Job description

HR Consultant - Sioux Falls Area

• Are you an HR professional looking for a unique opportunity offering flexibility, variety, and challenge?
• Do you have a good mix of strategic thinking, problem-solving ability, common sense, empathy and confidence?
• Are you able to find practical solutions and give advice directly, yet tactfully?

Alternative HR's main mission is to provide outsourced human resource services on an as-needed, fractional or interim basis. Our A-team of HR professionals are privileged to work in multiple industries with some of the best small and medium sized employers in the area. We work on a strategic level with business owners and CEOs, and we also do the heavy lifting when our clients need to find, develop and lead people, comply with laws and regulations, and create a work environment where individuals and organizations can excel.

We do HR differently. Our consultants enjoy the challenge and autonomy that comes with the position, the flexibility and life-first balance the position provides, and the trust and appreciation of both co-workers and clients. At Alternative HR, human resources is first and foremost, not an after-thought or an added piece of the business. Because of that, we place a priority on the growth and opportunity of our team.

While based in South Dakota, we work with clients and their employees wherever they are located - some in-person, some remotely. In a normal week, you will work with multiple employers and projects, interact with front-line employees, CEO's, business owners and executives, and have opportunities to make a real impact in the organizations we serve.

If you have a 5+ years of HR Director, Manager or Generalist experience and have a strong understanding of people and business, we'd love to talk to you.

What would you do? As one of our consultants, you may be asked to:

• Perform day-to-day HR functions for clients as a department-of-one HR professional
• Assist clients with recruiting and applicant screening
• Create and implement HR processes and systems including starting an organization's first-ever HR department
• Conduct compensation and benefits analysis
• Consult with key executives regarding HR objectives; recommend strategies
• Coach managers and supervisors on personnel and performance issues
• Conduct HR Risk Assessments
• Review and update job descriptions, employment handbooks, etc.
• Assist clients with state and federal compliance

What can you expect from us?

• The privilege of working on a top-notch team of HR pros
• The ability to hone your skills in all areas of HR as you regularly assist in writing handbooks, recruiting at all levels of an organization, developing compensation plans, and more
• The opportunity to regularly work on challenging HR projects that may come along only once or twice in your career at a single company
• An investment in your continuous, professional development

What do you need to be considered? Qualifications and skills Include:

• 5+ years of successful HR experience - Director, Manager or Generalist - with broad HR knowledge
• Previous or current experience as an HR department of one is preferred
• Payroll administration experience is also valued but not required
• BA/BS in business, human resources or related field, or equivalent experience
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Solid talent acquisition experience and success
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Strong organizational and project management skills
• Competent with Microsoft Office and HR Information Systems
• Confident, professional, positive, with ability to meet deadlines (and juggle!)
• Some ability/willingness to travel to client locations
• HR certification a plus

We offer a generous benefit package including:

• Flexible schedule and challenging work
• PTO, paid holidays, paid volunteer time
• Paid professional development
• Health and lifestyle allowance
• 401(k) plan with strong match
• Quarterly profit-sharing bonus
• Supplemental insurance, life insurance, EAP
