Referring to the Human Revolution, we must mention stages as below:

• HR 2.0: The electrical equipment started being used in HR jobs for the first time, making work streamlined. This was also the period when HR began to develop hard skills in recruiting and training personnel.
• HR 3.0: Internet appears and is gradually applied in HR activities, but it is only considered as a support tool behind “big stage”, not a useful solution.
