HR generalist

An HR generalist handles a broad range of human resources responsibilities for an organization. They manage recruiting and onboarding, employee relations, benefits and policies, performance and compliance, and the many people-related issues that come up — serving as a versatile, go-to resource for both employees and management across the HR spectrum.

The role is broad rather than specialized, touching every part of HR, especially valuable at smaller organizations. HR generalists work across companies and industries.

The job suits organized, people-oriented, adaptable people who enjoy variety and helping employees and the organization, are comfortable juggling many responsibilities, and want a versatile HR role that touches everything from hiring to policy to resolving workplace issues.
