Human Resource Generalist

Preg O’Donnell & Gillett is a litigation firm with offices across the Pacific Northwest. We’re known not only for the quality of our legal work, but for the way we work together—collaboratively, respectfully, and with a shared commitment to succeeding together.

We are looking for a high-energy, intellectually curious HR professional who wants to play a meaningful role in shaping the employee experience at a law firm. This is not a traditional HR role—this is a hands-on, highly visible position for someone who likes variety, ownership, and being in the middle of how a firm runs.

This role touches multiple areas of the firm and blends HR, recruiting, operations, and culture-building.

·      Serve as a go-to resource for employees on HR-related questions and support.

·      Help develop and implement HR policies, processes, and best practices.

·      Support employee relations, feedback conversations, and performance processes.

·      Own and manage the annual staff review process in collaboration with firm leadership, from planning and communication through completion and follow-up.

·      Maintain employee records and ensure compliance with applicable laws and firm policies.

·      Assist with benefits administration and HR reporting.

·      Manage the full recruiting lifecycle, including job postings, screening, interview coordination, and offers.

·      Create a thoughtful, organized, and engaging onboarding experience for new hires.

·      Partner with leadership on hiring strategy.

·      Plan and coordinate firm events, celebrations, and team gatherings.

·      Support initiatives that strengthen engagement and connection across offices.

·      Bring creativity and energy to how we celebrate wins and milestones.

·      Assist with recruiting-related marketing, including job postings, employer branding, and LinkedIn presence.

·      Help keep the firm website current, particularly attorney profiles, firm news updates, and careers content.

·      Support internal and external communications tied to hiring and firm initiatives.

·      Help ensure our offices are functional, organized, and welcoming.

·      Coordinate with vendors and internal teams on space, supplies, and general office needs.

·      2–4 years of experience in HR, recruiting, or a related role; professional services or law firm experience is a plus.

·      Natural curiosity, a proactive approach, and comfort figuring things out.

·      Strong organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.

·      Excellent communication skills and the ability to build relationships across all levels.

·      A high level of discretion and professionalism when handling sensitive information.

·      A “roll up your sleeves” mindset—you’re just as comfortable planning an event as you are updating a policy.

·      Competitive compensation of $70,000–$90,000 and benefits.

·      Opportunity to grow into a leadership-oriented HR role.

·      Direct access to firm leadership and decision-making.

·      A collaborative, team-first environment that values initiative and follow-through.
