HR Soul is recruiting an experienced HR Generalist – Talent & Team Member Relations in Tampa, FL to support one of our growing client partners. This role is ideal for a seasoned HR professional who can confidently own hiring end-to-end, serve as a trusted first line of support for team member relations, and contribute meaningfully to HR projects and operational improvements.

About the Role: 

This is not an entry-level or “learn-as-you-go” generalist role. We are intentionally seeking someone with depth of experience, sound judgment, and the confidence to operate independently while partnering closely with leadership.

Experience Requirements:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, Human Resources, or related field preferred
• 5+ years of direct, hands-on talent acquisition experience
• 3–5 years of HR Generalist experience, including team member relations
• Proven ability to work independently and make informed HR recommendations
• Role Focus (Approximate Allocation)

50% Talent Acquisition:

• Own the recruiting lifecycle end-to-end, from intake through training handoff
• Operate with minimal Director involvement
• Independently evaluate candidates and make hiring recommendations
• Partner with hiring managers, including pushing back when needed
• Improve speed, quality, and consistency of hiring outcomes

30% Team Member Relations, Performance & Administrative Support:

• Serve as first-line support for team member relations issues
• Review performance evaluations prior to escalation
• Support managers with basic coaching and performance conversations
• Provide light administrative support related to LOA and Workers’ Compensation
• (administrative support only, not ownership)

20% HR Projects & Initiatives:

• Support preparation for potential HR or operational transitions
• Assist with department goals, priorities, and performance initiatives
• Contribute to policy, process, and HR operations improvements
• What We’re Looking For
• Strong foundation in HR operations with the ability to adapt to evolving systems and processes
• Comfort working in ATS and HRIS platforms and navigating multi-state environments
• Sound judgment, professionalism, and the confidence to operate autonomously
• Clear communicator who balances empathy with accountability
• Tampa-based preferred; proximity to leadership is a plus

Why This Role

• This is an opportunity to step into a true generalist role with weight, not just tasks. You’ll be trusted to own your lane, influence hiring quality, support managers thoughtfully, and help shape how HR shows up for the business.
