We are a growing ABA organization dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality services to children and families-and creating a workplace where our team members feel supported, connected, and excited about the work they do.
We're looking for an HR & Talent Acquisition Coordinator who loves people, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and can bring both organization and personality to the employee experience. From finding great people to welcoming new hires and keeping our teams connected, this role has the opportunity to make an impact throughout the entire employee journey.
About the Role
The HR & Talent Acquisition Coordinator supports the full employee lifecycle-from recruiting and hiring through onboarding, employee engagement, internal transitions, and offboarding.
This role combines HR coordination, talent acquisition, employee engagement, and culture-building. You'll partner closely with leadership and hiring teams to help us find the right people, create a positive candidate and new-hire experience, maintain accurate employee documentation, and bring our culture to life through recognition, events, and engagement initiatives.
We're looking for someone who isn't afraid to take initiative, follow through, connect with people, and find creative ways to make the employee experience even better.
What You'll Do

• Support the full employee lifecycle, including recruiting, onboarding, internal transitions, engagement, and offboarding
• Coordinate candidate outreach, interviews, hiring events, and onboarding logistics

• Partner with hiring leaders to support staffing needs and maintain an active talent pipeline
• Assist with HR compliance tasks, employee documentation, audits, and HR-related processes

• Collaborate across departments to support a positive and consistent employee experience
• Perform additional HR and People Operations responsibilities as assigned by leadership

What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys working with people but also loves the details behind the scenes.
You should be someone who can comfortably move from coordinating interviews and communicating with candidates to reviewing employee documentation, planning a team event, or helping improve an internal process.
You don't have to know everything on day one, but you should be motivated to learn, comfortable taking ownership, and excited to grow within Human Resources and Talent Acquisition.

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
• Strong follow-through and attention to detail
• Comfortable taking initiative and working independently
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making abilities
• Emotional intelligence and professionalism when handling employee-related matters

• Ability to adapt quickly in a growing, fast-paced organization

Why You'll Love Working With Us
