Bilingual HR Generalist

LaSalle Network is partnering with a long-standing, multi-site manufacturing organization on Chicago's south side to hire a Bilingual HR Generalist. This is a contract-to-hire opportunity stepping into a highly visible plant HR role! This team needs someone who is confident, service-oriented, and able to pivot quickly, someone with a strong HR foundation who can partner closely with leadership while also being hands-on with day-to-day employee support. If you enjoy fast-paced plant environments, high-touch employee relations, and being the "go-to" HR presence on-site, this could be a great fit.

What You'll Do

• Serve as an on-site HR partner for a manufacturing plant, supporting a predominantly Spanish-speaking employee population.
• Translate and support HR communications during employee relations conversations (including sensitive issues/investigations).
• Support core HR operations, including onboarding coordination, employment eligibility/verification processes, and HR policy consistency.
• Assist with recruiting and hiring workflow (high-volume and community-based recruiting approaches as needed).
• Partner with plant leadership and HR leadership through change, process improvements, and compliance-related updates.
• Support and collaborate with an HR Coordinator on-site, helping elevate HR practices from "coordination" to true generalist support.
• Work within or alongside an HRIS/ATS environment (experience with Paycor is a plus).

What's Needed

• Bilingual Spanish/English (required) with comfort supporting varied dialects/cultural communication styles.
• 3+ years of HR experience (generalist exposure preferred; manufacturing/plant HR is a big plus).
• Comfort operating in a union environment (or willingness to learn quickly).
• Confidence and judgment to handle employee-facing issues with professionalism and discretion.
• Strong customer service mindset and ability to adapt priorities in a dynamic setting.

What's In It for You

• Contract-to-hire (Project-to-Hire).
• Pay rate: $25$30 per hour (W2).
• Benefits: LaSalle Network consultants are eligible to enroll in benefits. For details, visit
