What- the Role:

On behalf of our client, SWIM is seeking a new HR Manager. The company is planning to quickly hire someone on a contract basis (shorter and quicker interview process). If the contractor is seeking permanent employment, they can get serious consideration for the permanent role.  Our client is also open to considering candidates for permanent employment right-off-the-bat, that would just involve a lengthier and more competitive selection process.

We are seeking excellent communicators (written, verbal, non-verbal) who love building relationships across a business and really getting to know the operations and front-line employees. Strong collaboration and “building-out-HR” skills are all important, as is a consultative and adaptable nature. We are looking for people who are excited about working in a high change, innovative, and growing company.  Experience working in the construction and/or technology sectors is a bonus, not required.  SHRM designation is an asset.
 

Where:

We are seeking candidates who are based in or close to Childress in North Texas. (i.e within a maximum 5-hour drive of Childress, ideally under a 3 hour drive… perhaps candidates living in/new Dallas-Fort-Worth?). The HR Manager will mostly work remote/from home, but must be able to get to Childress 1, 2, or possibly even 3 days a month- mostly on an as-needed basis for important meetings, investigations, onboarding, terminations, etc.  
 

How Much:

For contract- competitive hourly consulting rate, commensurate with depth and relevance of HR skills and work experience- likely in the range of $40 to $65 an hour, with a sweet spot of $50 to $60. For permanent full-time- the HR Manager will earn a base salary of around $100,000 to $120,000 USD, plus bonuses, health benefits, professional development support, etc.

Robust total compensation package. Read Full Description

Fulfilling HR leadership opportunity with a very well-established private organization based in Surrey. Leading a team of 2-3 direct reports and reporting directly into the CEO. Very well-rounded role touching on almost all areas of HR, with an emphasis on employee engagement, employee lifecycle, employee & labour relations, learning & development, organizational development, performance management, and leadership coaching. Robust total compensation package.

Who- the Company: 

Our client has a long and successful history in BC. The company employs approximately 600 people across the province and is headquartered in Surrey. The leadership and company owners truly believe that their people/employees are their #1 asset, and there is deep belief from the top in the importance of a well-run human resources function. The company has many long-tenured and loyal employees.

What- the Role:

Our client seeking a new Director of Human Resources who will be the top leader of the HR function for the company. Reporting into the CEO (who strongly believes in the value of HR) and directly leading/mentoring a team of 2 or 3 direct reports. The Director will lead almost all areas of HR (although not currently leading payroll) for an employee population of ~600 across the province of BC. A main focus over the next couple years is defining and improving the employee lifecycle (recruitment to onboarding to training to development to succession planning to exit/retirement/offboarding). The Director of HR will also improve upon existing HR policies, processes, compliance, and systems. There is a unionized employee workforce, but there are other leaders within the company who own the labour relations at a deeper level. SWIM will provide interested candidates with a thorough job description.

Who- the Candidate:

We are looking for candidates with at least 10 years progressive human resources work experience, including several years in people management/departmental leadership. Some form of post-secondary education related to HR is required, and CPHR is preferred. Experience working in a mid-sized privately-held BC-based company is highly preferred, with 300 to 1000 employees across multiple worksites, ideally with a mix of unionized and non-unionized. 
Qualified candidates for this role will excel at leadership coaching, performance management, and change management. We’re looking for a confident, competent, and compassionate Director of HR who enjoys partnering with senior leadership and who excels at collaborating cross-departmentally to drive the business forward through employee engagement. Candidates will have a long-term vision and will not be deterred by short-term challenges and experiencing some failure on the road to success. Some folks have been with the organization for decades and are learning what good, innovative HR looks like. Ideally the new Director of HR will be someone who is constantly keeping up-to-date on “best practices”- in HR, leadership, coaching, business management- whether that be through reading, conferences, podcasts, networking, etc. We are looking for an inspiring leader who can be hands-on while working towards the big picture, and who has a “teach them to fish, don’t just give them the fish” approach to HR.

How Much:

Competitive base salary commensurate with level of HR skills, work experience, and qualifications- sweet spot of $120,000 to $130,000, with a full range of $115,000 to $140,000 (please note that for consideration at the very top end, candidates will need to have all the desired qualifications and many years of relevant HR experience). The company will provide their new Director of HR with a solid overall compensation package, including a performance-based bonus, a pension plan, professional development support, solid health/dental/vision benefits, and other perks.   

Where:

The company is headquartered in Surrey. The Director will mostly be based at the corporate office but will travel as needed to other work sites in Greater Vancouver and beyond (transportation costs all covered). Mostly an in-office role, but with occasional work-from-home flexibility as life requires. Ideally candidates will be based in or near Surrey, so that the office location is viewed as a plus.

When & How to Apply: 

Swim Recruiting has been engaged exclusively and will be presenting the profiles of short-listed candidates directly to the hiring CEO. If you already have a Recruiter at SWIM, please reach out very soon.
