The Person We Want
You don't have to know everything about HR on day one.
What matters most is that you are:
A great communicator.
You can talk comfortably with candidates, employees, managers, and leadership.
A recruiter.
You know how to find people, get them interested, follow up, and get them through the hiring process.
A finisher.
You don't let candidates, paperwork, or problems sit unresolved.
Organized.
You can keep dozens of moving pieces organized without losing track of details.
Proactive.
You see a problem coming and address it before someone has to tell you about it.
People-oriented.
You genuinely care about finding good people and helping employees succeed.
Accountable.
You take ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do.
How We Measure Success
You will have clear goals and measurable results.
Examples include:
- Qualified applicants generated
- Phone screens completed
- Interviews completed
- Offers made
- New hires
- Time-to-hire
- Interview show rate
- 30-day retention
- 90-day retention
- Recruiting cost per hire
- Completion of onboarding requirements
- Benefits enrollment accuracy
- HR compliance deadlines completed
Your success isn't simply measured by whether you completed paperwork.
It's measured by whether Bethany has the right people in the right seats.
