About the job:
VX Media is looking for a part‑time HR Coordinator to own the day‑to‑day people operations that keep a fast‑moving agency running — onboarding and offboarding, hiring logistics, employee documentation, and attendance. This is a hands‑on, detail‑driven role for someone who builds clean processes and uses AI to move faster than a traditional HR admin.
Compensation & Schedule
- $32–$36/hour, depending on experience
- On‑Site
Key Responsibilities
Onboarding & Offboarding
- Own the full onboarding process — offer paperwork, new hire documentation, accounts, equipment, and first‑day logistics
- Coordinate with department leads to make sure new hires have what they need before Day 1
- Run offboarding end to end — exit paperwork, equipment return, access removal, and final documentation
- Maintain onboarding and offboarding checklists, updating them as processes evolve
Recruiting & Job Postings
- Post and manage open roles across job boards and platforms; keep listings current and accurate
- Track incoming applicants and maintain an organized candidate pipeline
- Schedule interviews and coordinate calendars across candidates and hiring managers
- Support hiring managers with candidate communication and interview logistics
Documentation & Records
- Prepare, issue, and file employee documents — offer letters, agreements, contractor paperwork, and role changes
- Maintain accurate, confidential personnel records and keep the employee file system organized
- Manage compliance paperwork (I-9, W-4, state forms) and ensure completion and proper filing
- Keep the employee handbook and internal HR documentation current
Attendance & Time Tracking
- Track attendance, timesheets, and PTO across full‑time staff, part‑time staff, and contractors
- Flag discrepancies and follow up directly with employees and managers
- Prepare attendance and time reports for payroll and leadership
- Support benefits administration and enrollment coordination
AI‑Driven HR Operations
- Use AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) to draft job descriptions, offer letters, policy documents, and internal communications
- Apply AI to speed up resume screening, candidate summaries, and interview prep materials
- Build and maintain AI‑assisted trackers, templates, and reporting workflows for attendance, hiring, and onboarding
- Identify manual HR tasks that can be automated and propose better workflows
Required Qualifications
- 2-5 years of experience in HR, people operations, recruiting coordination, or a comparable administrative role
- Demonstrated hands‑on experience using AI tools in daily work — drafting documents, screening resumes, summarizing information, or automating trackers and reports. You should be able to walk us through specific examples of how you've used them
- Strong working knowledge of Google Workspace and Excel/Google Sheets, including formulas and organized tracker builds
- Proven ability to handle confidential employee information with discretion and sound judgment
- Highly organized with sharp attention to detail — accuracy in documentation and records is non‑negotiable
- Clear, professional written and verbal communication with employees at every level
- Comfortable working independently and managing priorities across a 3‑day schedule
- Available to work on‑site
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in an agency, media, production, or creative environment
- Familiarity with HR platforms
- Experience with an ATS or applicant tracking workflow
- Working knowledge of New York State labor and employment requirements
- Experience supporting contractor and freelancer onboarding
- HR certification or coursework in HR or Business Administration
Who You Are
- Discreet and trustworthy — people feel comfortable bringing you sensitive information
- A process‑builder who would rather fix a broken workflow than work around it
- Self‑directed and efficient; you protect your three days and get through the list
- Unflappable under competing requests from multiple departments
- Genuinely curious about AI and quick to adopt tools that remove busywork
