Human Resources Assistant (PST/Remote/Entry-level Opportunity)

Due to the great reception our services have received in the marketplace, HR Pals was named by Inc. magazine to its list of the fastest growing privately held companies in America in 2022 and 2023!

We are a team of HR, Payroll, Compliance, and Recruiting experts with multi-industry and multi-state experience. Over the past ten years, the Company has provided hundreds of businesses across America with customizable human resources, payroll, recruiting, and human capital management technology solutions. We believe in building deep relationships with our clients, providing a customer experience that feels like we're an embedded part of our clients' teams.

Position Overview

The HR Assistant supports a group of 5-10 of our clients across multiple industries. In this role, you will partner with our HR Managers to support day to day operations, implementation of supporting HR priorities, and be the primary HR point of contact for the client's employees.

The successful candidate will have the ability to multi-task, a "can-do" attitude, a strong attention to detail, and top-notch communication skills (both written and verbal).

Work Schedule/Expectations

This is a remote, work from home position.

Although there is inherent schedule flexibility built into the role, it is expected that the HR Assistant be on call and available to clients as needed. Although this typically involves working during typical business hours, on occasion the HR Assistant may be asked to support client needs early in the morning or evenings. It is imperative that clients feel supported and that they can contact the HR Assistant anytime and get a very quick response (ideally immediately, but no greater than 2 hours). Customer focus and responsiveness is a must in this position.
