We are looking for someone who wants to be part of transforming the way we attract, engage, and select the best talent!

As a Manager of Allied Health Recruiting, a typical day might include:

• Leading, coaching, and developing a team of recruiters and candidate experience navigators to achieve recruitment goals and build a culture of excellence.
• Partnering with hiring managers and clinical leaders to understand workforce needs and provide consultative recruiting support.
• Leveraging recruitment technologies such as ATS and CRM systems to track progress, measure outcomes, and optimize workflows.
• Guiding the team in developing innovative sourcing strategies to build a strong and engaged candidate pipeline.
• Serving as a talent advisor by providing market intelligence, compensation insights, and data-driven recommendations.

This role might be for you if:

• You thrive in a leadership role and enjoy empowering others to reach their full potential.
