HR Business Partner

Are you an experienced HR professional who enjoys a variety of work and loves to solve organizational HR issues?  If so, we want to talk to you. We are actively seeking to build our bench with part-time and fractional HR professionals.

Who We Are:

At AustinPeopleWorks we understand and embrace the gig economy. Our belief is that the future of work for many will involve working multiple jobs. Not just because many individuals need or even want to supplement their current incomes but also because working in various types of roles and industries provides variety and a chance to learn something new, meet new people, and make a meaningful difference by bringing experience and wisdom to a new role and company.

We are an Interim & Project HR company. The businesses we support need our help to get the day-to-day HR activities done. There's an increasing demand for the services we provide, which is why our team of HR pros continues to grow in size and as a collective brain trust.

Who You Are & What We Need:

You are an experienced HR Generalist or Business Partner who has a track record of exceling and even surpassing expectations. You enjoy working as a team member vs. in a silo doing your own thing and you understand how documentation is critical to a professional services operation. You embrace change and know that it’s more important to be effective than right and that we live in a world of constant change that requires diligence in staying current and tech savvy. You’re open to working at a fast or slow pace and you know how to manage your time to maximize when you’re at your best while also being a contributing team member.

We’re looking for experienced HR professionals with a flexible and humble work style who are interested in and comfortable with performing tactical and, yes, the administrative side of HR. It’s where our clients have the most needs – we’re being asked to keep the wheels on the bus and improve HR processes, and even departments, in the process.

Although we have a few needs from time to time for those wanting to work evenings or weekends, most of our project needs require being available 5 hours per week during typical business hours.  

Various skill sets and experience that we look for: HRIS administration and migrations; employee onboarding & offboarding; payroll and benefit administration; HR compliance and department audits; account management documentation and reporting, recruitment consultation, coordination, sourcing, shortlisting, screening, recruitment administration and client and business growth activities.

We’re looking to hire HR pros reaching out to us who have 5 years of experience in roles where they’ve had to do it all. So, we’re looking for seasoned HR professionals who enjoy rolling up their sleeves and getting into the weeds to make things happen. Experienced HR generalists who can wear a lot of hats, including recruiting, tend to stay the busiest with us.

What You'll Be Doing:

See the list below for some of the project work you may be asked to do. Keep in mind that we’re not expecting you to want to do all of these activities. Rather, we're interested in your providing part-time support for activities that you have experience with and a desire to do them.
