• Keen Judgement (validate info in gray space)
• High Volume (50 emails a day into appropriate process)

Job Remarks:

Core Responsibilities:

• Reviewing background checks of potential contractors and employees.
• Performing validation checks and resolving “gray area” cases requiring careful judgment.
• Using Salesforce for case management (training will be provided).
• Supporting triage processes by identifying which cases can be cleared quickly vs. which need deeper review.
• Ensuring compliance and accurate decision-making to avoid regulatory or financial risks to company.

Skills and Qualifications Required:

• Minimum 3 years’ experience in risk and compliance (with some flexibility if recent experience is extensive).
• Strong attention to detail and investigative mindset (ability to ask questions, flag inconsistencies, and handle ambiguous data).
• Proficiency in Gmail for managing large volumes of communication.
• Basic knowledge of regulatory compliance and risk tolerance.
• Hands‑on execution experience in compliance‑related work (not just leadership experience).

Qualities of Successful Candidates:

• Previous background in risk, compliance, regulatory, or investigative roles.
• Strong judgment and critical thinking skills.
• High adaptability to handle case‑by‑case variations.
• Ability to work under pressure with large caseloads.
• Proactive learners who can quickly grasp Client’s internal processes.
• Risk/compliance knowledge is needed, inherent qualities such as attention to detail, investigative ability, and problem‑solving mindset are more critical than domain expertise alone.

Team Structure & Work Style:

• The HR Coordinators will join a background review team that ensures only eligible individuals can be employed or contracted.
• The role is back‑end focused (no direct applicant communication; outreach is done by another team).
• Work will be primarily email‑based collaboration within the team and with other departments.
• Close in‑office collaboration is required due to the sensitive, high‑stakes nature of decision‑making.
