Job description

Talent Acquisition Specialist

Location: Remote / Greater Toronto AreaPosition Type: Contract or Part-Time

About Stem HealthAt Stem Health, we’re building something truly special. We’re a small, thoughtful team reimagining the healthcare experience for individuals seeking an elevated, proactive approach to care. By combining medical excellence with the warmth of hospitality, we deliver personalized, relationship-based primary care in a beautiful, thoughtfully designed space. Our work is data-informed, grounded in time and trust, and focused on developing best-in-class practices that put our clients first and drive meaningful, measurable health outcomes. We’re looking for curious, driven people who want to grow with us and help shape what great care looks like.

The Vision: The Talent Behind the Team

Behind every exceptional care experience is an exceptional team and behind every exceptional team is someone who found them. As Stem Health grows, we need a sharp, relationship-driven recruiter who understands that the people we hire are the single most important investment we make. We are looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to partner with our team on a contract or part-time basis to source, attract, and guide top-tier clinical and operational talent through our hiring process. This is a chance to shape the DNA of a team that is redefining what healthcare looks and feels like in Canada.

The Mission: Building a Team That Cares Differently

As our Talent Recruiter, you are both a strategist and a storyteller.

You will:

• Own the Pipeline: Manage end-to-end recruitment for clinical and non-clinical roles, from intake and job posting through sourcing, screening, interviewing, and offer coordination. You keep the process moving with care and urgency.
• Tell Our Story: You are the first voice many candidates hear from Stem Health. You articulate our mission, culture, and vision in a way that attracts people who align with our values, not just the job description.
• Source with Intention: Go beyond job boards. Tap into professional networks, healthcare communities, LinkedIn, referrals, and creative channels to find the kind of people who don’t just apply for jobs, they get discovered.
• Curate the Candidate Experience: Every touchpoint with a candidate should reflect the Stem Health standard. You ensure candidates feel informed, respected, and genuinely considered throughout the process.
• Partner with Leadership: Work closely with the team to define role requirements, refine job descriptions, develop interview frameworks, and align on hiring priorities as the team scales.

Your Expertise

• Recruiting Fluency: You bring at least 3 years of experience in talent acquisition, ideally with exposure to healthcare, wellness, or startup environments. You know how to recruit for both clinical and corporate roles.
• The Human Touch: You build genuine relationships with candidates. You lead with empathy, communicate with clarity, and treat every candidate interaction as a reflection of the brand.
• Sourcing Savvy: You are skilled with LinkedIn, applicant tracking systems (ATS), and multi-channel sourcing strategies. You know how to find passive talent and convert interest into applications.
• Process-Minded: You bring structure to hiring without making it bureaucratic. You can build interview scorecards, track pipeline metrics, and keep stakeholders informed without overcomplicating the process.
• The Stem Standard: Experience recruiting for concierge, hospitality-forward, or premium service environments is a significant asset. You understand that we’re not just filling roles, we’re curating a team.
• Startup Comfort: You thrive in a fast-moving, evolving environment where priorities shift and you’re comfortable wearing multiple hats. You don’t wait for a process to exist, you help build it.

The Stem Promise: A Different Rhythm of Recruiting

• A Flexible Engagement: This role is designed for contract or part-time flexibility. We value output over hours and trust you to manage your time and deliverables with autonomy.
• Integrated Support: You won’t recruit in a vacuum. You’ll work directly with our leadership team and have full context on our clinical model, culture, and growth plans to make informed hiring decisions.
• Meaningful Impact: Every hire you make directly shapes the care experience for our clients. You’re not filling headcount, you’re building the foundation of a new kind of healthcare team.
• Growth Potential: As Stem Health scales, this role has the potential to evolve into a broader People & Talent function.
