HR Coordinator

About Us

Employment Compass is an HR consulting company that works differently. We support more than 100 retained small and medium businesses with employment relations, workplace compliance and HR advisory, and we build our own technology to do it well.

Most of our clients are community-managed early childhood services, alongside professional services, trades, retail and hospitality businesses. Our team works every day in a command-driven platform that handles award research, documents and client records, so their time goes to advice, and their feedback decides what our engineers build next.

About the Role

This is the role we grow HR Advisors from. As HR Coordinator you keep the advisory engine running: triaging enquiries, coordinating matters from intake to resolution, preparing contracts and letters in our platform, and keeping the records our advice is built on accurate for more than 100 businesses and the people they employ. Some of that is still administration, and we say so: the platform does the repetitive part. You sit beside the Director, the HR Manager and our HR Business Partners every day and see how advice is made.

Key Responsibilities

• Triage advice-line and inbox enquiries, and route each matter with a clear summary
• Coordinate client onboarding, document collection and follow-ups through to completion
• Prepare contracts, letters and policy packs in our platform, and check each one
• Maintain client employee files, contract registers and Annual Wage Review letter packs
• Research awards through our legal corpus and draft routine advisory notes for review

Your Progression

We hire coordinators to become advisors. The exposure is immediate: real clients, real matters, and a platform that does the paperwork.

• In your first 90 days you own inbox triage and prepare contracts under advisor review
• By six months you run a group of clients and take routine enquiries with support
• At twelve months, or earlier where you show us you are ready, a formal review moves you into an HR Advisor role with your own portfolio and advisor pay

What You'll Bring

We want a coordinator who is organised to the bone and at home with AI tools. If four of the five land, apply.

• A tertiary HR, employment relations or business qualification, completed or in final year
• Day-to-day use of AI tools in work or study that you can show us
• A year in HR administration or coordination, or a strong graduate record
• You check documents and records against the source before they go anywhere
• You want to advise, and employment law interests you

What We Offer

The platform handles the production work, so your time goes into becoming an advisor.

• $65,000 + super to start, stepping to $70,000 at six months on the milestones above
• A defined pathway to HR Advisor, reviewed at twelve months or earlier
• An AI-first platform that handles award research, documents and client records
• Direct access to the Director, with no layers between you and a decision
• Parramatta office with hybrid flexibility

How the Process Works

Four steps, and we tell you where you stand after each one.

1. Apply with your resume and a short note. No cover letter.
2. Within one business day we send a link to record three short video answers on your phone, 90 seconds each, whenever suits you in the next five days. Same questions for everyone, re-record allowed, and written or audio answers are welcome instead.
3. Shortlisted candidates do a 45-minute practical task in our platform, the work a coordinator does in week one.
4. A 45-minute interview with the Director in Parramatta, then references and an offer.

The three video questions, so you can think first:

• Tell us about something you organised that had a lot of moving parts. What kept it on track, and what would you change next time?
• Walk us through one way you use AI tools right now, step by step. What do you check before you trust the output?
• A preschool director rings: an educator resigned by text overnight and she asks what to do. You are the coordinator, not the advisor. What happens in the next ten minutes?

How to Apply

Apply here with your resume and a short note on something you organised well and how you use AI tools. No cover letter needed. We pick up every application, and the video link follows within a business day.
