Case Study:
Placing an HR Generalist with Leave Experience at a Troutdale Trucking Company
About the Industry:
Trucking companies manage large teams of drivers, and handling employee leave takes experience with federal and Oregon rules, which is what this Troutdale company needed.
Location:
Troutdale, OR (Portland Metro)
Position Title:
HR Generalist & Leave Administration
Position Type:
Temporary
Industry Type:
Trucking
Testimonial from Client
Challenge:
The client had a vacant HR Generalist position, and the role required experience managing employee leaves. They needed someone who could start within five days.
The position was temporary, with the possibility of converting to a full-time hire. The company reached out to our Gresham-area HR staffing team to fill it.
Solution:
We went to our database of vetted candidates and looked specifically for HR Generalists with employee leave management experience. Each candidate also had to meet the client’s practical needs:
- Work onsite
- Start within five days of hire
- Commit to a four-month contract, with the possibility of extension or conversion
Leave experience narrowed the field quickly. We reviewed and engaged two candidates, vetted one, and presented that one person to the client.
Outcome: Trucking Company Fills HR Generalist & Leave Administration Role in Troutdale
Mulberry Talent Partners, a recruiting firm serving the Gresham area, filled the role in one week. The company now has an HR Generalist who can manage employee leaves correctly and support the rest of its HR work.
The temporary setup also gives both sides time to see if the fit is right before deciding on an extension or a full-time hire.
