HR Consultant

Job Overview

This HR Consultant role is for someone who thrives on solving people puzzles. You'll partner with a variety of businesses in the Birmingham, AL area, stepping in to tackle specific challenges they're facing with their workforce. It's less about routine administration and more about providing targeted expertise where it's needed most.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Conducting audits of HR policies and practices, then drafting clear recommendations for improvement.
• Guiding managers through complex employee relations situations, from performance issues to conflict resolution.
• Designing and delivering training sessions on topics like compliance updates or effective interviewing.
• Assisting with project based work, which could mean helping to launch a new performance review system or analyzing compensation data.
• Preparing employment documentation and ensuring client practices follow current state and federal regulations.

Requirements

• A solid grasp of employment law; you know how to apply the rules in real world scenarios.
• At least three years of hands on HR generalist or specialist experience. Consulting background is a plus but not required.
• A bachelor's degree in human resources, business, or a related field. PHR or SHRM CP certification is highly regarded.
• The mental focus to juggle multiple client priorities and the discretion to handle sensitive information confidentially.

What It's Like In This Role

No two weeks look exactly the same. You might be onsite at a manufacturing plant one day and running a virtual workshop the next. You'll primarily use standard HRIS platforms and your own suite of tools for analysis and presentations. While you often work independently, you're connecting with client teams regularly, so building rapport quickly is part of the job. The workload ebbs and flows with client needs; it's engaging but requires good personal organization.

Why You'll Like This Opportunity

The variety here is the real draw. You'll see inside different companies and industries, which constantly expands your professional knowledge. There's significant autonomy in how you manage your projects and schedule. For anyone looking to move beyond a single company HR desk, this path offers serious growth in strategic thinking and problem solving breadth.

Schedule & Work Type

This is a full time position. The role involves a hybrid model; expect to work remotely part of the week but also travel locally within Birmingham, AL for client meetings and onsite work as needed.
