Responsibilities

Recruiting (primary focus)

  • Manage full-cycle recruiting for hourly roles (job postings, sourcing, screening, interview scheduling, and offers) and support the HRBP on salaried searches.
  • Actively source skilled-trades talent who are not on LinkedIn, using job boards, referrals, trade schools, community events, and direct outreach.

  • Keep candidates engaged with timely follow-up and provide a professional, respectful candidate experience.
  • Coordinate with hiring managers on interview logistics, scorecards, and candidate feedback.
  • Prepare offer letters using approved templates and coordinate pre-employment steps (background checks, drug screens, references).
  • Track recruiting metrics such as time to fill, source of hire, and offer acceptance; help set up and maintain an applicant tracking system.
  • Represent WA Jones and Tebco at job fairs, schools, and community recruiting events.

General HR Support (as time allows)

  • Coordinate new-hire onboarding and orientation, and make sure paperwork is complete and accurate.
  • Maintain employee files and HRIS data; support leave tracking (including FMLA) and benefits questions.
  • Assist with HR programs such as stay interviews, exit interviews, and engagement and retention efforts.
  • Help draft and update job descriptions, forms, and HR documents.
  • Answer routine employee and supervisor questions and escalate employee relations issues to the HRBP.
  • Support compliance tasks, including I-9s, required postings, and safety and workers' compensation recordkeeping.

Requirements

  • 1–3 years of recruiting experience, ideally including hourly or skilled-trades roles.
  • Some general HR experience (onboarding, records, benefits, or HR administration).
  • Basic understanding of employment law (FLSA, FMLA, EEO, I-9).
  • Strong communication skills and comfort talking with candidates and employees at every level, from the shop floor to leadership.
  • Organized and self-directed; able to manage many open roles at once with follow-through.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel).

Preferred

  • Associate's or bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
