I think it's based more on a person's communication style. Most HR professionals are "responders" and "producers", which mean they respond better to the personal needs of others and manage/organize better. More woman are "responders", where as men are more likely to be "influencers" or "movers".

99% is too high, but there are a lot of women in that job.
HR is a "soft" job, and it suits a company to have a non threatening person in that job. Maybe they feel it might lesson the possibliy of sexual harassment claims as well.
I have minimal respect for that position. Its a job that a lot of people with minimal ambition seem to have.
There also seems to be more decisions made on paper than with people anymore, and I don't like that. Anybody can review resumes and pick the ones with the better "juice" on them. But it takes a real people person to be able to read between the lines and hire the right people.

Where did you get this stat? I will agree with you that in HR departments females make a large percentage of the workforce, but 99% is clearly exaggerated.
Please review your facts before making the above statement in public.

Simple. Because HR is a kaypo and busybody department. They look into your personal particulars and things like that. Women are the one who started being kaypo, then follow by men.Therefore, more women than men.

Because the field is predominated by woman, not many guys want to get into it.
