HR Generalist or HR Manager

Job ID#: 42105

HR Generalist/Talent Success – up to 80K with 3 years’ experience OR
HR Manager/Talent Success – up to 100K with 4-7 years’ experience

**IMPORTANT – have excellent tenure, be AI savvy and passionate, and come from a small to mid-size company; 3-7 years’ max experience
We’re looking for a Talent Success/HR team member to own the employee experience from sourcing through onboarding and beyond.
This is a hands-on, tech-forward role for someone who enjoys both the  people side and the data side of HR . You’ll lead full-cycle recruiting, partner with managers and leadership, build talent pipelines, improve onboarding, and use HR technology, analytics, automation, and AI to make our people processes smarter and more effective.
We’re a small, growing AI real estate company preparing for its next stage of growth and working toward becoming a public company. You’ll have the opportunity to help build the HR infrastructure and talent organization that will support that growth.
This is  not a narrow HR role . We need someone who is comfortable tackling both strategic initiatives and detailed administrative work—and who naturally thinks, “I’ll figure it out.”
What You’ll Do

• Own full-cycle recruiting from sourcing and screening through offers, onboarding, and early employee integration.
• Partner with hiring managers to define needs, develop recruiting strategies, and drive hiring processes.
• Build creative talent pipelines using traditional and AI-enabled sourcing.
• Represent and sell the company to candidates, schools, professional networks, and recruiting communities.
• Design and improve onboarding, including 30/60/90-day expectations and first-30-day integration.
• Support benefits, time off, employee relations, HR administration, and other employee lifecycle needs.
• Use HRIS, ATS, analytics, and AI tools to improve recruiting, reporting, workflows, and decision-making.
• Track talent metrics such as time-to-fill, pipeline health, turnover, candidate experience, and onboarding effectiveness.
• Build automations and scalable processes that improve efficiency and accuracy.
• Support culture, engagement, employer brand, compliance, and special projects.
• Jump into tasks outside traditional HR responsibilities when the business needs it.

What We’re Looking For

• 3–4+ years of broad HR generalist and full-cycle recruiting experience , preferably in a small or mid-sized company.
• Strong experience across the employee lifecycle, including recruiting, onboarding, benefits, time off, and employee support.
• Experience partnering with hiring managers and business leaders.
• Strong talent pipeline development and candidate relationship skills.
• Experience with HRIS/ATS platforms; ADP, Paylocity, or Ashby is a plus.
• Familiarity with HR analytics, AI-enabled recruiting, and process automation.
• Excellent communication, organization, and attention to detail.
• Strong computer, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Working knowledge of employment laws and HR best practices.
• Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business Administration, or related field required; HR certification is a plus.

We value broad hands-on experience in a smaller organization over highly specialized experience in a large, siloed HR environment.
Who You Are
You’re  smart, hungry, capable, and personable . You have grit and gusto, enjoy learning, and want great mentorship.
You’re comfortable moving from recruiting a senior candidate to building a spreadsheet, solving an HR issue, improving a workflow, or researching something you’ve never encountered before.
You don’t ask, “Is this my job?” You ask, “What needs to get done?”
If you want to  wear a lot of hats, learn quickly, use technology intelligently, and have a meaningful impact , we’d like to meet you.
