HR Advisor

We’re working with a mission-driven organization in Edmonton that’s known for its people-first culture and high-touch approach to HR. They’re seeking an HR Advisor to join their collaborative team on an 18-month contract. This role is ideal for an HR professional with strong generalist experience and a passion for recruitment, onboarding, and building positive employee experiences from day one.

What you’ll be doing:This is a hands-on, people-focused role with a strong emphasis on recruitment and onboarding — but it doesn’t stop there. As the HR Advisor, you’ll:

• Lead full-cycle recruitment: Partner with hiring managers to craft job postings, screen candidates, coordinate interviews, and guide hiring decisions.
• Own the onboarding experience: From offer letters to day-one orientation, you’ll set new employees up for success and be their go-to HR contact.
• Support managers: Provide real-time guidance to leaders on hiring best practices, realistic timelines, and day-to-day HR matters.
• Jump into HR projects: Depending on timing, you may contribute to upcoming policy review or compensation-related work.
• Keep things moving: Work across multiple priorities with confidence, professionalism, and strong time management.

Who you are:You're not just technically skilled — you're also a strong relationship builder who enjoys working in a collaborative environment. You bring:

• 3+ years of generalist HR experience, including end-to-end recruitment and onboarding
• A strong grasp of Alberta employment legislation
• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to guide and coach hiring managers
• A warm, people-first approach — you thrive in a team-oriented environment
• Strong time management and the ability to juggle multiple priorities
• Experience with UKG HRIS is a bonus, but not a must
• A degree/diploma in HR; CPHR designation (or in progress)
