Sixty-five percent of respondents said that HR certification is preferred at their organization, as it signals that a candidate is dedicated to the profession. In select industries, the research pointed to high rates of preference. The mining, healthcare and chemical industries (75 percent, 72 percent and 71 percent respectively) said HR certification was preferred for some or all HR positions.
