HR & Talent Acquisition Partner

Remote | Rochester, NY Area | Part-Time or Full-Time | $36-44/hour

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced HR & Talent Acquisition Partner who can support our clients across both human resources and recruiting functions.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys the variety of HR but also loves finding and hiring great talent. Depending on client needs, you may be supporting day-to-day HR operations, advising business leaders, managing full-cycle recruiting, or a combination of all three.

No two clients (or days!) will look the same. We're looking for someone who can easily shift gears, manage competing priorities, and jump into new environments with confidence.

While this is a fully remote position, we're looking for someone located in the Rochester, NY area who has established professional relationships and connections within the local talent market. These relationships will be valuable in supporting our clients' recruiting needs.

We're open to both part-time and full-time candidates, with hours determined based on experience, availability, and business needs.

Nice to Have

• Experience working in a fractional HR, consulting, or outsourced HR environment.

What Makes Someone Successful at Atomus?

We're looking for someone who:

• Is a doer. You enjoy rolling up your sleeves and getting things done, not just providing recommendations.
• Thrives on variety. You enjoy working with different clients, industries, and personalities.
• Can pivot quickly. You're comfortable moving between HR and recruiting based on where you're needed most.
• Takes ownership. You don't need someone telling you what to do next. You're proactive, resourceful, and accountable.
• Builds relationships. You know how to earn trust with business owners, leaders, candidates, and employees.
• Is a team player. You enjoy working collaboratively, sharing knowledge, and helping others succeed.
• Has attention to detail. We love people who pay attention to the details. To show us you've read the entire job posting, please include your favorite color in the "Is there anything else you'd like to share?" question when completing your application.

The balance between HR and recruiting responsibilities may fluctuate based on client needs. Some months may be primarily focused on recruiting, while others may involve more HR support. We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys both functions and is comfortable with that flexibility.
