Job Description

POSITION OBJECTIVE

The HR Generalist — Talent Acquisition, Sourcing and Recruitment Focus is responsible for supporting full-cycle recruiting, proactive sourcing, candidate pipeline development, hiring manager coordination, interview process management, and workforce planning support for Corporate Human Resources. The role is designed to strengthen in-house recruiting capacity, reduce reliance on external agencies, improve time-to-fill for difficult-to-fill roles, and support workforce continuity in response to current requisition volume, retirement-risk exposure, and business hiring needs.

This position will also serve as a hybrid HR Generalist by supporting related HR functions, including onboarding, employee relations coordination, HRBP support, immigration process coordination, compliance documentation, manager support, and Corporate Learning & Development follow-up, as needed. The role requires strong recruiting discipline, sound HR judgment, effective communication, attention to detail, and the ability to balance high-volume sourcing needs with broader HR operational support.

3. Hiring Manager Partnership and Recruiting Process Discipline

Responsible for maintaining consistent communication with hiring managers, ensuring timely feedback, supporting interview scheduling, coordinating next steps, and reinforcing agreed-upon recruiting timelines.

Responsible for providing general HR support as needed, including employee relations coordination, manager coaching support, documentation follow-up, policy interpretation, onboarding coordination, performance management support, and escalation of employee matters to appropriate HR leadership.
