-: My name's Nick Lemke.
I'm an HR specialist, Human Resource specialist.
So basically what I do in my job is I do recruitment
and onboarding for my company.
I work for Topline Federal Credit Union.
So I get to work with all of our hiring managers to try to
find great talent for them
and then once we find that great talent,
make sure they have a great start at Topline.
You know, I might get a job from a manager saying,
"Hey, we're going to start recruiting for, let's say,
a teller," and I say, "Okay, great."
So I'll get that posted onto our job boards
to help start attracting talent.
They'll apply through our applicant system, all that stuff.
But I might do some phone screens,
so talking with candidates, seeing if they are a good fit,
if they're qualified for an interview essentially.
And then once we get them scheduled for an interview,
actually have that interview, sit down with our managers,
talk with those candidates, ask them questions,
things like that, really find out if they're a great fit
for the position and for the company,
and then do some back-office stuff, background checks,
personality profiles, all that fun jazz.
Prepping offers is a part of my job too, so I work with our
hiring managers on pay rates and start dates
and all that fun jazz.
How does the offer fit into our pay structure?
What's fair for them?
What's fair for everyone else?
That's actually a lot more work than it sounds like.
And then if I have an onboarding that day,
a new hire would come in and I'd sit down and go over
all the new hire paperwork, but then also talk to them
about our culture and our policies and everything that.
Really help them feel comfortable in the job,
'cause starting a new job's scary.
Everyone knows that.
So making them feel comfortable and then also helping them
just kind of, I don't want to say holding their hand,
but you know make sure that we're guiding them through
the first couple days so they don't feel like they're lost,
they don't feel like they're just thrown in the woods.
Feel like they're really, you know,
that we're propping them up for success.
Lot of different things going on during the day.
Also, we'll help out with the rest of our HR department
helping with payroll, helping with benefits, helping with
employee relations issues, all sorts of fun stuff.
Lot of different things I can do during the day.
