Dear Mr. Wilson,

Your job advertisement on [URL address] for the Human Resources Manager position at [Company X] caught my attention. With a track record of recruiting, hiring and training over 800 employees across four business sectors, including [Company X]’s industry, I am convinced about my ability to perform the job duties listed in the vacancy. Therefore, I want you to consider this application for the human resources position at your establishment in Washington, D.C.

To shortly introduce myself, my name is [Jennifer Thomas] and I have been working as an HR assistant and generalist for the past four years at [Company Y]. I stumbled upon an interesting blog post about [Company X]’s process of onboarding new employees in the [Industry]. I believe that my experience in this field can add value to the development of your onboarding program. In addition, the weekly training and coaching sessions listed in the job description also appeals to me. These sessions can drive my professional growth in recruitment and the selection of retail employees, which happens to be exactly what I search for in my career path. I am excited about the prospect to work in an environment that is both personally and professionally fulfilling.

In my current role as an HR generalist at [Company Y], I create and implement hiring programs to support the organization’s long-term growth and expansion. I received this assignment due to my last year’s achievements. In 2021, I hired 19 full-time specialists and managed the entire recruiting and onboarding process with an average time-to-fill of 23 days. According to a conducted client satisfaction survey, we managed to maintain a consistent 96% positive feedback. I received recognition for these results (see references). Currently, I seek to obtain a new, challenging and growth oriented position.

I welcome the opportunity to discuss my candidacy and my potential contribution to the development of your onboarding program. I’ve attached my references and resume for your review. You can reach me at your convenience on [Phone number] to arrange an interview or if you have additional questions about my application. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards, 

Jennifer Thomas
