Primary Purpose
As one of our Human Resources Specialist at Central Oregon Community College, you will support a busy Human Resources office by helping us to hire the best people and assist prospective and current employees with questions including, but not limited to, recruiting, benefits, payroll, and HR processes.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
No two days are the same in this role, but here are some of the typical projects you will work on each day.
- You’ll coordinate and check the status on recruitments for multiple positions from opening the posting to onboarding the new employee. While you won’t own all steps (like doing the interviewing), you will be the hiring liaison, communicating regularly with hiring managers and candidates to ensure each step is completed from screening applicants, scheduling interviews, ensuring all recruitment related documents are filed, to onboarding.
- You will respond to questions from the HR email inbox and voicemail. Everyday we get 25+ questions about recruiting, hiring, employee inquiries, and HR processes/systems. You’ll be part of the friendly, accurate, and confidential customer support that helps them figure it out by asking clarifying questions, providing detailed answers, and responding in a timely manner.
- You will work alongside a supportive, fun, and collaborative team that wants to help you succeed in your daily work and in solving issues quickly for people.
- You will use technology to verify, establish, and update systems for employees. You’ll assist with setting up new employees, records maintenance/retention, tracking personnel evaluations, and more.

- You know how to prioritize many different projects and tasks for what’s time-sensitive and tackle those first.
- You like learning new technologies and can learn new systems quickly after being shown tutorials. You proactively find ways to make existing processes work more effectively.
- You have work experience as the go-to person for customer or employee questions. You understand how important it is to be detail-oriented, timely, and friendly in your communications. You feel confident communicating via email and phone with people who have diverse communication styles.
- You have the ability to work cooperatively with and contribute to a diverse workplace through ideas or experience.
