The ideal candidate is equally comfortable managing HR operations and compliance, leading full-cycle recruiting efforts, and partnering with leaders to create an engaging, high-performing workplace culture. This person is organized, detail-oriented, and confident balancing employee support, administrative responsibilities, and business partnership while driving positive employee experiences from hire to retire.

  • Year-end bonus program for ALL employees (Garff Giveback)
  • Employee discounts on vehicle purchase, parts, service and more!

What You'll Do

As an HR Manager you will not be responsible for managing direct reports, but rather be responsible for serving as the primary HR resource for the dealership, balancing employee support, operational excellence, and compliance/administrative needs while helping create an outstanding workplace culture.

Lead HR Operations & Compliance

  • Serve as the go-to resource for employees and managers by interpreting policies, answering HR-related questions, and providing guidance on employment matters.
  • Own the day-to-day administrative aspects of key HR programs and processes, ensuring compliance with employment laws, company policies, and HR best practices.
  • Manage employee records, onboarding documentation, I-9 administration, background screenings, drug testing, MVR reporting, and new hire compliance requirements.
  • Support benefits administration, employee enrollments, leave of absence and FMLA processes, unemployment claims, and workplace incident reporting.

Deliver an Exceptional Employee Experience

  • Coordinate and present weekly onboarding and orientation programs that help new employees feel welcomed, prepared, and connected from day one.
  • Coordinate regular 30/60/90-day follow-ups with new hires to support engagement, retention, and long-term success.
  • Coordinate employee recognition programs, engagement initiatives, and culture-building activities that reinforce company values.

Talent Acquisition & Recruitment

  • Own the full-cycle recruiting process from start to finish, partnering with hiring managers to attract and hire top talent.
  • Create and manage job postings, source candidates, conduct phone screens, coordinate interviews, and guide candidates through the selection process.
  • Partner with leadership to assess talent, make hiring recommendations, and ensure a positive candidate experience from application through onboarding.
  • Track recruiting activity, monitor hiring metrics, and identify opportunities to improve hiring effectiveness and time-to-fill.

Partner with Leaders to Build Strong Teams

  • Act as a trusted advisor to dealership leadership on employee relations, coaching, performance management, and workplace concerns.
  • Support managers in navigating employee issues, conducting difficult conversations, and driving positive outcomes for both employees and the business.
  • Identify trends and recommend solutions that improve retention, engagement, and overall team effectiveness.

Support Training, Development & Communication

  • Coordinate training programs and leadership development initiatives that help employees and managers grow their skills and careers.
  • Facilitate employee surveys, analyze feedback, and partner with leadership to implement meaningful improvements.
  • Promote clear, consistent communication across the dealership and celebrate team achievements internally and externally.

Leverage HR Technology & Workforce Data

  • Become a Workday subject matter expert, supporting managers and employees with system transactions, reporting, and troubleshooting.
  • Track key workforce metrics, identify trends, and help leadership make informed decisions regarding engagement, retention, and organizational effectiveness.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
