Human Resources Specialist

Job Description

About us

The Revel Group is four event companies that work as one. Revel Global Events produces, Revel Decor designs and builds, Limelight caters, and Revel Space hosts at Revel Motor Row in the South Loop. Between us, we take an event from the first conversation to the last load out, and clients come to us for the “never been done before.”

Behind all of it are about four hundred people, and that number grows and shrinks with the season. Hiring them well, paying them right, and making sure they are supported is the job we are hiring for.

The role

• HR Specialist. Full time, on site in Chicago.
• You will be the person our people come to, across all four brands, and you will work alongside our Chief Partnerships and People Officer every week. This is a seat with real ownership, and you will never be left alone with a hard call.

What you will own

• Onboarding across four brands, so new hires have what they need before day one rather than on day three.
• The handbook and policy library, including knowing which version is actually current.
• The people side of payroll for all four brands, run together with our accounting team.
• Benefits, from enrollment through the questions people are a little embarrassed to ask.
• Employee relations, as the first call when someone has a question or a concern.
• Hiring support, from writing the posting to setting the bar for what a great hire looks like.
• Records, compliance and training, which is the least glamorous part of this list and the one that protects everybody.

What you bring

• Real experience running day to day HR rather than assisting with it.
• Comfort in an HRIS. We run Paylocity, and already knowing it is a plus rather than a requirement.
• Working knowledge of employment regulations, and the instinct to ask when you are not sure.
• Follow through people can count on, because most of this job is doing what you said you would do, on time, every time.
• Discretion, because you will see everything.
• Hospitality or event experience is a plus, since our workforce does not behave like an office.
• Spanish is a real plus. A large share of our team speaks it.
• A degree in HR or business, or the experience that taught you the same things.

The details

• Chicago, on site. Full time.
• $60,000 to $70,000. Where you land in that range, and what we end up calling this role, depends on what you bring.
