Human Resources Generalist

HR Generalist

Be Part of Something Radically Different

At Holon Health, we don't do "business as usual." We're a trailblazing healthcare startup reimagining what it means to care, for our clients and our people. We provide whole-person care to justice-involved individuals living with Substance Use Disorder (SUD), and we do it with deep compassion, community wisdom, and an unshakable belief in second chances.

Our approach throws out the playbook. We integrate medical, behavioral, and social care. We prioritize prevention and recovery. We treat clients like people, not checkboxes. And just as importantly, we know that our team can only care for others if they're cared for themselves. That's why we lead with flexibility, trust, and a culture built on well-being, inclusion, and respect.

If you're energized by meaningful work and want to feel good about how you spend your days, read on.

About the Role

Holon Health is seeking an experienced HR Generalist with strong recruiting chops to support our growing workforce across the western United States. This role pairs full-cycle talent acquisition with hands-on generalist support, and it exists to give team members in the Mountain, Arizona, and Pacific time zones a responsive People partner in their own workday.

You will own recruiting for western roles end to end, guide managers and new hires through onboarding and compliance, and serve as a first point of contact for employee questions and relations matters. You will also help build the People processes and structure needed to support our continued growth.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can recruit with skill, exercise sound judgment on people matters, and bring order to a growing, multistate organization.

What You'll Do

Talent Acquisition and Full-Cycle Recruiting

• Own full-cycle recruiting for western roles, including peer support (recovery coaches), case management, FP&A, growth, product and clinical positions.
• Partner with hiring managers on role intake, requisition setup, and interview structure so expectations are clear before a search opens.
• Source, screen, and assess candidates, and coordinate interviews and scheduling with a smooth, respectful candidate experience.
• Build and maintain pipelines for recurring and high-volume roles.
• Extend offers, coordinate pre-hire steps, and keep candidates informed throughout the process.

Onboarding and Employee Lifecycle

• Guide new western hires through onboarding, including Paylocity setup, documentation, and first-week logistics.
• Complete I-9 verification and E-Verify steps in line with federal and state requirements, coordinating authorized representatives for remote hires as needed.
• Deliver a clear, welcoming new-hire experience through the first 90 days.
• Manage offboarding and exit steps with care and consistency.

Employee Relations and People Support

• Serve as a first point of contact for western employees on policies, benefits questions, and day-to-day People needs.
• Support employee relations matters with documentation, follow-through, and sound judgment, partnering with People Operations and Operations leadership.
• Coach managers on feedback, performance conversations, and corrective action, grounded in a trauma-informed, respectful approach.

Compliance and Multistate Support

• Maintain compliance with employment laws across western states, including wage and hour, leave, pay transparency, and required postings.
• Support state workforce and program compliance requirements, including in Arizona.
• Assist with audits, recordkeeping, and accurate employee data in Paylocity.

Benefits, Leave, and People Programs

• Support benefits enrollment, leave of absence (including parental and medical), and accommodation requests with discretion and clarity.
• Contribute to engagement, retention, and internal mobility efforts for the western team.

Payroll Backup Support

• Serve as a cross-trained backup for payroll continuity when the Payroll Specialist is out, helping keep the biweekly cycle on track.
• Monitor the payroll calendar, send pre-processing reminders and review and prepare payroll inputs for accuracy, completeness and appropriate approvals.
• Coordinate with Accounting and a designated payroll approver so that processing and submission always include a second reviewer, preserving appropriate separation of duties.
• Escalate complex or time-sensitive payroll matters to the Payroll Specialist and Accounting.

Process Development and Continuous Improvement

• Develop and maintain People SOPs, templates, checklists, and workflows, including in Asana.
• Strengthen recruiting, onboarding, and generalist practices as the organization grows into additional states.
• Identify recurring questions and recommend improvements that make People processes easier for employees and managers.

Requirements

What You'll Bring

• Sound employee relations judgment, discretion, and a strong commitment to confidentiality.
• Clear, approachable communication and the ability to coach managers and support employees with empathy.
• The ability to work independently, follow issues through to resolution, and build structure in a growing organization.
• Based in the Mountain, Arizona, or Pacific time zone.

Nice to Have
