- Maintain applicant tracking systems (ATS) and ensure accurate candidate documentation
- Support and adhere to all Talent Acquisition SOP's outlined by Corporate HR
- Coordinate and attend hiring events, job fairs, and workforce development initiatives
- Establish and maintain world class levels of service for hiring teams.
- Ensure all hiring practices comply with EEOC and federal/state employment laws
Onboarding & New Hire Coordination
- Coordinate new hire orientation logistics and documentation
- Prepare offer letters, onboarding packets, and pre-employment requirements
- Facilitate background checks, drug screenings, and employment verification
- Ensure timely system entry (HRIS/payroll) and badge/access setup
- Partner with supervisors to ensure smooth onboarding and training alignment
HR Administrative Support
- Maintain employee records and ensure compliance with documentation standards
- Assist with benefits enrollment, employee inquiries, and HR communications
- Support payroll processing by verifying new hire and status change information
- Track attendance, turnover metrics, and recruitment KPIs
- Assist in audits, compliance reporting, and internal investigations as needed
Employee Relations Support
- Serve as a point of contact for employee questions and concerns
- Escalate complex issues to HR leadership as appropriate
- Support disciplinary documentation and performance management processes
Qualifications (education, experience, skills, personal attributes):
Education & Experience
- Minimum - Associate's (Bachelor's degree preferred) in Human Resources, Business Administration, or equivalent experience
- 1-3 years of experience in high volume recruiting, HR administration, or talent acquisition
