Job Description

This role will be the first dedicated HR hire on the ground in our growing Austin hub, with a primary focus on driving full-cycle recruitment for local teams, while also managing essential HR operations and office support.

Workiz is looking for a hands-on HR professional to coordinate People operations in Austin—from hiring top talent to onboarding, employee experience, and local office support. This is a unique opportunity to shape the HR foundation in a growing location.

If you love recruiting and also enjoy the variety of HR operations, this role offers the best of both worlds—with talent acquisition as the core focus (about 70%) and broad HR and office ownership making up the rest.

What You’ll Do

Talent Acquisition (Primary Focus – ~70%)

  • Own End-to-End Recruiting: Lead the full-cycle recruitment process for roles across our customer-facing and operational teams. Source candidates, run phone screens, manage coordination, deliver offers, and drive onboarding.
  • Sourcing: Utilize various channels, including social media, job boards, referrals, and direct sourcing techniques to identify and attract qualified candidates for open positions
  • Partner with Hiring Managers: Work closely with managers to understand team needs, build strong pipelines, and provide a proactive, data-informed recruiting strategy.
  • Champion Candidate Experience: Ensure every candidate touchpoint reflects our culture and values, with timely, clear, and personalized communication.
  • Drive Employer Branding: Represent Workiz in the Austin market—build our presence through social media, job boards, and direct outreach.
  • Optimize TA Processes: Identify opportunities to streamline and improve recruitment workflows, tools, and reporting.
  • Manage Vendors: Oversee relationships with external recruiting partners and agencies as needed.

HR Operations & Office Ownership (Secondary Focus – ~30%)

  • Local HR Support: Be the primary HR contact in Austin, handling employee lifecycle support, basic employee relations, HR documentation, and compliance tasks in partnership with the global team.
  • New Hire Onboarding: Partner with managers and the enablement team to deliver a smooth and welcoming onboarding experience.
  • Office Experience & Culture: Maintain a functional and welcoming office environment; coordinating team events, employee milestone celebrations, and engagement activities.
  • Admin & Coordination: Provide administrative support across HR functions, including meticulous employee record management and collaborative assistance with IT and Finance.

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally in a fast-paced, tech-driven company
  • Experience in talent sourcing on LinkedIn and premium tools
  • Proven experience managing hiring across various levels and functions
  • A strong grasp of end-to-end HR processes and administrative best practices
  • Proficiency with ATS and HRIS systems (bonus points for working knowledge of Comeet, Rippling, Personio, LinkedIn Recruiter, HireEZ)
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive—you manage competing priorities with ease
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to build trust with candidates and employees at all levels
  • Passion for creating an outstanding workplace and supporting inclusive, employee-first practices
  • This is a hybrid role working Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in our office and Monday and Friday working remotely.

Salary range for this position is $70,000 - $100,000 per annum.
