Human Resources Consultant

HR Consultant

Chicagoland (Hybrid)

$75,000–$85,000 base

A growing professional services firm is looking for a hands-on HR professional to join its Client HR Services practice. Instead of managing HR for one company, you’d be the HR partner for several — stepping into different organizations, sizing up what they actually need, and building or running their HR function accordingly.

What you’d be doing:

• Supporting or building out a client’s HR function from the ground up, depending on where they’re starting from
• Providing hands-on HR support on an interim or project basis — onboarding, offboarding, employee relations, retention
• Administering payroll, benefits, and HRIS processes as needed for client organizations
• Recommending and implementing HR policies and best practices tailored to each client’s goals
• Juggling multiple client engagements at once without dropping the ball on responsiveness
• Working alongside internal team members on shared client projects

What they want to see:

• 5+ years of HR experience, ideally with multi-state exposure
• Solid grasp of HR compliance and current employment law
• Comfortable making recommendations to leadership, both in writing and in person
• Proficiency with HRIS and payroll platforms, plus strong Excel skills
• Able to travel to client sites around the Chicago area

$75,000–$85,000 base, plus comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage; 401(k) retirement plan; paid time off and holidays; and real opportunities for professional growth.
