HR Assistant Jobs in Hawaii

A HR Assistant, or Human Resources Assistant, plays a crucial role in the human resources industry by providing support to HR professionals in completing administrative tasks related to the hiring, onboarding, benefit administration and employee records maintenance processes. They often act as the liaison between HR management and employees, providing information and help with HR-related issues. HR Assistants also handle tasks such as scheduling meetings, maintaining HR databases, and assisting with recruitment and staffing logistics. They may also assist in payroll preparation and manage employee queries regarding HR policies and procedures.

Essential skills for a HR Assistant include excellent communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills. They should be detail-oriented, have good time-management skills, and be proficient with MS Office Suite and HR software, like HRIS or HRMS. Although not always required, a HR Certification, such as aPHR (Associate Professional in Human Resources), can be beneficial for career advancement. Before becoming a HR Assistant, a person may hold roles such as Administrative Assistant, Office Coordinator, or Recruitment Coordinator.
