THE POSITION

You'll join a collaborative HR team and work alongside two other Human Resource Analysts who also support placement and recruitment. Together, you'll partner with hiring managers, share ideas and recruiting strategies, and create a consistent, positive experience for candidates across Pennie.

From the first conversation about a vacancy to the final job offer, you'll help guide the hiring process every step of the way. This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys building relationships, staying organized, and making sure every candidate has a positive experience while every hiring decision is handled accurately and thoughtfully.

• Partner with hiring managers to find the right talent. You'll identify hiring needs, develop recruitment strategies, create NEOGOV requisitions, and help establish qualifications and interview criteria. You'll also use LinkedIn Recruiter and other sourcing tools to connect with candidates and build talent pipelines.
• Guide candidates through the hiring process. You'll review applications, coordinate and conduct interviews, support selection decisions, complete background checks, extend offers, and help new hires transition smoothly from candidate to employee.
• Help strengthen how Pennie recruits. You'll monitor hiring activity, use recruitment data to identify trends and opportunities, and recommend process improvements. You'll also support employment inquiries, documentation, and other HR projects as needed.

We believe great hiring starts with great relationships. Whether you’re partnering with a hiring manager, helping a candidate through the interview process, or finding a creative way to reach new talent, every hire helps strengthen Pennie's mission of connecting Pennsylvanians to quality health coverage. The people you recruit today will help thousands of Pennsylvanians tomorrow.
