HR Coordinators work in the human resources department to complete smaller clerical tasks to keep the company functioning effectively. They often complete administrative tasks and assist the HR Manager on completing larger items, so the HR Manager can focus on more big picture responsibilities and implement strategies to improve the company. HR Coordinators handle all internal and external inquiries and requests and ask the HR Manager for assistance if any challenges with solving these issues arise. They’ll collaborate with the HR Manager during the recruiting process by finding potential candidates, checking their references and distributing employment contracts. HR Coordinators complete basic job duties related to the daily operations of an office, like scheduling meetings, coordinating training sessions, performing employee orientations and managing employee information documents.
