Virtual HR refers to the process of providing a range of options through the use of various types of technology to employees in order to connect them with HR services. It is managed through self-service platforms where employees can put data directly into them and skip the process of going to a third party for that action. Virtual HR is practiced due to its cost reduction impact, to gain competitive advantage and to share risks with an outsourced organization. Virtual HR functions include virtual recruiting, training and on-boarding.
