Day to day, you will juggle checklists, paperwork, systems access requests, and a steady stream of questions from excited new hires, all while keeping every detail organized and on schedule. The ideal candidate is a natural communicator who loves creating structure, stays calm when priorities shift, and takes pride in giving every new employee a smooth, professional welcome regardless of where they log in from.

  • Collect and organize I-9, background check, and compliance documentation
  • Communicate onboarding timelines and expectations clearly to hiring managers and candidates
  • Gather feedback from recent hires to continuously improve the onboarding experience
  • Support HR team with light administrative and reporting tasks as needed

Requirements

  • High school diploma or equivalent required; associate or bachelor degree preferred
  • Prior internship, administrative, or customer service experience is a plus
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Comfortable managing multiple tasks and deadlines simultaneously
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office or Google Workspace
  • Familiarity with HRIS or applicant tracking systems is a plus but not required
  • Ability to work independently in a remote environment with reliable internet access
  • A warm, professional, service-oriented attitude

  • 401k plan with employer match
  • Paid time off and paid holidays
  • Fully remote position with flexible scheduling
  • Home office stipend for remote equipment
