Part-Time HR & People Operations Assistant

We are looking for a confident, organized, and people-focused HR & People Operations Assistant to help us recruit, onboard, train, support, and manage our remote team.

Excellent spoken English is required for this position. You will regularly conduct interviews, orientations, employee follow-ups, performance conversations, and other meetings by voice or video. You must be able to communicate clearly, naturally, professionally, and confidently in English.

This is an active people-management position, not simply an administrative HR role. You will interact with candidates and employees throughout their journey with the company—from the first interview through orientation, training, weekly follow-ups, performance management, and, when necessary, termination and offboarding.

Training Coordination
- Make sure every employee completes required training.
- Assign and track training activities.
- Follow up with employees regarding their progress.
- Identify employees who are falling behind or need additional assistance.
- Confirm employees are prepared before advancing into their regular responsibilities.

Weekly Employee Follow-Ups
- Conduct scheduled weekly check-ins with employees.
- Discuss performance, progress, challenges, attendance, training needs, and expectations.
- Reinforce accountability and company standards.
- Document important conversations and action items.
- Follow up to ensure employees complete agreed-upon actions.
- Escalate important personnel issues to management when necessary.

Performance Management
- Communicate with employees regarding performance, attendance, behavior, and company expectations.
- Give clear and professional feedback.
- Document performance concerns and corrective conversations.
- Help management maintain consistent HR procedures.
- Remain professional and composed during difficult conversations.

Termination & Offboarding
- Conduct or participate in employee termination conversations when required.
- Communicate termination decisions professionally, clearly, and respectfully.
- Complete offboarding procedures and documentation.
- Coordinate removal of company access, accounts, files, or resources when applicable.

What We're Looking For

You should be:

- Highly proficient in spoken English.

- Consistent with documentation and follow-up.

Application & Voice Note

Please submit your application with a brief summary of your previous experience.

As part of the application process, please send us a 1–2 minute voice note answering these two questions:

1. Tell us about your previous experience working with employees, candidates, or team members and why you believe you would be good at this HR position.

2. Imagine an employee has repeatedly failed to complete their training and has already been reminded several times. How would you handle the conversation with that employee?

Please answer naturally rather than reading from a prepared script.

Because this position involves frequent conversations with candidates and employees, spoken English and communication ability will be an important part of our selection process.
