HR Generalist, Consulting (Flexible Hours)

Hire Ventures is a boutique human resource consulting firm headquartered in Atlanta with offices at Atlanta Tech Village in Buckhead. We specialize in providing fractional, project-based and advisory HR & Recruiting Consulting services to small and medium-sized companies that while small, often face HR complexities due to being geographically dispersed or in growth/transition. Since 2001, we have been helping businesses navigate the complexities of HR and recruiting, focusing on helping our clients to attract and retain top talent in an ever-changing world.

 As we continue to grow, we are expanding our Human Resource Consulting team and looking to hire an HR Generalist to join our team and support engagements in combination with a Senior HR Consultant. We’re looking for a proven self-starter who is passionate and experienced in various administrative areas of Human Resources (compliance, payroll, benefits etc). This hybrid role is based in Atlanta, blending work from our office and remote. While hours may be flexible, this is not a side hustle and cannot be done outside of normal business hours or in addition to another full-time job. 

What you will be doing:

• Serve as an extension of our clients’ in-house teams, providing support across the employee lifecycle, including on & off boarding, benefits administration, payroll administration, leave management and performance management.

• Assist with HR audits, compliance and HR administration, building efficiencies around hiring, onboarding, employee development, compensation, benefits, and performance management.

• Handle tasks such as payroll processing, benefits administration, leave management and employee exits.

• Project-based work like crafting Employee Handbooks, supporting HR Audits and HR Investigations in partnership with a senior HR consultant.

• HR is ever-changing, and many of our clients are geographically dispersed with employees in multiple states, which means we must stay up to date on state and federal employment laws to ensure client compliance.

• Contribute to the Hire Ventures blog, website content, and social media platforms, showcasing thought leadership in HR.

• Participate in team meetings and work closely with other consultants to learn, share knowledge and strengthen the Hire Ventures brand. Promote our story via LinkedIn and other platforms.

To be considered you must have the following:

• This position is located in Atlanta and will be a hybrid role, working out of our office at Atlanta Tech Village as well as virtually.
• Ideally a Bachelor’s degree in Business, Human Resources or relevant and equivalent experience
• HR Certification is a plus.
• Must have 3+ years of progressive and relevant HR experience 
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, be motivated, articulate and make sound decisions under the position guidelines - in a positive, results-driven and forward-thinking manner.
• Should have an active presence in the professional world, especially LinkedIn.

Additionally, the ideal candidate will have the following:

• Ability to communicate with a variety of people in a polite and professional manner, with high attention to detail.
• Exceptional written and oral communication skills, business writing knowledge a plus.
• Knowledge of human resources either from courses or working experience.
• Must be coachable and have a strong desire to learn with a growth mindset and love of technology.
• Be a good team player yet able to work independently with little instruction or supervision and with a high degree of trust.

Our most successful employees fit the following description:

• You are easy to work with, easy to manage and take pride in the work you do! You always do your best, the status quo isn’t acceptable…exceeding expectations is the norm.  You are generous in nature, you assume positive intent and care about those you work with.
