Tekmetric•Houston, TX

About The Position

Tekmetric is hiring a People Operations Coordinator in our Houston HQ to support the People & Culture team across recruiting, onboarding, and employee experience. This is a hands-on role for someone who loves project management, gets a small thrill from getting through the daily to-do list, and wants to grow inside a fast-moving People org. You'll be the connective tissue between candidates, new hires, and the rest of the team - making sure interviews happen on time, new hires land smoothly, and our people programs run without friction. About half of your week will be interview scheduling; the rest is onboarding logistics, HR admin, and culture work.

Requirements

2-4 years of experience in recruiting coordination, HR/people operations, or a comparable role. We're open to candidates from executive assistant, project coordination, event planning, or office management backgrounds - if you've juggled high-volume logistics and multiple stakeholders, we want to hear from you.
Experience scheduling high-volume, multi-interviewer interviews across time zones using an ATS and calendar tools. Greenhouse and Google Workspace experience preferred, but comfort learning new systems quickly matters more.
Strong organizational skills and the judgment to triage when everything feels urgent.
Working knowledge of an HCM/HRIS (Rippling, Lattice, or similar) - managing workflows, processes, and pulling basic reports.
Sharp attention to detail and follow-through, especially in work where small errors have real consequences - compliance docs, interview logistics, employee data.
Clear, professional written and verbal communication. You'll often be the first impression candidates, new hires, and employees have of Tekmetric, a true Brand Ambassador.
Genuine interest in using AI tools to work smarter: experimenting with new approaches, automating repetitive tasks, and lifting team productivity.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with onboarding logistics and HR compliance, including I-9 verification, training completion tracking, and HRIS record keeping is a plus.

Responsibilities

Own complex, later-stage interview scheduling across multiple time zones - video, onsite, and panel formats.
Coordinate the full logistics around onsite interviews: room reservations, visitor access, travel, and accommodations.
Be the point of contact for candidates and interviewers when things shift last minute. Resolve conflicts quickly and professionally.
Deliver a consistent, high-quality candidate experience from first scheduling email through interview completion.
Bring fresh thinking to how we schedule and coordinate - including how we use AI and automation to move faster without losing the human touch.
Run end-to-end onboarding logistics: training travel and accommodations, session scheduling, and Swag Store management so new hires get their gear on day one.
Manage I-9 completion and verification, and keep employee records accurate in our HRIS.
Track mandatory new hire training and follow up to hit 100% completion on time.
Administer employee recognition programs and pulse surveys.
Own incoming swag, postal, and gift card requests through Jira.
