Work here to have people thank you for bringing them to the best job they’ve ever had!

We’re looking for a talented HR professional who is ready to take the next step in their career. This role will raise the bar, allowing us to be more effective in recruiting the best person for each position, and helping the overall business run faster and better.

 

About PerkSpot:

At PerkSpot we work with many of America’s top employers to bring the best perks and discounts to millions of employees.  These exclusive savings are a great recruitment and retention tool that allows their employees to take advantage of unique opportunities and feel great about their company.  We help employees from over 600 companies like Starbucks, Walgreens, Southwest Airlines, McDonald’s and Lyft to save on everything from gym memberships and movie tickets, to electronics, new cars, and travel.

Our company was founded by good people with great vision, and we carry on the work they started.  As we enter our eleventh year, we’re proud that our company has never grown this fast, operated this well, or had this much to look forward to. We’re proud of our leadership position in the industry, but we’re committed to doing more – developing better products, reaching more employers, and getting more employees engaged with our platform.  

 

About this Role:

As we expand, we are looking for a team player to fill our new opening as an HR Generalist/Recruiter to help us recruit more smart, passionate, creative people to join our team. You’ll be setting up a proper HR function in a company so we’re in a good position to grow. Until now, the functions of this role have been shared by others in the company -- so we’ve not always been consistent or great at it. The ideal candidate will “strike the balance between process and practicality.”

 

In this role, you will be responsible for:

  • All aspects of recruiting across every department, as the company adds another 10-20 roles in the coming year. You will be responsible for all aspects of sourcing, identifying, qualifying and scheduling candidates
  • Benefits and payroll administration coordination with a Professional Employer Organization
  • Employee onboarding and orientation to ensure everyone gets off to a great start
  • Overseeing performance management process and best practices
  • Protect and promote the company’s culture and values
  • HR Compliance

 

 A successful candidate will have:

  • A Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent experience
  • 2-5 years Human Resources experience
  • Recruiting experience across multiple departments and skill sets
  • Love and respect for people
  • Outgoing personality that will represent the company well
  • Strong written, verbal, and organizational skills
  • Results-oriented practices

 

The Perks of Working at PerkSpot

In your role here, you're going to grow, a lot. We're a big platform, but still a small team. That means we're going to trust you with more responsibility than elsewhere, invest in you more and you're going to reap the professional benefits of that.

We are a team of thirty people working out of our office in Chicago’s downtown River North neighborhood.  We dress how we like, boast an open time-off policy, stock a good beer selection, and we’re pretty obsessive about our coffee.  Most of all we dig good people with lots of energy and enthusiasm.

PerkSpot offers the full suite of benefits you’d expect from a profitable, established company, including health and dental insurance, 401(k), transit benefits, and fully-funded disability coverage. We have in-office bike storage and a shower on-site.  If you’re eager for personal and professional development, you’ll benefit from our dynamic, collaborative, driven and creative team.

 

The Interview Process

Please submit a resume and cover letter; don’t be afraid to show your spark and personality.  A cover letter is very important to us.  If we feel you’re a good fit, will be back in touch within the week.  There will be in-office interviews with the team and various employees of PerkSpot. References will be contacted and, if both you and our team feel you’re a good fit, an offer will follow shortly.  This position requires a full background screening and credit check.

PerkSpot is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
