A simple structure
Three useful details are enough. Replace every highlighted prompt with something true from your own work.
HR Assistant with [your experience] in [setting or specialty].
Skilled in [two relevant skills] and comfortable with [tool, system, or equipment].
[Action verb] a measurable result by [your number].
Lead with the headcount you support and your HRIS by name. A line such as supporting 450 employees in Workday tells a recruiter your scale and tooling immediately. Follow it with one volume metric, like onboardings per month or interviews scheduled each week.
Onboarding volume, I-9 completion rate, file audit accuracy, ticket response time, and open enrollment participation. Those show throughput and accuracy, which is exactly what the role is judged on. Two numbers in the summary is plenty, so put the rest in your bullets.
Yes. Workday, BambooHR, ADP, UKG, and Paycom are common screening keywords, and naming the one in the posting helps you clear applicant tracking filters. List one or two systems you used daily rather than every platform you have ever opened.
Anchor on transferable administrative work: recordkeeping volume, scheduling, data entry accuracy, and confidentiality. Add HR coursework or a certificate if you have one. Avoid claiming generalist, employee relations, or compliance authority you have not held, because interviewers test those claims fast.
An assistant summary emphasizes volume and accuracy in support work such as onboarding, files, scheduling, and data entry. A generalist summary emphasizes judgment, including employee relations, policy interpretation, and investigations. Stay in the support lane unless you have genuinely owned generalist duties.
