Job description

- About the Role

We are looking for an experienced and hands-on HR Head to manage the complete employee lifecycle of a professional services organisation. The person should be comfortable working in a professional/consulting/CA-firm environment, where the workforce primarily comprises qualified professionals, CAs, analysts and other knowledge workers.

This is a hands-on role requiring strong ownership of HR operations, payroll coordination, employee onboarding, employee engagement and initial candidate screening.

Key Responsibilities

1. Payroll & Employee Compensation

• Month-on-month calculation/review of employee compensation and payroll inputs.
• Managing leave, attendance and payroll-related calculations.
• Ensuring appropriate statutory deductions, payments and compliance.
• Coordination with payroll/accounting teams and ensuring timely salary processing.
• Maintaining accurate employee records and HR documentation.

2. Employee Onboarding

• Managing the complete onboarding process for every new employee.
• Coordinating allocation of laptops and other IT assets.
• Creation of official email IDs and employee profiles.
• Onboarding employees on the firm's HR/employee management platform.
• Ensuring attendance, leave and other HR systems are activated from Day 1.
• Explaining company policies, procedures and employee guidelines.
• Coordinating joining kits, T-shirts, hampers and other employee requirements.
• Ensuring a smooth and professional joining experience.

3. Employee Lifecycle & HR Operations

• Handling employee queries and resolving routine HR-related issues.
• Maintaining employee documentation and HR records.
• Managing leave, attendance, employee movements and other HR processes.
• Supporting employee engagement and retention initiatives.
• Ensuring HR policies are communicated and implemented effectively.

4. Recruitment & Initial Screening

• Understanding manpower requirements from business/team heads.
• Conducting initial telephonic/video screening of candidates.
• Assessing communication skills, attitude, stability, professionalism and cultural fit.
• Understanding candidates' career history, motivations and salary expectations.
• Shortlisting suitable candidates for technical/functional interviews by the relevant team.
• Coordinating the interview and offer process.

Important:

The HR Head is not expected to conduct technical interviews for CA, audit or consulting roles. The primary responsibility is to conduct a strong first-level screening and ensure that only relevant candidates move to the technical interview stage.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Experience in HR within a CA firm, consulting firm, professional services organisation or similar knowledge-based organisation will be strongly preferred.
• Should have experience handling professionals rather than predominantly blue-cob or manufacturing workforces.
• Strong understanding of payroll, leave, attendance and statutory deductions.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Highly organised and comfortable with hands-on execution.
• Should be comfortable independently managing HR operations rather than only performing a specialised HR function.
• Good understanding of HR technology/platforms and employee management systems.

Preferred Background

Strong preference:

1. CA / Consulting / Professional Services firm
2. Consulting organisation
3. Professional/knowledge-based services company

Preferred:

Candidates demonstrating approximately 2 - 3 years or more of stability with individual employers, wherever applicable.

Key Attributes

• Ownership mindset
• High attention to detail
• Strong communication
• Professional and mature approach
• Hands-on execution capability
• Ability to manage multiple HR activities simultaneously
• Employee-centric but process-oriented approach
