We're seeking an HR Assistant who is organized, people-focused, and eager to learn. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys supporting others, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and wants hands-on experience across recruiting, onboarding, employee support, HR systems, and employee engagement.
You'll be a key member of the HR team, helping ensure employees have a positive experience from their first day through every stage of their career.

- Assist employees with HR systems and technology questions
- Maintain confidential employee information and records with accuracy and professionalism
- Support employees and leaders across multiple locations and states
Recruiting & Onboarding
- Coordinate onboarding activities from offer acceptance through a new employee's first day
- Schedule interviews, background checks, drug screens, and other pre-employment requirements
- Prepare offer letters, onboarding packets, and employment documentation
- Process I-9s, E-Verify transactions, and compliance-related paperwork
- Help deliver a seamless and welcoming onboarding experience
HR Systems & Recordkeeping
- Maintain employee records and personnel files within Dayforce and other HR systems
- Process employee updates including transfers, promotions, status changes, and separations
- Assist with auditing employee files and maintaining compliance documentation

- Ensure information remains accurate, organized, and up to date
Employee Engagement & Special Projects
- Support employee recognition programs, wellness initiatives, and company events
- Assist with employee communications and engagement activities
- Participate in projects that improve processes and the employee experience
- Support HR initiatives focused on culture, communication, and organizational growth
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Exposure to multiple areas of Human Resources
- Strong opportunity for career growth and advancement
- Collaborative and supportive team environment
- Meaningful work that directly impacts employees
- Variety in your day with opportunities to learn new skills and responsibilities
- Opportunity to gain experience with recruiting, onboarding, HR operations, employee engagement, and HR technology
- Strong organizational and time management skills
- Excellent communication and customer service abilities
- Ability to handle confidential information with discretion
- Detail-oriented with a high level of accuracy
- Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
- Positive attitude and willingness to learn
- Team-oriented with a desire to help others succeed
- Previous administrative, customer service, recruiting, or HR experience
- Experience using Microsoft Office and business systems
- Exposure to an HRIS platform such as Dayforce is a plus
- Experience supporting multi-state operations is helpful
- Exposure to union environments is beneficial but not required
