Help Shape the Future of a Growing Organization

Are you a recruiter who thrives on finding exceptional talent but also enjoys being involved in the broader employee experience? We are seeking a Talent Acquisition & HR Associate to join a dynamic and collaborative team during an exciting period of growth.

This role offers a unique opportunity to combine full-cycle recruiting expertise with hands-on exposure to core HR functions. Approximately 75% of your time will be dedicated to recruiting, while the remaining 25% will focus on HR operations, employee programs, onboarding, and HR initiatives that help create a positive and engaging workplace culture.

If you're passionate about connecting great people with great opportunities and enjoy contributing to impactful HR programs, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Partner closely with hiring managers to develop effective hiring strategies and candidate profiles
• Source top talent through LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, networking events, and strategic partnerships
• Screen, interview, and assess candidates while maintaining a high-quality candidate experience
• Coordinate interviews and guide hiring teams through the selection process
• Manage multiple open requisitions simultaneously while maintaining strong attention to detail
• Support diversity and inclusion recruiting initiatives
• Track recruiting metrics and provide hiring insights to stakeholders

Human Resources Support (25%)

• Assist with onboarding and offboarding activities
• Support HR data reporting and workforce analytics
• Respond to employee questions and assist with employee relations matters
• Contribute to performance management and talent development initiatives
• Support HR compliance, policies, and documentation
• Maintain employee records and HR system data integrity
• Help drive programs that foster an inclusive and positive workplace culture
• Support compliance with federal, state, and local employment regulations

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, Psychology, or a related field
• 2+ years of talent acquisition experience in a fast-paced environment
• Proven success managing 8+ open requisitions simultaneously
• Strong interviewing, candidate assessment, and shortlist development skills
• Experience using applicant tracking systems and sourcing platforms
• Proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter; SmartRecruiters experience is highly desirable
• Experience with HRIS platforms; ADP Workforce Now experience preferred
• Knowledge of HR best practices across employee relations, talent management, onboarding, and compliance
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret HR and recruiting data
• Excellent communication, organization, and stakeholder management skills
• Ability to build strong relationships across all levels of an organization
• Detail-oriented with exceptional time management and prioritization abilities
• Comfortable working in a collaborative, fast-moving environment

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Blend recruiting and HR experience in one impactful role
• Partner directly with hiring leaders and HR professionals
• Gain exposure to talent strategy, employee experience, and workforce planning
• Work in a collaborative, mission-driven environment
• Competitive $75,000–$85,000 annual salary. This is an exempt, salaried contract position paid on a weekly basis through TCWGlobal.
• Hybrid schedule offering flexibility and team collaboration
