Either way, you’re confident, curious, and highly motivated to build a thriving portfolio in a fast‑moving space.

You’ll have:

• Proven experience in agency recruitment with a strong track record (bonus if in healthcare or medical staffing)

• Strong business development skills, calling clients to ascertain their recruitment needs
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and listening skills with a consultative approach
