Key Responsibilities:

1. Identify and engage qualified physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, and clinical pharmacists for unique, remote, part-time, non-clinical roles supporting AI development.

4. Verify credentials and conduct bar/license checks where applicable, ensuring a high standard of candidate quality and compliance.
5. Facilitate communication between candidates and the customer's project leads, supporting a seamless recruiting and onboarding process.
6. Document outreach, referral activity, and candidate feedback to provide transparency and support continual process improvement.
7. Share market insights and trends with the customer's team, helping shape role specifications and sourcing strategies for maximum impact.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

1. Proven experience in physician recruiting, lateral search, and contract staffing within the healthcare sector.
2. Demonstrated ability to source attorneys and conduct bar verification as needed.
3. Solid understanding of clinical practice areas and healthcare staffing requirements.
4. Strong candidate screening and interviewing skills, with a focus on confidentiality and discretion.
5. Expertise in Boolean sourcing, networking, and building lasting professional relationships.
6. Ability to work independently, manage multiple concurrent assignments, and uphold legal and ethical standards.

Preferred Qualifications:

1. Experience in physician, locum tenens, or clinical recruiting.
2. Established clinician network and experience sourcing subspecialists (e.g., pediatric oncologists, interventional radiologists, clinical informaticists).
3. Strong communication skills and ability to operate independently; may serve other clients in parallel.

This is an independent contractor engagement, not an employment position. There are no fixed working hours or guaranteed volume of assignments. Contractors are responsible for their own business expenses and applicable taxes.
