Job Description

About Us

We are a fast-growing freight brokerage specializing in truckload, less-than-truckload (LTL), and specialized freight solutions. Our team connects shippers with reliable carriers across North America, delivering speed, transparency, and exceptional service in a dynamic, high-volume industry. We’re looking for a hands-on HR Generalist who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can support our people as we scale.

Role Overview

As an HR Generalist, you will serve as a trusted partner to managers and employees across the organization. You’ll handle the full employee lifecycle—from recruiting and onboarding through employee relations, performance management, and compliance—while helping shape a positive, high-performance culture in the freight brokerage industry.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the full recruitment cycle for sales, operations, carrier sales, and support roles, including sourcing, screening, interviewing, and coordinating offers.
• Design and execute onboarding programs that quickly ramp new hires into our fast-moving brokerage environment.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for employee relations issues, providing coaching, mediation, and guidance to managers and employees.
• Administer performance management processes, including goal setting, mid-year/year-end reviews, and performance improvement plans.
• Maintain and update employee records, HRIS data, and ensure compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws (including FLSA, FMLA, ADA, and wage & hour regulations relevant to the transportation/logistics sector).
• Support benefits administration, leave of absence management, and workers’ compensation claims.
• Partner with leadership on organizational development initiatives, culture-building activities, and employee engagement efforts.
• Assist with policy development, handbook updates, and training programs (e.g., compliance, anti-harassment, manager soft skills).
• Prepare HR metrics and reports (turnover, headcount, time-to-fill, engagement) to support data-driven decision making.
• Handle offboarding processes, including exit interviews and knowledge transfer.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or related field preferred.
• 3–5 years of progressive HR Generalist experience; experience in logistics, transportation, freight brokerage, or high-growth sales environments is a strong plus.
• Solid working knowledge of employment law and HR best practices.
• Experience with HRIS platforms (e.g., BambooHR, Workday, ADP, or similar) and applicant tracking systems.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to build trust across all levels of the organization.
• High degree of integrity, discretion, and professionalism when handling sensitive information.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, results-driven environment with shifting priorities.
• PHR, SHRM-CP, or similar certification preferred but not required.

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary + performance bonus potential
• Comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with company match)
• Paid time off and holidays
• Opportunities for professional development and career growth as the company scales
• Dynamic, entrepreneurial culture where your work directly impacts the business
