HR Specialist
Financial Services · New England
HR Specialist roles at boutique investment management firms present a particular hiring challenge: you need someone with real HR department experience who also thrives in a smaller environment where they'll touch everything from AAP compliance to payroll support. This downtown Boston firm required three-plus years of HR experience, Excel proficiency for data-heavy work, and willingness to work fully on-site for six months before transitioning to hybrid. The $70K-$80K range with an 18% 401K contribution is strong, but the specificity of the requirements—plus mandatory COVID vaccination—narrowed the candidate pool considerably. We submitted our first qualified candidate within 15 days and closed the placement in 99 days.
