Awesome, Thank you!

SHRM helps a lot. We just hired a HR benefits Specialist. What we were looking for was someone experienced in what you just put down 🤣. Every company is looking for something different so start applying!

Thank you so much, I currently started in HR with this company and they started me off at $23. I am looking for more but it helped that the position is remote. If you guys end up with anymore positions I would love to apply!

Im a contractor. Another firm has reached out for 100% remote work for basically a lateral move. I really like where I’m at right now.
