Job Description

APPLICATIONS RECEIVED THROUGH THIS SYSTEM THAT DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.

The  Wirth Law Office  is a business-minded family law, criminal defense, and small business firm that is on track for aggressive growth. We need an HR professional to join our team and work directly with the owner and administrators. We want to be known for helping clients navigate complicated legal matters and come out of an extremely emotional process feeling as though they are a better person, in a better position, and that they had a team behind them that really cared and fought for them. We are growing fast, and we need an  HR professional who can hit the ground running.

We’re seeking a motivated and detail-oriented HR professional to be the go-to person for all things human resources at our growing law firm. In this hands-on role, you’ll handle day-to-day HR tasks, including recruiting, onboarding, payroll, compliance, and employee support. You’ll work closely with leadership to ensure our policies and practices meet current employment laws and help foster a positive workplace culture. This position is perfect for someone who enjoys being directly involved and making an immediate impact, without the layers of management found in larger organizations.

In the first paragraph, explain what you believe are the 3 most important qualities needed in someone who works as an HR professional at a law firm and why you believe they are the most important qualities. In the second paragraph, explain why you applied to this particular ad. As a closing sentence, please write, “I have read the instructions contained in the job posting and have followed the instructions."

Email your resume and cover letter in PDF format to success@wirthlawoffice.com . The subject line of the email should have your last name (all caps), followed by the position you are applying for in lower case, followed by one word that you would use to describe yourself in all caps.
