentiate between the hierarchy of HR jobs, and the fields within HR. The main fields are:
- Recruiting
- Training
- Compensation/Benefits/Pension
- Health & Safety
- Employee Relations
- Sometimes HRIS (although this is usually part of the IT department more so than HR)
Job titles that are not field-specific (like HR Generalist, HR Manager, HR Director, VP of HR) usually manage multipe fields.
