Job Description

About the Role

We are looking for a highly resourceful, hands-on HR Generalist / Recruiter to join our growing

team and take ownership of recruiting, employee relations, and day-to-day people operations.

This is a high-impact role within a lean, entrepreneurial organization where you will have

significant visibility and autonomy. The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys being in the

middle of the action — building relationships, solving problems, recruiting great people, and

helping create a strong and accountable company culture.

You will serve as a key partner to the CEO and leadership team, helping take day-to-day people

management and recruiting responsibilities off their plates so they can remain focused on

growing the business.

This is not a traditional HR role where responsibilities are narrowly defined. We are looking for a

"hustler" who is comfortable wearing multiple hats, moving quickly, and figuring things out as

they go.

What You'll Own

Recruiting & Talent Acquisition

● Own the full recruiting process from sourcing through offer and onboarding.

● Build and maintain a proactive talent pipeline, particularly for sales/producer positions.

● Develop relationships with experienced producers and sales professionals who bring an

existing book of business.

● Proactively identify and engage talent rather than relying solely on reactive hiring when a

position becomes vacant.

● Conduct initial interviews and serve as a key gatekeeper throughout the process.

● Partner with leadership to understand hiring needs, candidate profiles, and

organizational priorities.

● Develop creative sourcing strategies to identify high-quality, passive candidates.

● Manage candidate communication and ensure a strong candidate experience.

● Help establish recruiting processes, tools, and metrics that can scale with the company.

Employee Relations & People Management

● Serve as the primary point of contact for employees regarding day-to-day HR and

people-related questions.

● Help managers and employees navigate performance management, employee relations,

workplace concerns, and difficult conversations.

● Take ownership of employee issues before they need to be escalated to leadership.

● Provide guidance around performance expectations, accountability, and professional

development.

● Help establish consistent approaches to compensation, performance management, and

employee policies.

● Partner with leadership on employee engagement, retention, and organizational culture.

● Handle sensitive employee matters with discretion, professionalism, and sound

judgment.

HR Operations

● Manage and improve (where necessary) core HR processes and procedures.

● Support onboarding, offboarding, employee documentation, and compliance-related

activities.

● Help develop and maintain company policies and employee resources.

● Identify opportunities to streamline and professionalize people processes as the

organization grows.

● Bring structure and consistency to HR practices without creating unnecessary

bureaucracy.

● Serve as a trusted resource to employees and leadership across a broad range of

people-related matters.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is an experienced, entrepreneurial HR professional who can recruit,

manage people issues, and operate independently in a small-company environment.

You should be someone who:

● Has approximately 5–7+ years of experience across recruiting, HR generalist, HRBP, or

related functions.

● Has strong recruiting experience and is comfortable owning searches from sourcing

through close.

● Is confident conducting interviews and assessing candidates.

● Has experience with employee relations and performance management.

● Can comfortably navigate sensitive conversations and employee issues.

● Is highly proactive and doesn't need to be told what to do.

● Enjoys working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

● Is comfortable wearing multiple hats and taking ownership outside of a narrowly defined

job description.

● Has excellent judgment and knows when to handle something independently versus

when to involve leadership.

● Is personable, approachable, and capable of building trust with employees at all levels.

● Is a strong communicator with the confidence to push back when necessary.

● Has a "hustler" mentality — someone who sees a problem and figures out how to solve

it.

● Can operate effectively within a small organization where everyone is expected to

contribute.

Preferred Qualifications

● Insurance industry experience is strongly preferred but not required.

● Experience recruiting insurance producers, sales professionals, or other revenue-

generating talent is a plus.

● Agency recruiting experience is highly relevant, particularly for candidates who are

accustomed to high-volume sourcing, candidate development, and working across

multiple priorities.

● Experience in a startup, entrepreneurial, or small-company environment is strongly

preferred.

Why This Role?

This is an opportunity to have a meaningful impact on a growing organization. You will not be

stepping into an established HR department with a rigid playbook. Instead, you will have the

opportunity to build and shape the company's recruiting and people function, establish scalable

processes, and become a trusted partner to leadership.

The right person will have significant autonomy and visibility and will play an important role in

helping the company attract, retain, and develop the people needed for its next stage of growth.

Work Environment

We believe in flexibility and trust. This is a hybrid role, with flexibility around the number of days

spent in the office. The ideal candidate should enjoy being connected to the team while also

being comfortable working independently.
