HR Assistant
Supporting the people team and learning the profession
HR assistant with three years supporting the people team at a growing company in Dublin, while studying toward a CIPD qualification. The helpful, reliable first point of contact for HR — handling recruitment admin, onboarding, records and employee queries, and learning the profession properly by doing the real work alongside experienced HR colleagues. Helped streamline the recruitment scheduling that sped up hiring and was thanked by managers for smooth onboarding. Supports recruitment and interviews, runs onboarding, maintains HR records, answers everyday queries, and helps with HR projects. Organised, approachable and genuinely keen to grow in HR. Looking for an HR-assistant or junior-HR role with a team that will invest in developing it.
