Head of Recruiting & HR

Amplēo HR is seeking an experienced HR professional to join our team as an HR Manager. You'll be embedded with multiple client organizations as their day-to-day HR lead, executing across the full employee lifecycle while building the instincts and client skills that define a great fractional HR professional.
This is not a support role. You own your clients' HR function. This role is for someone who genuinely wants to be a consultant, not an in-house HR leader at one company. You'll thrive on variety, autonomy, and the pace that comes with serving several clients at once. Most importantly, you'll embody Amplēo's core operating principle: a consultant the CEO never has to manage.
On any given day, you might be screening candidates for one client in the morning and coaching a manager through a difficult conversation for another in the afternoon. You own the full HR function for your assigned clients, from the first job posting to the final offboarding. HR Strategy & Analytics: Partner with client leadership to develop and implement HR strategies that align with their business goals. Use data to inform decisions and drive impactful change.
Talent Acquisition: Manage the full recruitment lifecycle, including job postings, screening, interview design, offer construction, and a smooth onboarding handoff.
Design and run onboarding programs, including custom 30/60/90 plans, that turn new hires into contributors fast.
Compensation & Benefits: Oversee payroll, benefits enrollment, and HR transactions with a focus on accuracy.
Legal & Compliance: Advise clients on compliance with local, state, and federal labor laws. Employee Relations: Use the Coach Approach: guide employees toward resolving issues with their manager wherever appropriate, while documenting and escalating real risk.
Performance Management: Support performance cycles, goal setting, and improvement plans. Coach client managers through difficult conversations rather than handling them in isolation.
Learning & Development: Identify training needs and coordinate effective programs that build skills, fostering a culture of continuous learning.
Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field.
At least 5 years of progressive HR experience, with a deep understanding of HR best practices and employment law.
Proficiency in HRIS systems and Google Workspace.
Genuine appetite for client-facing consulting work, including variety, autonomy, and accountability for outcomes you don't have positional authority over.
HR certifications (SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, SPHR).
Prior consulting, fractional, or multi-client experience.
