Miami Family Law Group, PLLC Coconut Grove, Miami, FL
Full-Time 100% In-Office $100,000 Annual Salary + Comprehensive Benefits
Miami Family Law Group, PLLC is seeking an experienced, highly organized, proactive, and results-driven HR & Recruiting Manager to lead our recruitment efforts and oversee the firm's day-to-day human resources operations.

• Manage new-hire onboarding, including orientation, employment documentation, policy acknowledgments, benefits coordination, and training schedules.
• Develop and oversee structured 30/60/90-day onboarding and performance evaluation plans for new employees.
