Original job description

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. What You'll Be Doing Employee Support & HR Administration

  • Serve as a friendly first point of contact for employee questions related to HR policies, benefits, and routine processes
  • Manage HR inboxes, employee requests, and everyday administrative activities
  • 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
  • Generate reports and support HR data requests
  • 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
