People Operations & Talent Specialist

People Operations & Talent Specialist We are looking for an unusual kind of people operations professional to join us for approximately 4 months: someone with a foundation in human behavior—psychology, behavioral science, human development, or organizational psychology—who is deeply curious about what makes people excellent and keeps organizations running smoothly. It is a hybrid of talent intelligence, applied psychology, and core People Operations. You will split your time between two critical pillars: executing a modern, AI‑driven recruiting strategy to find high‑potential growth talent, and managing the essential day‑to‑day HR operations that keep our team compliant, aligned, and moving forward. If you are fascinated by human nature, love pattern recognition, and possess the operational execution to run airtight HR processes, we want to talk to you. This is a temporary role estimated at 4 months with a potential to be long‑term. What You’ll Do Pillar 1: Talent Intelligence & Strategic Sourcing Use LinkedIn Recruiter, databases, and cutting‑edge AI tools to identify and engage high‑potential talent for sales, business development, and operations. Look beyond the resume to assess candidates on core traits: curiosity, drive, grit, emotional intelligence, and learning speed. Craft highly personalized, compelling outreach campaigns that cut through the noise and convert passive candidates. Build repeatable recruiting infrastructure, including scorecards, rubrics, and automated sourcing workflows. Pillar 2: Core People Operations Own and execute end‑to‑end payroll processing and oversee benefit changes for our small US team. Oversee and refine company‑wide communication updates, ensuring clarity, consistency, and alignment with our culture. Act as the trusted, practical point of contact for employee relations as they arise, resolving issues with high judgment and discretion. Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Psychology, or a related field. Experience in a high‑growth startup environment is preferred. Familiarity with modern HR tech stacks, ATS platforms, and data enrichment tools. Strong interest in organizational psychology, performance coaching, or leadership development. Strong problem‑solving and decision‑making abilities, with a data‑driven mindset. Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion. What Success Looks Like Consistently identify and engage high‑performing candidates that traditional sourcing methods miss. Leave our recruiting and people operations systems more automated, scalable, and measurable than you found them. US payroll and benefits run flawlessly, and employee relations are handled proactively and compliantly to maintain a great company culture. #J-18808-Ljbffr Greengrowthcpas
