not a lot of companies would have R&D. Only most of those Fortune 500 companies.

hr lol.. if recruitment is done by the dept itself will actually get better employee since they can assess the candidate better.. like finance dept recruit candidate for finance position themselves they know better how to assess and who to recruit.. just that many companies dont do this because they want the dept to focus on their core job functions.. also many hr function nowadays are outsourced liao
