HR Coordinator and Talent Acquisition Specialist

**Who We Are** Crown Town helps values\-driven homeowners transform their properties into beautiful, environmentally responsible landscapes. Our work connects landscape design, installation, maintenance, composting, and farming into one system. The organic waste we collect is turned into nutrient\-rich compost that feeds both the landscapes we build and our farm, which grows local produce, via our sister companies Crown Town Compost and Crown Town Farm. Through this work, we help create closed\-loop homes that reflect our clients' values while actively improving the health of the natural environment. Our goal is to build a company that produces exceptional landscapes, healthy soil, local food, and meaningful work for our team. **Our Values** * Stay Grounded — Trust, accommodate and be candid. The highest success is shared success. * Be About It — Hard work is just about the only thing that works. * Obstacles Are the Way — Challenges will come. Choose to learn. * People First — Serve others and the rest will fall into place. * No Finish Line — We can always do better. We can always do more. **The Problem This Role Solves** As Crown Town grows, consistent hiring speed and reliable HR process execution become critical to protecting both team quality and company culture. Without a dedicated HR Generalist, hiring moves too slowly to capture strong candidates before competitors do, and administrative processes — onboarding, check\-ins, reviews, and records — fall behind or get inconsistently enforced. The HR Generalist role exists to: * Own full\-cycle recruiting so strong candidates are found and engaged quickly * Execute HR operations reliably: onboarding, check\-ins, reviews, and records * Free the HR Director to focus on strategy, policy, and employee relations * Deliver a consistent, professional experience for candidates and employees alike **Role Purpose** The HR Generalist is the operational backbone of Crown Town's HR function, owning full\-cycle recruiting and day\-to\-day HR administration. This role focuses on speed and follow\-through — sourcing and engaging candidates quickly, and keeping HR processes running on schedule — supporting the HR Director so hiring and people operations don't depend on one person's limited bandwidth. **Core Responsibilities** **Talent Acquisition \& Recruiting** Own full\-cycle recruiting for open roles, including: * Proactively sourcing and engaging active and passive candidates (LinkedIn, industry networks, referrals) rather than relying solely on inbound applicants — speed is a primary KPI for this function * Writing and maintaining job postings; keeping postings current across Indeed and other channels * Conducting first\-round phone/video screens to assess fit before passing candidates to the HR Director and/or relevant manager for further interviews * Managing and maintaining the candidate pipeline/ATS so nothing goes stale or falls through * Coordinating interview scheduling and offer logistics * Tracking and reporting time\-to\-fill and pipeline volume by role **Onboarding \& New\-Hire Support** * Own new\-hire onboarding administration: paperwork, Gusto setup coordination, equipment, orientation scheduling * Track and enforce the 30/60/90\-day new\-hire check\-in cadence — scheduled, completed, and documented * Serve as a point of contact for new hires during their first 90 days **Performance \& HR Process Administration** * Administer the performance review cycle: schedule reviews, prompt managers ahead of due dates, and ensure documentation is completed and filed * Maintain accurate, up\-to\-date personnel files and HR records * Administer existing HR policies: handbook distribution and acknowledgment tracking, execution logistics for PIIA and Non\-Solicitation agreements **Employee Support \& Compliance** * Serve as the first point of contact for routine employee HR questions, routing anything involving discipline or policy interpretation to the HR Director * Track subcontractor insurance compliance paperwork and coordinate with the insurance broker as needed * Support offboarding process administration (exit logistics, final paperwork, records closure) * Administer any remote work policy if finalized (tracking arrangements, calendar, agreements) **Communication \& Insight** * Maintain clear, proactive communication with the HR Director and President on pipeline status, hiring bottlenecks, and process gaps * Flag structural issues (e.g., compensation ceiling, role scope) that are suppressing candidate quality — this is a recruiting insight function, not just a scheduling one * Represent Crown Town professionally to every candidate and employee they interact with **What This Role Is Not Responsible For** **HR Strategy \& Policy Design** * Building new HR programs, writing handbook content, or designing process structure *Owned by HR Director.* **Compensation Decisions** * Setting or changing the compensation framework or structure *Owned by HR Director.* **Employee Discipline \& Difficult Conversations** * Making discipline decisions or handling employee\-relations conflicts *Owned by HR Director.* **Legal \& Attorney Liaison** * Managing legal document review or attorney (Spangler) communication *Owned by HR Director.* **Final Hiring Decisions** * Approving final candidates or offers *Owned by HR Director, in partnership with President.* **Management\-Level Interviews** * Conducting the initial interview (after the first screen) for candidates for management\-level roles above Lead *Owned by HR Director.* **Qualifications** * 2\+ years of HR generalist and/or recruiting experience; small\-business or trades/field\-services background is a strong plus * Demonstrated recruiting/sourcing experience, ideally including passive candidate outreach * Highly organized and process\-oriented — this role's core value is that nothing slips through the cracks * Strong written and verbal communication; comfortable being the first point of contact for employees * Trustworthy with sensitive/confidential information * Comfortable working with structure and oversight from the HR Director and President while also owning execution independently **What Success Looks Like** * Reduced time\-to\-fill and improved candidate quality reaching final\-round interviews * 100% on\-time completion of 30/60/90 check\-ins and review cycles (tracked, not assumed) * Clean, current personnel records and policy\-acknowledgment documentation * HR Director's operational workload measurably reduced within 90–120 days **Growth Path** As this person demonstrates ownership of the operational scope, the role has a clear path to grow into a Senior HR Generalist or HR Manager position.
