Role Overview

As an Independent Healthcare Recruiter, you’ll play a vital role in helping our clients build world-class organizations by sourcing, screening, and placing top-tier healthcare talent. This is a high-opportunity role with an unlimited earnings potential — you’ll operate independently and manage your own success.

Key Responsibilities

• Talent Sourcing
  Use diverse channels — job boards, social media, referrals, networks — to identify qualified healthcare professionals (sales, operations, lab staff, revenue cycle, etc.).

• Screening & Interviewing
  Conduct initial phone screens and interviews to evaluate candidate qualifications, availability, and cultural fit.

• Database & Applicant Tracking
  Maintain accurate, up-to-date records in our candidate management system; monitor and report on the progress of each search.

• Client & Candidate Relationship Building
  Develop strong, trust-based relationships with both hiring clients and candidates. Act as a point of value and insight for both.

• Compliance & Credentialing Oversight
  Ensure all candidates satisfy licensing, certification, and other credentialing requirements as dictated by the client or regulatory bodies.

• Reporting & Feedback
  Provide regular updates to leadership on activity metrics, successes, challenges, and market insights.

What We’re Looking For

• Prior experience in recruiting — ideally in healthcare, laboratory diagnostics, or related life sciences fields.

• Alternatively, solid performance in a healthcare sales role and readiness for a new challenge in recruiting.

• Deep understanding of the various roles, certifications, and licensing in healthcare staffing.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; strong negotiator and facilitator.

• Self-starter mindset: ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

• Stellar organization and time management; able to juggle multiple searches simultaneously.

What’s In It For You

• Unlimited Commission Potential — high-earning rewards for high performance.

• Flexible Work Schedule — remote work, autonomy over how and when you work.

• Supportive Infrastructure — access to our extensive candidate database, recruiting tools, and industry relationships.

• Meaningful Impact — help build world-class healthcare organizations with quality talent.
