About the job

Humans of HR is an upcoming boutique recruitment agency in Vancouver and is very quickly becoming the go-to agency for hiring and placement of skilled corporate professionals. Combined with our vast network and extraordinary customer-centric approach, we are the obvious choice in helping you find your next home.

We’re recruiting on behalf of a well-established client in the Lower Mainland, in the public sector, for a Compensation Associate to join their Human Resources team.

This is a rare chance to help shape a classification framework, not just maintain one. The organization is in a period of significant change, and you will play a key role in building out new job classifications within a unionized environment.

• Conduct job evaluations using an established point-based plan
• Review and assess reclassification requests, including multi-incumbent requests, and determine eligibility
• Prepare clear, well-supported rationale for any changes to pay grades
• Partner with managers and HR colleagues to understand evolving roles and workflows
• Maintain consistency and internal equity across a broad range of positions
• Manage a high volume of files with strong attention to detail and accuracy
• Work closely with the Compensation, Benefits and HRIS team on related projects
• Over time, support classification work for non-union positions

What You Bring

• Experience in job evaluation and classification within a unionized, public sector environment
• Proven ability to write class specifications from the ground up
• Working knowledge of collective agreements and how they shape classification decisions
• Municipal or local government experience is a strong asset
• A detail-oriented, analytical approach and comfort working within a defined framework
• Strong written communication skills
• Post-secondary education in Human Resources, Business or a related field

What’s on Offer

• A stable, permanent full-time role with a respected public sector employer
• Defined benefit pension plan
• Generous vacation, plus additional time off with service
• Comprehensive benefits package and annual performance bonus
• Option to work a compressed 4-day work week once settled into the role
• The opportunity to make a lasting impact on how the organization is structured
