Why join the Contra Costa County Human Resources Department?
Contra Costa County is seeking to fill two (2) Human Resources Systems Specialists in the Human Resources Department.

Contra Costa County recognizes that our employees are our greatest strength. In order to achieve our goal of maximizing the effective use of Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) to meet organizational goals and requirements, we have an outstanding opportunity for someone who is a logical thinker who loves to troubleshoot technical issues and implement strategies to address problem areas. This position is unique in that it is part of the Human Resources Department, but this is not a typical HR role. We are building a Functional Support Team with advanced level skills. The ability to understand and learn HR business processes is required to be successful, but you do not need to have prior HR experience. The successful candidate for this position will have advanced operational and technical knowledge of automated enterprise information management systems, preferably PeopleSoft. If you have hands-on technical experience working with a relational database/HRIS system at a skilled "IT" position level, then this may be the job for you!

We are looking for someone who has:

  • Excellent interpersonal skills when working with various customers and peers to accomplish goals
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills
  • Creative thinking and enjoys brainstorming in a team environment
  • A good understanding of current trends in HRIS with a focus on product and service development, delivery, and support, and can apply key technologies
  • Great communication skills
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and time management skills
What you will typically be responsible for:
  • Performing complex and highly confidential personnel or benefits duties using PeopleSoft
  • Being a functional Human Resources liaison on the PeopleSoft Personnel or Benefits System and other related County HRIS systems
  • Developing, analyzing, and verifying complex system queries
  • Coordinating and implementing provisions of collective bargaining agreements including negotiated salary increases and benefit plan changes
  • Creating ad-hoc queries, generating reports, and providing analysis of data in the form of complex Excel spreadsheets, pivot tables, and charts
  • Maintaining awareness of pertinent laws, ordinances, regulations, policies, MOU's, rules, and regulations and advising operating departments and human resources staff as necessary
A few reasons you might love this job:
  • Your work will have a direct impact on the County employees who provide critical services to the community
  • You will help create technical solutions and tools for use in County departments
  • You will work with a great team that is passionate about their work
  • You will have ample learning opportunities to allow you to develop your skills and abilities
  • You will be challenged daily to explore alternative and creative solutions to meet the needs of customers within the County's rules and regulations
A few challenges you might face in this job:
  • You will work in a fast-paced political environment with input from multiple sources with shifting priorities and competing deadlines
  • You will have many stakeholder groups to consider, sometimes with competing interests and agendas that may be outside the scope of the County's rules and regulations; you will be expected to use tact and diplomacy when responding
  • You will be expected to exercise sound judgment in making decisions on sensitive issues with a high consequence of error
Competencies Required:
  • Analyzing & Interpreting Data: Drawing meaning and conclusions from quantitative or qualitative data
  • Critical Thinking: Analytically and logically evaluating information, propositions, and claims
  • Delivering Results: Meeting organizational goals and customer expectations and making decisions that produce high-quality results by applying technical knowledge, analyzing problems, and calculating risks
  • Innovative Problem Solving: Identifying and analyzing problems in order to propose new ways to do business
  • Displaying Ownership and Accountability: Holding self and others accountable for measurable high-quality, timely, and cost-effective results
  • Building & Maintaining Relationships: Establishing rapport and maintaining mutually productive relationships
  • Presentation Skill: Formally delivering information to groups
  • Learning Agility: Seeking learning opportunities and applying the lessons to one’s work
  • Writing: Communicating effectively in writing
  • Involving Others (Engaging Teams): Engaging others for input, contribution, and shared responsibility for outcomes
  • Mathematical Facility: Performing computations and solving mathematical problems
  • Innovation: Imagining and devising new and better ways of doing things
