Human Resources Consultant

Department: Human Resources

Location: Atlanta

Description

Hire Ventures is a boutique Human Resources consulting firm headquartered in Atlanta. We specialize in providing fractional, project-based, and advisory HR support to small and medium-sized companies. Since 2001, we have been helping businesses navigate the complexities of HR and recruiting, with a focus on attracting and retaining top talent in an ever-changing world.

Our services are especially ideal for companies that have HR or recruiting needs but may not have a full-time resource in-house. As we continue to grow, we are expanding our Human Resources Consulting team. Most of our consultants support 3-5 clients simultaneously, often collaborating with other Hire Ventures consultants to deliver exceptional results in a fractional capacity. We are not industry-specific but work with chosen clients who care about the culture they are building and place a high value on the employee experience. We partner with our clients, acting as an embedded part of their team, often in a leadership capacity but with the ability to handle all things HR.

We’re looking for a proven self-starter who is passionate and experienced in various areas of Human Resources. This is a hybrid role based in Atlanta, blending work from our office, client locations and remote.

Key Responsibilities

What you will be doing:

• Serve as an extension of our clients’ in-house teams, providing support across the employee lifecycle, including on & off boarding, benefits administration, payroll administration, leave management and performance management.
• Assist with HR audits, compliance and HR administration, building efficiencies around hiring, onboarding, employee development, compensation, benefits, and performance management.
• Handle tasks such as payroll processing, 401ks, benefits administration, leave management, and employee terminations.
• Project-based work like crafting Employee Handbooks, conducting comprehensive job descriptions and managing HR Investigations.
• HR is ever-changing, and many of our clients are geographically dispersed with employees in multiple states; that said, you must stay up to date on state and federal employment laws to ensure client compliance.
• Contribute to the Hire Ventures blog, website content, and social media platforms, showcasing thought leadership in HR.
• Participate in team meetings and work closely with other consultants to share knowledge and strengthen the Hire Ventures brand. Promote our story via LinkedIn and other platforms.
