- Strong knowledge of HR policies, compliance requirements, and employee relations best practices
- Experience with HRIS systems (Rippling preferred) and comfort learning new tools quickly
- Knowledge of Canadian immigration and relocation programs (additional working knowledge of US immigration is ideal)

- Own day-to-day HR operations, including onboarding, employee changes, and compliance administration
- Partner with managers and HRBPs to resolve employee relations issues with empathy, fairness, and speed, focusing primarily on the EPDD functions
- Support benefits, leave, and payroll administration with attention to accuracy and compliance, in particular for Canadian employees (knowledge of US-based requirements is a plus)
- Implement and improve HR processes by using AI tools to increase velocity and reduce manual work
- Serve as the first point of contact for Homies’ HR questions, ensuring a high standard of care and responsiveness
- Collaborate on People programs like surveys, performance, L&D, and hybrid work enablement
- Deliver data-driven insights and reporting to support decision-making across the People team

Our take
Homebase provide employees and businesses with time tracking applications, with a range of other HR functionality built in. Homebase automates the process of managing employee scheduling, and also helps companies improve internal communications.
The company contributes to the reduction of paperwork in an office by turning an array of devices into time clocks that track hours and overtime, while also providing payroll support. This makes it easier for companies to remain in sync, running a more efficient operation as a result.
Given that Homebase's customer base of small businesses is not able to pay a lot for its product, scale is the key driver in the company's future success. With over 100,000 customers already, its significant venture capital backing will ensure that the company will be able to grow (notably it's investing in Canadian talent) to provide its services on a profitable scale.
