Achilles Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Are you someone who is organized, enjoys supporting others collaboratively, and is interested in learning about HR with a focus in recruiting? Would you like to join a dynamic company with fun people and be part of a team where your work is highly valued and appreciated? If so, look no further! Achilles Group is looking to hire an HR Administrator/Recruiting Coordinator who will help share the load between our recruiting process and our HR Shared Services work and be involved in a variety of Human Resources functions and projects related to our clients and overall business.

Achilles Group is a boutique HR consulting firm in Houston, Texas that proactively delivers human resources expertise to small and mid-sized businesses in a cost-effective way. We take a professionally human approach by placing people, ours and our clients, at the center of everything we do.

We are a team of accomplished human resources professionals that have taken the concept of teamwork and elevated it to the next level. While we are all HR generalists by trade, each of us specializes in an area of human resources. We speak of ourselves as working stronger, smarter, and faster as a team. There is strength in numbers and together we work with our clients to identify issues, discover solutions, and create opportunities. While individually we each excel at going above and beyond, it is collectively as a team that we shine the brightest.

We embrace the following core values:

• Extending Grace - We believe in adding compassion back into business, regardless of your situation, while balancing accountability and business expectations.
• Genuinely Interested - We want to know the ins-and-outs of your story, how you operate your business, the successes you celebrate and the stresses that keep you up at night. We appreciate being part of your journey.
• Navigating the Gray - We recognize there is no one-size-fits-all approach to HR, only tailored solutions. Our Professionally Human approach acts as a guiding light through the gray, often murky waters of HR.
• Diversity of Thought - We move beyond our individual filters to see the value in every person's experiences, perspectives, and ideas. Together, we are Stronger, Smarter and Faster, providing our clients the fuel needed to drive smart people decisions and profitable business outcomes.

We are looking for the following type of person:

• Be fun! Have fun! Relax and don't be afraid to be yourself.
• Eternal optimist! Have a positive attitude.
• Lean in, ask questions, be inquisitive, humble, and discovery-minded.
• Juggler! Have the ability to work on various different projects for different clients.
• Be a fireman! Have a high sense of urgency.
• Flexible - comfortable shifting between recruiting and HR admin work based on where the need is greatest.
• Embrace feedback, invite, receive, and offer it consistently.
• Talker! Listener! Communication is key.

The Position:

This is a unique role that blends recruiting with HR Admin work. The role is mainly focused on recruiting support, with some time spent on various other HR projects.

• Assist with an ever-expanding menu of HR-related tasks and projects as the role grows.

Qualifications:
