• Deliver results by meeting or exceeding expectations related to candidate quality, speed of hire, and process efficiency.
• Apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills to develop scalable and maintainable recruiting solutions, processes, and workflows.
• Maintain exceptional administrative standards, ensuring that no tasks, follow-ups, or candidate communications fall through the cracks.
• Work autonomously once ramped up, managing priorities, deadlines, and multiple searches simultaneously.
• Collaborate as needed with internal stakeholders to clarify role requirements and align on recruiting strategies, particularly for healthcare and executive positions.

Essential Skills

• At least 3 years of recruiting experience, including a minimum of 1 year of full-cycle recruiting with independent candidate closing.

• 3–5+ years of sourcing experience, particularly for high-level and executive candidates.
• Demonstrated ability to manage full lifecycle executive recruiting, including independently closing candidates.
• Strong talent acquisition skills, including candidate sourcing, screening, interviewing, and offer management.
• Experience using applicant tracking systems (ATS) to manage candidates and requisitions.
• Proven ability to think critically and problem-solve to develop scalable and maintainable recruiting solutions.

• Strong organizational skills, with the ability to handle multiple searches and priorities simultaneously.
• Demonstrated ownership mindset, taking responsibility for outcomes and driving processes forward.
• Consistent track record of delivering results in a recruiting environment, measured by outreach volume, interviews per week, and candidate progression.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Healthcare recruiting experience, particularly in executive or specialized roles, is a significant advantage.
• Experience recruiting for executive, specialty, or other high-level candidate profiles.
