Job description

Healthcare Recruiter – Sales & Relationship Management

Location: Austin, TX | In-office, with work-from-home Fridays

Start your career. Build relationships. Grow your earnings potential. Make an impact.

Graduating soon, recently graduated, or a few years into your career and ready for something new? This role was built with you in mind. At Connected, you'll develop new skills, build meaningful relationships, and see the results of your hard work.

No recruiting, sales, or healthcare experience is required. A hands‑on, 90‑day training program, led by mentors and leaders invested in your success, will teach you everything you need to know.

About Connected

Connected is a specialized staffing and recruiting company focused on healthcare and educational services. Founded in 2021, Connected partners with hundreds of organizations nationwide, from Fortune 500 hospital systems to local school districts, connecting them with talented professionals through travel, contract, and permanent staffing.

The mission is to connect professionals with opportunities where they can thrive while helping organizations deliver exceptional care and services to their communities.

The Role

As a Healthcare Recruiter, you will connect travel nurses and allied health professionals with healthcare facilities across the country. You will build relationships, manage your own candidate pipeline, and develop the sales skills needed to close placements that make a real difference in patient care.

What You’ll do:

• Build relationships with healthcare professionals and understand their career goals.
• Source and engage candidates through recruiting platforms and creative outreach strategies.
• Match candidates with opportunities that align with their experience and preferences.
• Manage follow‑ups, candidate communication, and your recruiting pipeline.
• Partner with healthcare facilities to meet their staffing needs.
• Navigate sales conversations, negotiate offers, and guide candidates through placements.
• Use recruiting technology, data, and AI tools to improve your workflow.

You’ll own your work while collaborating with a team that shares ideas and supports one another.

You should know how you’ll be paid before deciding whether a role is right for you, so here it is upfront:

• Base salary: $52,000 annually
• Commission: Uncapped earning potential
• Year‑one on‑target earnings: $75,000+
• Long‑term potential: Six figures, based on performance

Your base salary provides a foundation, and commission grows as you develop your skills and make placements. The full commission structure is explained during the interview process.

Benefits Include:

• Health insurance
• 401(k)
• 20 days of PTO/sick time
• Work‑from‑home Fridays, plus a monthly WFH balance

Your first 90 days are built around learning.

The hands‑on training program pairs you with mentors, a team lead, and other leaders who are invested in your development. You’ll have plenty of chances to ask questions, get feedback, and put your skills into practice.

What You’ll Learn:

• Recruiting fundamentals and healthcare staffing.
• Candidate sourcing, outreach, and relationship management.
• Sales conversations, negotiation, and closing placements.
• Recruiting technology, AI tools, and pipeline management.
• Goal setting, performance expectations, and strategies for growing your recruiting business.

As you gain experience, you’ll take greater ownership of your pipeline and grow your earnings alongside your performance.

Curiosity, coachability, and a willingness to learn matter more than experience. You don't have to arrive as an expert; you just need to arrive ready to grow.

Meet the Team

Connected is a close‑knit team of 30+ employees based in Austin, Texas, and still growing.

Outside of work, the team enjoys exploring Austin, traveling, outdoor adventures, and live music. Goals are taken seriously here, but work should also be an enjoyable place to spend your day.

Teammates share ideas, learn from one another, and celebrate progress together. Everyone here wants to see you succeed.

You don't have to fit a particular mold to belong here. Different backgrounds, personalities, perspectives, and ideas make the team stronger.

Who Thrives in This Role

This role is a strong match for people who are excited to learn, connect with others, and build a career where their effort translates into results.

You might be a great fit if you are:

• A recent (or soon‑to‑be) graduate or early‑career professional ready to put your experiences and people skills to work.
• A relationship‑builder who enjoys meeting new people and helping others find solutions.
• Goal‑oriented and motivated by making progress and achieving results.
• Organized and dependable with strong follow‑through.
• Curious about technology and interested in how AI can help you work smarter.

Experience in student organizations, campus leadership, part‑time jobs, hospitality, customer service, retail, athletics, volunteering, fundraising, internships, or other team‑based environments can all help build relevant skills. These are examples, not requirements.

A bachelor's degree is preferred but not required. Previous recruiting, staffing, or sales experience is a plus, never a requirement.

Don't check every box? Apply anyway. Great recruiters come from all kinds of backgrounds, and no one is expected to match every point above. What matters most is your potential, not a perfect résumé.

Connected is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected status.
