HR Specialist

Typically Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM

Under the direction of the Assistant Dean for Business and Personnel, the HR Specialist administers the College's human resources operations - facilitating and monitoring recruitment, hiring, and personnel actions for SHRA, EHRA (faculty and non-faculty), temporary, and student positions, and preparing recruitment and personnel materials for departments, the Dean, and supervisors. It develops and streamlines HR processes - including onboarding, offboarding, recruitment, and training - to provide clarity and efficiency, recommending changes to the Assistant Dean for approval, and it participates in and leads HR training while developing supporting documentation and materials in conjunction with College business process staff. While most approvals and all policy interpretation rest with the Assistant Dean, the role holds delegated authority over defined lower-level actions - approving routine recruiting requests in the College's applicant tracking system and processing standard temporary and student wage actions - and resolves routine employment situations in consultation with the Assistant Dean. It serves as the College's HR resource, applying University and State policy for chairs, directors, and managers and proposing process improvements for review. It maintains confidential personnel records, tracking spreadsheets, and HR data - ensuring accuracy, retention, and compliance, and tracking lapse salary in conjunction with College budget and finance staff - and prepares HR reporting to support College decision-making. Throughout, it coordinates with College budget and finance staff on personnel and wage funding and with College business process staff on temporary and student coverage staffing, acting in an advisory and supportive capacity and taking initiative within its lane while final authority rests with the Assistant Dean for Business and Personnel.
