HR Operations Generalist

ABOUT PRESCOTT HR

Prescott HR is a growing outsourced HR consulting firm that partners with small and mid-sized businesses to provide practical, compliant, and people-focused HR solutions. We serve as our clients' outsourced HR department, allowing business owners to focus on running their businesses while we handle everything from day-to-day HR operations to strategic human capital initiatives.

Our consultants are trusted advisors to our clients. The HR Generalist plays a critical behind-the-scenes role, ensuring our consultants have the support they need to deliver exceptional service.
