The Company

We are a small team of HR Geeks who work with small to medium-sized businesses in the Pacific Northwest. Our clients are often looking for guidance on navigating the world of Human Resources such as developing handbooks, job descriptions, employee relations, training and all the other people-related challenges that inherently pop up in our days. We geek out on collaborating with owners and managers to develop compliant, harmonious work cultures that fit their company needs. This is what we do, and we love it!

• Directly searching for high-caliber talent to join our client's teams.
• Sourcing data for compensation analysis and pay banding.
• Submitting completed various state unemployment claims.
• Developing presentation slide decks in PowerPoint on various HR topics.
• Collecting timecards and payroll data.
• Researching and staying current on state employment laws.
• Creating Stay Interview questionnaires, as well as Employee Satisfaction surveys.

During the first six months, this role will shadow our HR consultants to learn the ins and outs of our consulting methods, preparing them to transition into developing their consulting relationship with the client - eventually leading the calls.

• Seeks out feedback and growth opportunities;
• Can adapt to various communication styles with relative ease;
• And can pivot and flow with changes in the day and week.
