Company Overview
HR Pals was founded by former Human Resources Executives in response to the challenge we heard from business owners who were asking for a more responsive, cost effective and qualified alternative to their traditional in-house HR department and the expensive recruiting firms they were using. So we built a better model, an outsourced and virtual solution, to help business leaders and HR departments meet their HR and recruiting needs with a high-quality service at an affordable price.
- We are a team of HR, Payroll, Compliance, and Recruiting experts with multi-industry and multi-state experience
- We believe that every organization has unique needs, so customize each engagement around the needs of the client
- We strive to create a client-focused experience that feels like we’re an embedded part of your team, as opposed to feeling like an outsourced vendor
Due to the great reception our services have received in the marketplace, our HR practice has tripled in size over the past three years.

The Sr. HR Generalist supports a group of 5-10 of our clients across multiple industries. In this role, you will partner with our HR Director to support day to day HR operations and be the primary point of contact for the client’s employees with regards to HR.

Work Schedule/Expectations
