HR Generalist

About TechNext

TechNext is an official Odoo Partner helping businesses across Southeast Asia modernize operations through ERP implementations, workflow automation, and AI-powered solutions. As we grow, we're bringing on our first dedicated HR hire, someone who can build the people function from the ground up and shape how we hire, onboard, and support our team.

About the Role

As HR Generalist, you will own the HR function end-to-end for TechNext, from setting up foundational policies and systems to running day-to-day recruitment, onboarding, and employee relations. This is a hybrid role with real ownership: you'll be the first point of contact for all things people-related, and you'll have the room to build processes rather than just maintain them.

Foundations & Systems

• Design and implement core HR policies, employee handbook, and compliance frameworks from scratch
• Set up and manage HR systems and records for payroll, leave, attendance, and employee data
• Establish onboarding and offboarding processes that reflect TechNext's culture and standards
• Ensure compliance with Philippine labor law, statutory contributions, and employment regulations

Recruitment & Talent

• Support IT recruitment — job postings, sourcing, screening, and interview coordination for developer and technical consultant roles
• Manage full-cycle recruitment for non-technical roles, partnering with team leads on hiring needs
• Build a pipeline of talent for recurring roles (developers, consultants, sales) as the company scales
• Own the candidate experience from first contact through onboarding

Employee Relations & Culture

• Serve as the primary point of contact for employee questions, concerns, and conflict resolution
• Run performance review cycles and support managers with feedback and development planning
• Plan and drive initiatives that build culture and engagement across a hybrid team
• Handle disciplinary matters, grievances, and terminations with professionalism and fairness

Compensation, Payroll & Admin

• Coordinate payroll processing and liaise with finance/accounting on compensation matters
• Administer benefits, leave entitlements, and statutory requirements
• Maintain accurate, well-organized employee records and HR documentation
• Track HR metrics (headcount, turnover, time-to-hire) and report to leadership

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 3–5 years of HR experience in a generalist capacity, ideally including experience setting up HR functions or processes
• Hands-on payroll processing experience, including statutory contributions and government reporting
• Strong employee relations experience — handling conflicts, grievances, and performance matters with sound judgment
• Some experience supporting IT/technical recruitment (sourcing and screening developers or technical roles)
• Solid working knowledge of Philippine labor law and statutory compliance (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, BIR, DOLE requirements)
• Comfortable operating with significant autonomy and building structure where none exists
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the judgment to handle sensitive matters discreetly
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously
• Self-directed and comfortable in a hybrid, fast-moving environment

Highly Valued

• Experience in a tech, consulting, or professional services company
• Familiarity with HRIS platforms and Odoo HR module
• Experience supporting a distributed or multi-market team
• HR certification (e.g., HRBP, SHRM, or local equivalent)

What We Offer

• Ownership over building the HR function from the ground up
• Hybrid work setup
• A growing, technology-driven company with a genuine need for strong people operations
• Direct influence on company culture as we scale
