Oversee interview scheduling, offers, background checks, onboarding, and new hire orientation.
Manage employee referral programs and recruiting processes.

Partner with brokers, benefit vendors, and our PEO to ensure smooth administration of employee benefits.
Support employees by answering benefit questions and resolving benefit-related issues.
Assist with annual open enrollment and ongoing benefit communications.
Compliance
Help maintain compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws while partnering with General Counsel on complex matters.
Update HR policies and procedures as regulations evolve.

Prepare HR reports, compensation analyses, and workforce metrics to support leadership decision-making.
