Being an HR Assistant at a Company Your Relative Works At

Hi, everyone! I just have a quick question (asking on behalf of a friend) and wanted to know what your thoughts on the matter are. My friend is looking to apply for a position as an HR Assistant at a local company. However, their parent is a member of the executive team within this company. I know this can be tailored specifically to a certain company/sector/industry, however, what would you thoughts be on the matter? A big NO, or would it make much of a difference? Many thanks!

  • Sounds like it depends on your friend's feelings or how she feels she will be perceived if she were successful.

    There's a big difference between applying for a role and having it handed to you. I had an HR Director once that gave 2 or 3 roles to the same family member, one of the roles was on heavily inflated pay as well that couldn't be reasonably justified.
