THE OPPORTUNITY

Gallant Business Solutions is recruiting an HR Assistant to support a local county government client. This is a hands-on, front-facing role for someone who can combine dependable administrative execution with sound judgment, strong customer service, and a genuine interest in growing within Human Resources.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Support HR teams such as Benefits, Pensions & Retirement Services, Classification & Compensation, or Onboarding based on operational needs.
• Respond professionally to employee and retiree calls, emails, and walk-in questions; research routine issues, document actions, and escalate appropriately.
• Provide administrative and project support, including scheduling meetings, preparing materials, maintaining records, updating data, and tracking tasks through completion.
• Assist with benefits, retirement, onboarding, open enrollment, employee programs, and other HR initiatives.
• Handle confidential employee information with discretion, accuracy, and a documentation-first mindset.
• Identify process gaps, bring practical ideas forward, and help the team improve consistency and service delivery.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Minimum 2 years of Human Resources experience and 2 years of customer service experience; high school diploma required.
• Strong Microsoft Office skills and comfort learning HRIS, benefits, payroll, pension, or case-tracking systems.
• Excellent organization, attention to detail, follow-through, and ability to manage competing priorities in a busy office.
• Sound judgment: able to distinguish what can be resolved independently from what requires research or escalation.
• Professional, calm, service-oriented communication with employees, retirees, managers, and other stakeholders.
• Proactive mindset, dependable attendance, willingness to learn, and interest in building a longer-term career in HR or public service.

WHY THIS ROLE

This assignment offers direct exposure to public-sector HR operations and the opportunity to contribute to meaningful employee-facing programs. High-performing temporary team members may be considered for future County opportunities when positions and funding are available; conversion is not guaranteed.
