Why Should You Hire an Employee Relations Specialist with Penbrothers

Overview of the Role

Candidate Skillset

Experience with scaling organizations, remote teams, or high-growth environments where relationships matter most.

How We Vet Employee Relations Specialist Candidates

We don’t just verify employee relations credentials and experience. Every Employee Relations Specialist candidate completes real workplace conflict scenarios that demonstrate their ability to mediate disputes, investigate issues, and maintain positive employee relationships while ensuring legal compliance.
Every candidate typically goes through validated skills assessments powered by TestGorilla:

  • Employee Relations: Evaluates conflict mediation, investigation skills, and workplace issue resolution capabilities;
  • Business Ethics & Compliance: Tests understanding of employment law, ethical decision-making, and regulatory compliance;
  • Communication: Assesses conflict de-escalation, active listening, and professional mediation skills;
  • Critical Thinking: Measures analytical approach to complex employee situations and strategic relationship management.

Have specific assessment requirements?
We seamlessly integrate your custom tests, mediation simulations, or compliance knowledge evaluations into our vetting process. Whether using our standard assessments or your specialized requirements, only candidates who demonstrate genuine expertise make it through our evaluation.

Ways They'll Collaborate with and Make an Impact on Your Team
