Key Duties

• Support employee recordkeeping across the employee lifecycle, including processing status changes and maintaining electronic personnel files.
• Handle end-to-end recruitment activities, from job posting through pre-employment screening.

A high school diploma or equivalent is required. A bachelor’s degree in HR or a related field is preferred, though 2 to 5 years of comparable experience may be accepted instead of a degree.

Applicants should have strong experience with Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Prior use of HRIS platforms, especially ADP, is strongly preferred, along with familiarity with ATS tools and project management systems such as Monday.com, Smartsheet, or Asana.

The role calls for a dependable team player who can work in a fast-paced environment, manage deadlines, protect confidential information, and communicate clearly and professionally. A valid driver’s license approved for airline travel and/or a valid passport is desirable but not required.
