HR Consultant - Sioux Falls Area

Part-Time/Flexible (Grow to full-time, if desired!)

• Are you an HR professional looking for a collaborative team with flexibility, variety, and challenge? 
• Do you have a good mix of strategic thinking, problem-solving ability, common sense, empathy and confidence?
• Are you able to find practical solutions and give advice directly, yet tactfully?

Alternative HR's mission is to serve small and medium-sized employers, most of whom have no HR professional on staff. We provide outsourced human resource services on an as-needed, fractional or interim basis. We work on a strategic level with business owners and CEOs, and we also do the heavy lifting when our clients need to find, develop and lead people, comply with laws and regulations, and create a work environment where individuals and organizations can excel!

We do HR differently than you may be used to, but if, on top of your HR skills, you can juggle, pivot, consult, coach and collaborate, consider this opportunity! Our consultants enjoy the challenge and autonomy that comes with the position, the flexibility and life-first balance the position provides, and the trust and appreciation of both co-workers and clients.  

While based in South Dakota, we work with clients and their employees wherever they are located - some in-person, some remotely. In a normal week, you will work with multiple employers and projects, interact with front-line employees, CEO's and business owners and executives, and have opportunities to make a real impact in the organizations we serve. 

If you have a minimum of 5-7 years of HR Director, Manager or Generalist experience and have good understanding of people and business, this is an opportunity you should explore.
