This role is ideal for someone with strong communication and coordination skills who enjoys supporting others, managing details, and ensuring an exceptional experience from offer to start date.

• Deliver a professional, consistent, and high-touch candidate experience through phone and email communication
• Maintain accurate onboarding records and documentation
• • Respond to standard employee inquiries; escalate complex issues appropriately
• Support unemployment claims, employment verifications, and compliance tracking
• Assist with benefits enrollment, onboarding materials, and payroll support as needed
• Answer inbound phone lines and greet building visitors professionally
• Manage general office support tasks including supply ordering
• Handle sensitive information with confidentiality and discretion

What We’re Looking For:

• 1–3 years of experience in onboarding, recruiting coordination, or customer-facing administrative roles
• Bachelor’s degree preferred but not required
• Clear, friendly, and professional communication style
• Organized and responsive; able to manage multiple priorities without losing track of details
• Someone who takes pride in being the “go-to” person to keep people informed and processes on track
• Strong customer service skills and comfort working with candidates and employees over phone/email
• Ability to work collaboratively across departments and take ownership of daily responsibilities
