A wide range of federal positions centered on managing the workforce that drives government operations fall under the GS-0200 Human Resources job category. Among the jobs in this group are Human Resources Specialists (GS-0201) and HR Assistants (GS-0203), who oversee hiring, classification, employee relations, benefits, labor relations, and performance management. These experts are crucial in ensuring adherence to the merit system’s tenets, coordinating HR systems with agency missions, and cultivating a diverse, productive workforce. The category’s broad range of personnel and industrial relations functions is reflected in the inclusion of Equal Employment Opportunity (GS-0260), Mediation (GS-0241), and Labor Management Relations (GS-0244) roles. These positions now heavily rely on automation and HR information systems, requiring both technical expertise and a deep understanding of federal HR regulations.
