<p>Chris Preble from Robert Half is working with a Syracuse client of his that has a hybrid accounting/HR role. The HR work is not advanced. It's basically to make up for the fact there's not enough accounting work to make it 40 hours so they're splitting up the role 50/50 ish between accounting and HR.
