Human resource forms and documents are files used to recruit and manage company employees. The documents can help management evaluate candidates and rate performance and productivity levels. PDFSimpli can help HR departments create a series of forms and HR documents, potentially speeding up the creation process and improving workflows, making work processes more efficient.

Because human resource documents and forms run the gamut in employment topics, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to creating the forms. The primary objective of any HR document is clarity. Every HR member and company employee must understand the document's purpose and how to use it. Therefore, when writing an HR document, ensure all instructions and answers are clear and concise, with little room for interpretation.

Human resources forms cover a range of employment situations, from applications to evaluations. Despite the vast number of forms or documents, there are a few examples that seem universal across all industries and occupations. The primary human resources documents include:

Employment applications
New employee forms and checklists
Candidate evaluation forms
Performance review forms
Termination forms
