Human Resources Assistant

Location: Kansas City, MO
Salary: $46,000–$52,000 per year
Employment: Full-time, permanent
Schedule: Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Workplace: On-site

Our Kansas City office is expanding its internal operations and is hiring a Human Resources Assistant to support recruitment, onboarding, employee records, and day-to-day HR administration.

The position offers structured exposure to the employee lifecycle while working directly with managers, employees, candidates, and senior HR colleagues. It is well suited to someone who wants to establish a long-term career in Human Resources through practical responsibility and professional guidance.

Supporting the employee lifecycle

• Arrange interviews and communicate scheduling details to candidates.
• Prepare onboarding documents and new-hire information.
• Maintain accurate personnel files and confidential HR records.
• Update employee information in the HR system.
• Monitor outstanding forms, signatures, and policy acknowledgments.
• Help coordinate inductions, training sessions, and internal meetings.
• Respond to routine employee questions and direct specialist inquiries.
• Prepare HR trackers, spreadsheets, letters, and basic reports.

Working across the organization

The Human Resources Assistant will collaborate with department managers, recruitment colleagues, payroll contacts, administrative teams, and employees at different stages of their careers. Careful communication will be important because the role frequently involves dates, personal information, workplace policies, and time-sensitive documentation.

We are interested in applicants who can organize competing priorities, communicate professionally, and handle confidential information responsibly. Confidence using email, calendars, word-processing software, and spreadsheets is important. Familiarity with HR systems or recruitment administration is useful but not essential.

As knowledge and confidence develop, there will be opportunities to support more complex onboarding, employee engagement, policy administration, and wider HR projects. Progression will be based on performance, capability, and available business opportunities.

Apply for the Human Resources Assistant position with your current resume. A cover letter is not required.

All qualified applicants are welcome to apply.
