About Treeswift
In the face of rising threats, increasing pressure on affordability, and unprecedented demand for power, Treeswift empowers energy companies to modernize their field work to meet the growth and challenges ahead.
We build physical AI for the field worker: whether on foot or in a vehicle, our technology is an ironman suit for engineers, linemen, and vegetation crews: same worker, same boots on the ground, now operating at 10x productivity. Our platform is powered by cutting edge hardware, sensors (LiDAR, camera, etc…), AI and software designed to revolutionize work in the toughest environments.
Our technology has enabled our customers to reduce wildfire risk, regulatory and outage risk from vegetation, avoid delays and cost overruns in new construction, and accelerate recovery from severe storms.
To tackle this challenge, we are bringing together a team of mission-driven experts with deep industry experience in robotics (Penn, Caltech, CMU) and enterprise software development (Palantir, Stripe, Oracle, MongoDB). We have raised funding from leading investors including Penny Pritzker’s Inspired Capital.
We are headquartered in midtown Manhattan, with additional offices in San Francisco and Philadelphia.
Our growth is only accelerating. We’re looking for deeply curious and highly ambitious people who want to have a real world impact. Come build the future of (field) work with us.
The Position:
Treeswift is looking for a Recruiting & People Operations Associate to support our hiring efforts and help build a strong foundation for our People Operations function as we continue to grow.
In this role, you'll work closely with our recruiting team, hiring managers, and employees to support both the recruiting process and day-to-day People Operations. You'll help coordinate interviews, manage candidate communication, support employee onboarding, and keep our people processes organized and running smoothly.
We're looking for someone who is exceptionally detail-oriented, communicates well, and thrives in a fast-paced startup or high-growth environment. You'll take ownership of key recruiting and people operations workflows while helping identify opportunities to improve how we work.
This is a great fit for someone who enjoys the operational side of recruiting, cares deeply about candidate and employee experience, and is excited to help build and scale People processes as the company grows.
You'll be a key member of the People Operations team, working across recruiting and broader employee operations.
What You'll Do:
Recruiting Operations
Own interview scheduling and coordination across multiple roles and hiring teams, including virtual and in-person interviews across our three different office locations.
Serve as a primary point of contact for candidates throughout the interview process, ensuring timely communication and a positive candidate experience.
Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to manage competing priorities, anticipate scheduling needs, and keep searches moving forward.
Coordinate interview logistics, ensuring candidates and interviewers are prepared and have the information they need.
Support day-to-day recruiting operations in Ashby (our ATS), including managing job postings, maintaining accurate candidate records and keeping hiring workflows up to date.
Identify opportunities to improve recruiting workflows and help build more efficient processes as we scale.
Help strengthen our candidate experience and employer brand through thoughtful, consistent communication.
Support sourcing efforts as needed, including candidate outreach and pipeline management.
Proactively flag opportunities, suggest improvements, and take ownership of resolving them.
People Operations & Employee Experience
Support the employee onboarding process, including coordinating new hire logistics, preparing onboarding materials, and helping ensure a smooth transition from candidate to employee alongside HR.
Partner with the People Ops and Recruiting team to coordinate employee lifecycle activities, including onboarding, employee changes, and offboarding.
Help build and maintain People Operations documentation, internal resources, and processes as the company scales.
Identify opportunities to improve internal workflows and create a more organized, consistent employee experience.
Support additional recruiting and People Operations projects as needed.
Who You Are:
You have 1–3+ years of experience in recruiting coordination, recruiting operations, sourcing, or people operations at an early-stage or high-growth company.
You're exceptionally organized and detail-oriented. You catch the small things, keep track of moving pieces, and take pride in getting things right.
You're a strong communicator. You know how to work with different stakeholders, keep people informed, and build good relationships across a team.
You're comfortable in a fast-paced environment where priorities change and processes aren't always fully built out.
You're excited about working across both recruiting and People Operations and helping create a great experience for candidates and employees.
You look for ways to make things better. You're not afraid to suggest a new approach or take ownership of improving an existing process.
You're proactive and reliable. When you own something, people can count on you to follow through.
You're comfortable working in an ATS (we use Ashby!) and understand the importance of maintaining accurate recruiting data.
You're based in NYC and comfortable being in the office regularly.

Tips for Your Human Resources Project Specialist Job Search
Tailor your resume to project scope
Human resources project specialists are hired to manage defined initiatives, so your resume needs to show project lifecycle ownership, not just departmental duties. Quantify the scope of HR projects you've led, including team size, timeline, and the HR function affected.
Highlight cross-functional stakeholder work
Many job postings for this role require experience coordinating between HR, IT, finance, and operations. Call out specific cross-functional projects on your resume rather than listing general collaboration skills. Hiring managers want to see you've managed competing priorities across departments.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists human resources project specialist openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter openings by HR project type
Job titles vary widely: some postings say HR project specialist, others say HR program manager or HR transformation analyst. Search multiple variations and filter by the HR function you specialize in, such as HRIS, benefits, or talent operations, to avoid missing relevant openings.
Prepare a project portfolio example
Interviewers for HR project roles consistently ask for a detailed walkthrough of one end-to-end project. Prepare a concise two-minute summary of a completed HR initiative, covering the problem, your approach, stakeholders involved, and the measurable outcome.
Negotiate using project complexity, not just tenure
When discussing compensation, frame your ask around the complexity and scale of HR projects you've managed rather than years of experience. Demonstrating that you've led system migrations or org-wide policy rollouts positions you differently than candidates with similar tenure but narrower scope.
Human Resources Project Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most human resources project specialists?
The most active employers for human resources project specialists right now are Orkin, TikTok, and Fivetran, and the most openings are in California, New York, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Healthcare systems, financial services firms, and large professional services organizations tend to maintain consistent demand for this role.
How many human resources project specialist jobs are remote?
About 72% of human resources project specialist openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting strong employer flexibility for this role. Project work tied to HRIS implementations, HR policy development, and workforce analytics tends to be the most remote-compatible, while roles involving onboarding, training delivery, or change management often require some on-site presence.
How do you become a human resources project specialist?
Start by earning a bachelor's degree in human resources, business, or a related field, then build foundational HR experience in areas like talent acquisition, benefits, or employee relations. From there, take on project coordination responsibilities within an HR team. Earning a certification such as SHRM-CP or PMP strengthens your candidacy and signals project management fluency alongside HR expertise.
Can you get a human resources project specialist job with little experience?
Yes, entry-level human resources project specialist roles exist, particularly at large employers running structured HR transformation programs. Candidates with internship experience in HR operations, volunteer project coordination, or coursework in project management can compete for junior-level openings. Emphasizing any exposure to HRIS tools, process documentation, or cross-functional coordination helps differentiate you from candidates with no HR background at all.
What does the human resources project specialist interview process look like?
Most interviews for this role include a phone screen with a recruiter, followed by a structured interview with an HR manager or director covering both behavioral and situational questions. A second round often involves a panel with stakeholders from HR operations or IT. Expect questions about how you've managed project timelines, handled competing priorities, and communicated status updates to leadership.
Where can I find and apply to human resources project specialist jobs?
You can find and apply to human resources project specialist jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your experience level and specialization, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
