Partners and Recruiters by HR Staff

Human Resources (HR) at the University of Arkansas plays a crucial role in facilitating the institution's foundational compliance, academic and administrative functions. It encompasses a wide range of responsibilities aimed at supporting staff, faculty, student workers, and university administration, including collaborating in a shared governance model to ensure our campus maintains an environment of engagement and belonging for everyone. 

HR is involved in recruiting and hiring talented individuals, managing employee benefits and compensation, and ensuring compliance with employment and labor laws and university policies. We further offer strategies to help colleges, departments, and units flourish by handling employee relations, providing guidance on conflict resolution, performance management, and creating numerous professional development opportunities. 

By providing access to resources and opportunities for growth, and continuous learning, HR helps foster an environment of collaboration, and innovation, contributing to the university’s purpose to advance research excellence, ensure student success, be an employer of choice, and ultimately enrich the lives of its employees, students, community, and future generations of Arkansans.

To find the HR partner and/or the Recruiter assigned to your unit/department, see the Partners and Recruiters by Department list.
