People are Microsoft's greatest asset. Human Resources is responsible for identifying, hiring, and retaining this gifted intellectual talent, as well as developing and administering Microsoft's generous compensation and benefits programs in order to create a quality employee experience. We help maintain Microsoft's fulfilling work environment, which is a catalyst for great achievements.

Human Resources ensures that a diverse range of candidates is considered for opportunities. We believe that hiring exceptional, diverse talent gives Microsoft unlimited potential. The result is enhanced product development and employee performance, as well as a connection with communities everywhere.

Our staffing professionals are adept at spotting talent and potential, not just knowledge. We aim to hire people who are smart, work hard, and get the right things done. Doing so requires staffing professionals to take a long-term view — they look for people who demonstrate the potential for ongoing success at Microsoft, as opposed to simply filling an immediate and specific need.

Staffing seeks to hire talented people who are passionate about their work. This passion translates directly into products and services that enable Microsoft customers to do their very best.
