As our Human Resources Generalist I – Talent Acquisition, you’ll own the full recruiting lifecycle at Greens Creek, from the moment a hiring manager identifies a staffing need to the day a new hire completes employee orientation. You’ll partner with hiring managers across the operation to plan, source, screen, and select talent; coordinate the travel and logistics that come with hiring for a remote island mine; guide candidates through pre-employment clearance; manage hiring and new employee setup in our HRIS; and deliver the new hire employee orientation that gives every new hire a strong, safe start. This position is based at our Vintage Park office in Juneau, Alaska, and supports the Greens Creek Mine, a remote underground operation located 18 miles south of Juneau on Admiralty Island, accessible only by floatplane or ferry.

About Us
The Greens Creek Mine, located on Admiralty Island 18 miles south of Juneau, is an underground polymetallic mine operating since 1989, employing over 500 people. The mine is owned and operated by Hecla Mining Company, headquartered in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Established in 1891, Hecla has a rich history as a distinguished and respected precious metals producer. Winner of numerous safety and environmental awards, Greens Creek is seeking new team members committed to professional growth and success.
Here’s what you can expect in this role:
- Training first. We provide comprehensive MSHA training during your first four days on the job, followed by HR-specific onboarding on our recruiting systems, hiring policies, and compliance requirements.
- Full-cycle recruiting ownership. You’ll manage every open requisition from intake through offer acceptance, partnering with hiring managers on position requirements, recruiting strategy, and selection decisions.
- Sourcing and outreach. Build candidate pipelines for skilled trades, operations, technical, and professional roles through job boards, career fairs, schools, referrals, and Southeast Alaska community partnerships.
- Screening and selection. Screen applicants, administer pre-employment assessments, prepare candidate assessment reports, and help hiring managers run consistent, well-documented interviews.
- Remote-site logistics. Work with our Travel Coordinator to arrange flights for site interviews and onboarding, and build interview itineraries for candidates and interview teams.
- Offers and clearance. Prepare and extend offers, then guide candidates through background screening, pre-employment medicals, drug screens, and physical demands assessments.
- New hire orientation. Spend one day a month on-site at the mine delivering new hire employee orientation to new and rehired employees, and complete new hire benefit enrollment, and set up personnel files and HR documents so every new hire starts strong.
- HRIS and analytics. Manage recruiting, hiring, and new employee setup in the HRIS, analyze pre-hire screening results, and report recruiting metrics that improve the hiring experience for candidates and managers alike.
We conduct a two-part interview process: an initial phone screen with the hiring manager, followed by an on-site interview to ensure we’re a good match.

Human Resources Assistant Jobs in Alaska: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a human resources assistant in Alaska?
Alaska does not require a state-issued license to work as a human resources assistant, so the path centers on education and credentials. Most employers expect at least an associate degree in human resources or business, though a bachelor's degree strengthens your candidacy at larger organizations. Earning an aPHR certification through HRCI gives candidates without direct experience a recognized credential. Many Alaska employers, including state agencies, accept applicants who demonstrate HRIS proficiency and familiarity with Alaska labor statutes alongside their degree.
Which companies hire human resources assistants in Alaska?
Companies currently hiring human resources assistants in Alaska include Hilton, PCHS of Alaska, and State of Alaska, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Alaska's concentration of state government agencies, federal contractors, and large healthcare systems means consistent openings beyond the private sector.
Which Alaska cities have the most human resources assistant jobs?
Anchorage, Soldotna, and Juneau are the Alaska cities with the most human resources assistant openings. Anchorage drives the bulk of listings as the state's commercial and government hub, home to major healthcare systems and oil industry offices, while Fairbanks and Juneau add volume through University of Alaska campuses, state agency headquarters, and regional medical centers that each maintain dedicated HR functions.
Are there remote human resources assistant jobs in Alaska?
Yes, though they are less common than in purely analytical roles because human resources assistants handle in-person onboarding, physical document verification, and direct employee interactions. About 50% of human resources assistant openings tied to Alaska are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting limited but real flexibility. Tasks most likely to go remote include HRIS data entry, benefits enrollment support, and scheduling coordination.
How can I get hired as a human resources assistant in Alaska with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to administrative assistant or office coordinator roles within Alaska's state agencies or large healthcare systems, where internal transfers into HR support positions are common. Providence Alaska Medical Center and the State of Alaska both post entry-level HR support openings that list no prior HR experience as a hard requirement. Earning an aPHR certification through HRCI before applying signals commitment and compensates for a thin resume. Volunteering with Alaska SHRM chapter events or local workforce development organizations also builds a visible professional network quickly.
