Recruitment/Hiring Analyst

Are you an organized, detail-driven professional who thrives on building order out of moving parts and wants your work to support something bigger than a balance sheet? As a Hiring Analyst with CAL FIRE's Northern Region, you'll step into an analyst role that directly supports the people side of one of California's most essential agencies. This position is built for someone who can juggle competing priorities, communicate complex information clearly, and keep accuracy at the center of everything they do. Your work helps move qualified candidates through the hiring process and into the field where they're needed most. This role is ideal for an early career analyst or experienced administrative professional ready to take on more responsibility. You'll support recruitment, classification review, application processing, and the documentation that keeps hiring moving on time and by the book. Adaptability matters here. So does the ability to break down complicated rules and explain them to people who need straight answers. This position is located in Redding, California and is a limited-term assignment that may extend up to 24 months or convert to permanent. The role may include occasional statewide and local travel, including overnight stays, and may require nights, weekends, or holidays when deadlines call for it. This is your chance to do meaningful administrative work inside an agency where every hire you help process becomes part of California's wildfire response and resource protection mission.
