People and HR
People partners and HR generalists at companies small enough that you build the function while you are running it.
What the work looks like
- Be the whole people function, from onboarding through the hard conversation
- Write policy that fits this company instead of copying a template
- Own the systems and the headcount data behind them
- Coach managers who are managing for the first time
What we look for
- A hard conversation you handled, and what it cost you
- Where you built from nothing versus where you inherited a working function
- Comfort with the compliance side, not only the culture side
- Judgment about what to escalate to a founder and what to absorb
