HR Operations Specialist (USA Healthcare Industry) - EST Hours (Remote)

ISTA Personnel Solutions is a dynamic, fast-growing BPO company providing dedicated operational support to U.S.-based clients. We are not a recruitment agency — we act as a direct extension of our clients’ teams, delivering high-quality service with precision, efficiency, and a personal touch.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Working Hours: Mon – Fri 9:00am – 6:00pm EST (15:00pm - 00:00am OR 16:00pm - 01:00am South African Time, depending on daylight savings in the USA)

About the role:

This is not a standalone HR role — you will be working as part of a structured HR team, reporting directly to the HR Manager and executing HR operations tasks with precision, speed, and a high standard of accuracy.

The initial focus of this role will be supporting a significant company-wide employee transition project — a documentation-heavy process requiring someone who is highly organised, detail-driven, and capable of managing high volumes without compromising quality. Beyond this project, the role transitions into steady ongoing HR operations support across a large employee base.

If you are methodical, mature, and take pride in getting the details right — this role is for you.
