Own new hire onboarding and orientation, ensuring every new employee has a smooth, well-organized first day and first 90 days.
Partner with hiring managers on job postings, screening coordination, and interview scheduling as needed.
Maintain onboarding checklists, training assignments, and new hire documentation in the HRIS.
