Build Careers. Change Lives. Grow Yours.

Are you a driven, competitive communicator who thrives in a fast-paced environment where your effort directly translates into success? HeadHunting Inc. is growing — and we're looking for a high-performing Healthcare Recruiter to join our team, supporting clients and candidates across both Canada and the United States.

This is a full-cycle, sales-driven recruiting role. Every call, conversation, and placement you make directly impacts patient care across two countries. This isn't just recruiting — it's recruiting with purpose.

Please note: This is a sales-driven recruiting role, not a Human Resources position. Success is measured by your ability to source, engage, recruit, and place healthcare professionals while building long-term relationships.

What You'll Do

• Own the full recruitment cycle — sourcing, qualifying, closing, and offer negotiation for RNs, LPNs, RPNs, and allied health professionals across Canada and the US
• Make 60–100+ outbound calls per day to source and close candidates through calls, texts, job boards, social media, and referrals
• Build and manage a high-volume pipeline of candidates, handling multiple offers, competing priorities, and fall-offs simultaneously
• Close passive candidates, overcome objections, and navigate difficult conversations around pay, relocation, and counteroffers
• Verify credentials, licensure (Province, state nursing boards, etc.), references, and pre-hire requirements with precision
• Partner with sales, onboarding, and client teams to ensure seamless placements
• Champion retention — stay connected with placed clinicians, extend contracts, and reassign top talent to new opportunities
• Meet and exceed daily, weekly, and monthly metrics set by leadership

What We're Looking For

• Proven track record of hitting metrics — in recruiting, sales, customer service, or any role where drive produced results
• Competitive, money-motivated mindset with uncapped earning ambition
• Thick skin, strong communication skills, and comfort handling high-volume rejection
• Knowledge of Canadian and US healthcare licensing requirements is a strong asset
• Excellent multi-tasking, organizational, and time management skills
• Tech-savvy — comfortable working across multiple platforms, CRMs, and digital tools daily
• Strong sense of urgency, ownership, and accountability
• Open to coaching and continuous improvement

Bonus Points For:

• 2+ year of healthcare recruiting or staffing industry experience
• Experience recruiting Travel Nurses
• Experience recruiting for MSP/VMS healthcare contracts
• Knowledge of medical terminology or clinical roles (RN, LPN, RPN, PSW, allied health)
• Phone-based sales or inside sales experience
• Familiarity with Canadian provincial licensing bodies and / orUS state licensing requirements and Compact Nursing Licenses

What Success Looks Like

• Uncapped earning potential — your effort directly controls your income
• Tools and technology built to support recruiter productivity
• A high-energy, team-first culture where wins are celebrated and growth is rewarded
• The chance to make a meaningful difference in healthcare — across two countries
• Build a strong candidate pipeline
• Meet or exceed recruiting KPIs
• Successfully fill client requisitions
• Maintain high candidate satisfaction
• Generate repeat placements and redeployments
• Build long-term relationships with healthcare professionals
