We are seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented HR & Recruiting Coordinator to join our team at our South San Francisco fulfillment center.

What You'll Own

1. Hourly Recruiting & Onboarding

• Screen & Conduct in-person screens to assess reliability, attitude, and fit, and coordinate interviews for the Warehouse Manager.

• Scheduling: Coordinate interviews onsite and keep the process moving with short lag times.

• Onboarding & Orientation: Lead weekly day-one orientations, set new hires up in our systems, deliver basic safety orientation, and welcome each new team member warmly.

• Timekeeping & Attendance: Maintain accurate daily hourly timekeeping and attendance records and support break-schedule administration.

• Records & documentation: Maintain organized, current employee files and standard workplace records as part of routine HR operations.

• Floor presence: Spend active time on the warehouse floor, close to the team you support.

What We Are Looking For:

• Experience: 3-4 years of experience in HR administration, recruiting, or operations support in a warehouse, fulfillment, retail, or hospitality environment.

• Language: English and Spanish strongly preferred

• Attention to detail: You take pride in clean records, organized files, and tasks that stay on track.

• Communication: Excellent interpersonal skills.

• Discipline: You hold a standard. You are comfortable saying no to a candidate who does not clear the bar, and you do not soften criteria under pressure to fill a shift.

• Adaptability: A roll-up-your-sleeves startup mindset. You move easily from screening candidates to organizing records to walking the floor.

Why Join Us?

• Growth: Learn the ropes of HR and recruiting in a highly successful, growing startup, with opportunities to fast-track your career.
