This position is ideal for someone who enjoys building relationships, staying organized, managing multiple priorities, and making a positive impact on both candidates and employees.

A Day in the Life

No two days are exactly alike. Some days you'll be coordinating interviews and helping managers fill important positions.

• Assisting with benefits administration, employee inquiries, and HR-related processes
• Maintaining recruiting, onboarding, and personnel records with accuracy and confidentiality
• Supporting HR projects, communications, reporting, and other department initiatives as needed

What We're Looking For

We're seeking an organized, service-oriented HR professional who is passionate about helping people and creating an experience that is positive for our employees.

The ideal candidate will have:

• An associate degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Communications, or a related field
• At least two years of hands‑on recruiting experience required, with experience supporting the hiring process from candidate sourcing through onboarding
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
• The confidence to partner with hiring managers, coordinate hiring activities, and support recruitment efforts across a variety of positions
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Experience working with applicant tracking systems, HRIS platforms, Microsoft Office applications, and other business software
• The ability to maintain strict confidentiality while providing exceptional service to candidates and employees
• Benefits administration experience is a plus

Why Join Us?

At Wolverine, we don't just offer jobs, we build long‑term careers. We invest in our people and believe a strong workplace starts with a positive employee experience, meaningful relationships, and a culture built on service, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

• Pension plan
• 401(k) with employer match
• Zero-cost medical, dental, and vision insurance for your entire family
• Health Savings Account (HSA)
