Job description

725 is looking for a motivated, positive, self-driven Human Resources Assistant to join our team. In this role, you'll support the HR Manager, who oversees people operations for both 725 and its affiliated 100-person company. You'll work out of one location and follow one set of systems, processes, and policies — 725's — while helping take care of our people across both organizations.

This role is a great fit for someone early in their HR career who wants hands-on experience across the full employee lifecycle: recruiting, onboarding, records, benefits, and general HR administration. Success in this role requires strong time management, clear communication, adaptability, and the ability to maintain confidentiality while juggling competing priorities.

Schedule: Full-time, in-office, 5x8-hour days (a Saturday or Sunday will be required during business demanding periods)

Compensation: $42,640.00 - $50,000.00

What You'll Do:

• Represent 725 professionally in interactions with internal and external stakeholders
• Support the HR Manager with recruitment and hiring efforts — scheduling and helping conduct interviews, coordinating with internal and external recruiters, and guiding new hires through onboarding
• Assist in payroll preparation by verifying and validating data (time off, bonuses, leave of absence, etc.)
• Support and help grow our employee engagement programs and activities
• Handle day-to-day HR administrative duties, including filing and maintaining confidential documents (hard and soft copy)
• Support HR needs across both 725 and its affiliated company, using shared systems and processes

Qualifications & Requirements:

• Associate's degree in Human Resources or a related field (minimum); additional education a plus
• Prior experience in an HR or administrative role, or current pursuit of education in HR — 0–2 years of experience is a good fit
• Experience with HRIS or payroll systems (Paycom experience a plus, not required)
• Demonstrated ability to maintain confidentiality of sensitive employment records and information
• Strong writing and verbal communication skills, with the ability to adapt style across different personalities and communication preferences
• Comfortable managing competing demands, accepting constructive feedback, and staying flexible as priorities shift
• Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office; comfortable with video calls
• This is an in-person, in-office position

What You'll Get:

• Paid Time Off
• Health, vision, and dental insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Life Insurance
• Ongoing leadership and professional development
• A fun, fast-paced, and supportive team

This is a great opportunity to learn, grow your skills and contribute to two growing organizations. Join a team that will support you, where you'll laugh, learn and be proud to work.
