Human Resource Analyst (Placement), PHIEA

Do you enjoy helping people find meaningful work and building teams that make a difference? At Pennie®, we are looking for a Human Resource Analyst (Placement) who is passionate about creating a positive hiring experience and connecting talented people with meaningful careers.
 
You will join a collaborative human resource (HR) team and work alongside two other Human Resource Analysts who also support placement and recruitment. Together, you will 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 will 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.
As a Human Resource Analyst focused on placement and recruitment, you will partner with hiring managers and candidates throughout the hiring process. You will help Pennie attract talented people, keep recruitments moving, and create a positive hiring experience while making sure each step is handled accurately and fairly.

In this role, you will:

• Partner with hiring managers to find the right talent. You will identify hiring needs, develop recruitment strategies, create NEOGOV requisitions, and help establish qualifications and interview criteria. You will also use LinkedIn Recruiter and other sourcing tools to connect with candidates and build talent pipelines.
• Guide candidates through the hiring process. You will 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 will monitor hiring activity, use recruitment data to identify trends and opportunities, and recommend process improvements. You will also support employment inquiries, documentation, and other HR projects as needed.

We believe great hiring starts with great relationships. Whether you are 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.
