People Services Generalist

People Services Generalist

At Chaffin Luhana, our work changes lives. We stand beside people during some of the hardest moments they will ever face and that requires a team built with care, discipline, and heart.

We're hiring a People Services Generalist who believes hiring is not transactional it's cultural stewardship. Someone who understands that onboarding is not orientation it's acceleration. Someone who holds the line on standards while leading with compassion.

What You'll Do

Recruit with Compassion and Authenticity. You'll lead full-cycle recruiting for priority roles, listening deeply to hiring leaders, defining true success profiles, and selecting candidates based on capability not charisma. You'll protect our culture by ensuring every hire aligns with our values and performance standards.

Operate as One Team In It Together. You'll partner with managers as a trusted advisor, not an order-taker. You'll train leaders on structured interviewing, elevate evaluation standards, and ensure we make disciplined, aligned decisions.

Deliver Excellence Without Paralysis. You'll build proactive pipelines, reduce time-to-fill, and move roles forward with urgency without sacrificing quality-of-hire. You understand that doing it right and doing it efficiently are not opposites.

Drive Innovative Growth. You'll strengthen our recruiting and onboarding systems using modern tools, data, and AI-driven insights. You look for ways to remove friction, improve clarity, and elevate the employee experience.

Be Results Driven. You'll design and deliver structured, high-energy onboarding and training that shortens ramp time, clarifies expectations, and builds accountability. You measure impact not attendance. You care about retention, productivity, and performance because our clients deserve the best team possible.
