An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

コンサルティング会社等において組織や人材に関してコンサルティングを行う。
 組織や人材のマネジメント、人事労務管理に関する専門家といえる。コンサルティングの対象としては、組織開発(意識や風土の改革)、人材開発(能力開発、人材育成)、人事制度、報酬や退職金の制度設計などがあり、そのための情報調査(報酬水準や動向を調べる)を行う場合もある。
 具体的な仕事の流れは、まず顧客(クライアント)となりそうな会社でニーズや問題点を聞き取り(初期調査)、コンサルティングの企画書を提案する(見積を含む)。提案が受入れられたらコンサルティング契約を締結し、コンサルティングを始める。
 コンサルティングでは数名のチームを編成することもある。顧客の意向や目的をよく知るために、顧客とのコミュニケーションを深め、また、経営者や社員からの聞き取り(インタビュー)や顧客の内部資料などから現状の分析を中心とする予備調査を行う。
 この予備調査に基づき、顧客の考えや目的を再確認し、コンサルティングの基本的方向を示す中間報告を行う。中間報告により確認された目的、現状の分析を踏まえ、課題の原因究明と対策や解決策を検討し、最終報告としてまとめる。
 最終報告に沿った施策を実行するため、具体的な計画やマニュアルなどを作成することもある。また、施策を進めるために社員への研修を行うことともある。
 その後、定期的に聞取りや職場の訪問を行い、計画の実施状況を把握し、アドバイスや支援を行うこともある。

Guidance from job tag (Japanese)
この仕事に就くためには、特に学歴や資格は必要とされないが、経営・経済・法律系の大学・大学院卒がほとんどである。一般企業の人事部や人材ビジネス会社などに入社し5~10年程度経験後、コンサルティング会社に入り、コンサルタントとなるのが一般的である。

 仕事にも役立つため、社会保険労務士、中小企業診断士の資格や、MBA(Master of Business Administration:経営学修士)を持っている者も多い。
 コンサルタントとしての経験を積み、他のコンサルティング会社に移ったり、独立開業する場合がある。事業には人脈が必要であり、独立開業した後も、人脈を広げていく努力が欠かせない。中には大学の教員になり、経営やマネジメントを教える者もいる。
 論理的思考力、コミュニケーションスキル、また、経営、経済、法律などの専門知識が必要である。変化のスピードが加速しており、遅滞なく知識やスキルを更新していくことも求められる。
