HR Coordinator job description

The coordinator keeps the department running: maintaining personnel records, processing starters and leavers, scheduling interviews, chasing references and background checks, answering the shared inbox, and keeping the filing accurate enough to survive an audit. BLS files the work under human resources assistants, except payroll and timekeeping, 96,500 jobs in 2025 at a median wage of $50,610 in May 2025, banded from $37,340 to $68,280. Typical entry is an associate's degree, the lowest formal bar in the department, and BLS projects the occupation to shrink 6 percent this decade while still producing about 7,900 openings a year.
