A significant part of the position will be helping us find and recruit outstanding candidates. This includes reviewing resumes and cover letters, researching candidate backgrounds, reaching out through professional emails and phone calls, conducting phone and video screenings, participating in interviews, and helping determine which candidates should move forward for additional interviews or upper management consideration.

This is also a hands-on, hybrid role. HR will be the primary department, but when HR priorities allow, this person will be expected to pivot and support other areas of Shabby Fabrics as needed. That may include order filling, cutting orders, quick fills, returning fabric bolts, or helping another team during call-outs, vacations, or increased workload. We are looking for someone who is flexible, quick on their feet, a fast learner, and ready to jump in wherever help is needed.

• When HR workload allows, pivot to hands-on support in other departments, including order filling, cutting orders, quick fills, returning fabric bolts, or other operational needs.

Required Skills and Abilities

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including professional email, phone, video, and face-to-face communication.
• Good judgment and interviewing skills, with the ability to assess candidate fit and recognize potential concerns.
• Strong organization, attention to detail, research skills, and ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Highly flexible, adaptable, and comfortable moving between HR work and hands-on operational support.
• Fast learner with a strong work ethic, team-first attitude, and willingness to help wherever needed.
• Ability to handle confidential information with professionalism and discretion.
