• Own full lifecycle recruiting: intake/qualify, interview coordination, feedback, negotiation, and close.
• Manage post-placement success: support retention and performance of talent on assignment.
• Contract staffing focus: ideally has managed ~12+ contractors on billing at once.
• Maintain strong workflow hygiene in the ATS and support accurate pipeline/activity tracking.
• Navigate VMS-driven client processes.
• Use AI tools as part of day-to-day productivity (company uses Microsoft Copilot within Office 365).

What We’re Looking ForMust-Haves

• Demonstrated history of 360/full-desk recruiting (client + recruiting), not recruiting-only.
• Strong sourcing capability (outreach, networking, passive talent strategies).
• Client-facing confidence and experience with account management and/or business development.
• Contract staffing experience with post-placement / on-assignment management.
• Experience using an ATS, job boards, and social recruiting.
• Traits: good humor, emotionally intelligent (“read the room”), scrappy/resilient, professionally curious.

• Exposure to state/local government clients and/or working a public-sector portfolio.
• Familiarity with VMS environments (Vector experience a plus).

Types of Roles You’ll Support (Examples)

• Healthcare (contract, long-term): RNs, Nurse Practitioners, Medical Assistants, Phlebotomists.
• Non-clinical/non-healthcare: Senior Accountants, Tax Accountants, Paralegals.
• Plus a smaller portfolio of private clients.
