As we scale up, we're looking for an temporary HR Specialist - Total Rewards and Talent Acquisition to join our expanding HR team. This 12 month contract, which has the opportunity to turn permanent is a blended role, perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and wants to make a direct impact on how we attract, hire, and retain top talent.

Reporting to the Director of HR, you’ll be responsible for two critical areas:

Talent Acquisition – owning the end-to-end recruitment process for roles across Canada and the U.S., building talent pipelines, and ensuring a great candidate experience.

Total Rewards – supporting the refresh of our salary bands and job level framework, conducting market benchmarking, and supporting our compensation and benefits strategy.

This temporary role is out of our Kitchener office and requires 4 days in-office to support recruitment and onboarding, plus 1 remote day.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Talent Acquisition & Onboarding (65%)

• Partner with hiring managers to define role requirements and craft compelling job postings that attract top talent
• Source and engage candidates through creative channels (LinkedIn, industry networks, referrals – not just job boards)
• Conduct phone screens, coordinate interviews, and guide hiring teams in selecting the best fit
• Own and continuously enhance the onboarding experience to ensure every new hire feels welcomed, equipped, and set up for success
• Manage our Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and track recruitment metrics to improve efficiency and reporting
• Build proactive talent pipelines for high-priority and hard-to-fill roles

Total Rewards (35%)

• Refresh and maintain our salary bands and job level framework to keep them current and competitive
• Conduct internal equity reviews and external market benchmarking for Canadian and U.S. roles
• Prepare data-driven compensation recommendations for new hires, promotions, and adjustments
• Monitor and advise on emerging pay transparency and equity legislation in both jurisdictions
• Support benefits evaluation and vendor relationships to ensure our offerings remain competitive and employee-focused

What You’ll Bring to the Role

We’re looking for someone who thrives in creating meaningful employee experiences and is excited to make a tangible impact from day one. In this role, you’ll shape how new team members join and grow with us, so your ability to connect with people and build trust will be just as important as your technical skills.

• A passion for talent – you see recruitment as more than filling roles; you see it as building the future of a team and shaping our culture.
  
• A strategic mindset – you think beyond today’s hires and consider how talent and compensation strategies will support long-term success.
  
• The skill for creating experiences – from the first interview to the first week on the job, you design onboarding that makes people feel welcomed, prepared, and inspired.
  
• Curiosity and adaptability – you’re eager to learn, explore better ways of doing things, and adapt your approach as our company grows.
  
• Collaborative energy – you enjoy partnering with managers, executives, and peers to create solutions that work for everyone.
  
• Attention to detail that inspires trust – whether it’s crafting a compelling offer letter or ensuring compliance, your work is accurate and thoughtful.

REQUIRED:

3–6 years of HR experience, with at least 2 years in recruitment and/or compensation-focused roles

Experience working with both Canadian and U.S. employment markets

Skilled in salary benchmarking and job evaluation using compensation benchmarking tools (e.g., BenchMarket, Mercer, Payscale, Radford)

Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with both candidates and hiring managers

Comfort in a high-growth, constantly evolving environment

Curiosity, adaptability, and a “roll up your sleeves” attitude

ASSETS:

Familiarity with employment legislation in multiple jurisdictions (asset)

CHRP, CHRL, or SHRM-CP designation (or in progress) is an asset
