About Elite

Elite Home Health Care is a licensed home care agency that provides professional homecare services in the New York Metropolitan area, Central, and Upstate NY Regions. At Elite, we only hire the most qualified nurses, home health aides and caregivers who are hand-picked based on their skills and capabilities. They are all licensed, insured and cleared with extensive background screening. But most importantly, our caregivers are known for their warmth, attentiveness and reliability. Our main goal is to deliver compassionate, professional, and integrity-centered care to our clients. We work within the community to provide quality home care for individuals in need. We are committed to providing our clients with the best possible and most compassionate care!

Job Summary

The Field Recruiter is an activity-driven role responsible for building Elite’s pipeline of qualified, certified Home Health Aides (HHAs) and Personal Care Aides (PCAs) in the Westchester, NY market. Unlike a traditional, passive recruiting role that relies on job-board sourcing, the Field Recruiter operates on the same activity-tracking model used by Elite’s marketing team: each week, the recruiter plans, completes, and logs a set volume of field activities on a calendar, including community outreach, employer and community partnerships, and HHA/PCA training-school relationships. Those field activities generate a referral pipeline that the Field Recruiter screens, qualifies, and converts into new hires. While the core output of the role is field-sourced referrals rather than orientation delivery, the Field Recruiter maintains a working knowledge of Elite’s onboarding process and is able to step in and facilitate new-hire orientation when needed.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Field Activity Planning & Execution

• Build and run a weekly field activity plan, logged on a shared calendar, following the same activity-tracking model used by Elite’s marketing team.
• Complete a defined weekly volume of field activities, including:
• Community outreach events, job fairs, and local hiring events
• Visits to and partnerships with community organizations, workforce development agencies, faith-based groups, and social service agencies
• Employer partnerships that can serve as candidate referral sources
• In-person visits and ongoing relationship building with HHA/PCA training schools and certification programs
• Attendance at training-school graduations and certification ceremonies to recruit directly from a certified pipeline
• Referral-generation activities with current caregivers and field staff
• Log every field activity on the calendar with date, location, contact, and outcome so activity can be tied to referral and hire results.

Training-School Partnerships

• Build and maintain relationships with local HHA/PCA training schools and program coordinators to become their preferred employer partner.
• Attend graduations and class presentations to meet newly certified aides and recruit them directly into Elite’s hiring process.

Candidate Sourcing, Screening & Tracking

• Source candidate referrals generated through field activity and move them promptly into the hiring process.
• Screen referrals for fit, including conducting interviews, verifying HHA/PCA certification, and collecting initial demographic information.
• Own candidate entry into JazzHR and keep applicant records complete, accurate, and current throughout the pipeline.
• Confirm every applicant is qualified and holds valid, verifiable certification before submitting them for hire.

Onboarding & Orientation Support

• Maintain a working knowledge of Elite’s onboarding and orientation process, including required compliance documentation for each new hire.
• Facilitate weekly new-hire orientation when needed to support the team and maintain hiring continuity.

Reporting

• Track and report weekly field activity, applicants sourced, and applicant-to-hire conversion to the SVP NY Operations.
• Use activity and conversion data to identify the highest-yield referral sources and adjust the weekly activity plan accordingly.
• Activity Log due every Thursday.

Weekly Production Targets

| | | | | --- | --- | --- | | Metric | Target | Frequency | | Applicants sourced | 7 | Per week | | Applicant-to-hire conversion | ≥ 35% | Per week | | Hires (approx.) | 4–5 | Per week |
