Position Overview
Primary Purpose of Position
The primary purpose of this position is to provide professional human resources support and consultation for HR Operations, with responsibility for accurate HRIS/Banner transaction processing, personnel action review, leave reporting support, payroll-related coordination, and HR data integrity. The position supports the University’s permanent SHRA, EHRA Non-Faculty, EHRA Faculty, temporary, and student employment processes by reviewing, entering, validating, and resolving personnel and pay-related actions in Banner and related HR systems.
This position serves as a professional resource to campus departments, employees, supervisors, HR colleagues, Payroll, Benefits Shared Services, and other University partners regarding HR operations, leave reporting, personnel action processing, and related policy/procedural requirements. Work requires the interpretation and application of HR policies, payroll deadlines, leave reporting requirements, personnel data standards, and University/System Office procedures. The position evaluates transaction issues, identifies errors or inconsistencies, recommends corrective action, and helps ensure that employee records, pay-related actions, leave records, and HR data are processed accurately, timely, and in compliance with applicable requirements.
The position performs work that directly supports the University’s HR business operations and carries institutional impact because errors or delays may affect employee pay, leave balances, personnel records, compliance reporting, onboarding, separation processing, and departmental operations. The position is expected to exercise independent judgment within established policy and procedural frameworks, communicate complex HR process information clearly to campus customers, protect confidential employee information, and contribute to continuous improvement of HR Operations workflows, reports, training materials, and customer service practices.

Entry Level HR Consultant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level hr consultant job?
Entry level hr consultant roles typically look for candidates with a degree in human resources, business, or a related field, though internship experience, HR coursework, and familiarity with applicant tracking systems can give you a real edge. Highlight any recruiting, onboarding, or employee relations projects from internships or class work. Certifications like the SHRM-CP Student Edition or aPHR are also valued at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level hr consultants?
Companies hiring entry level hr consultants right now include ICF, OneDigital, and Stitch Fix, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a wide range of employers, including staffing firms, professional services companies, healthcare systems, and large corporations building out their HR teams.
Are there remote entry level hr consultant jobs?
Yes, though many roles at this level are on-site or hybrid to support in-person onboarding and employee relations work. About 80% of entry level hr consultant openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, so candidates with strong communication skills and experience using HR software can find flexible options among current listings.
Are these new grad hr consultant jobs?
Yes, many of these listings are new grad hr consultant roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates, junior candidates, and applicants with zero to two years of experience. A posting is typically new-grad friendly when it lists a degree as a requirement but accepts internships, volunteer HR work, or a portfolio of relevant projects in place of full-time professional experience.
Which industries hire the most entry level hr consultants?
Entry Level hr consultant roles concentrate in Retail, Education, and Insurance, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026.
