Job description

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF; the Foundation), located in Princeton, N.J., is the largest philanthropy in America dedicated solely to health. Since 1972, we have focused on developing and promoting innovations in health and healthcare to improve the lives of millions. In partnership with others, we are working toward a nation that is rooted in equity, compassion, and respect. A nation that provides everyone in America a fair and just opportunity to thrive, no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they have. This requires addressing many harmful obstacles to wellbeing, including poverty, powerlessness, and discrimination.

We take seriously our responsibilities, and we pledge to work in ways that reflect our Guiding Principles. These are rooted in equity and influence everything we do at RWJF. Equity, diversity, inclusion, and collaboration allow our staff’s wide range of experiences, passions, and perspectives to enrich our work and strengthen our ability to address our nation’s most pressing health issues. The Foundation offers a collaborative, collegial, and creative work environment. With a career at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, you will make a difference.

ABOUT THE POSITION

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation seeks a recruiter who will be responsible for the full life cycle hiring process for all Foundation roles. The recruiter will work closely with hiring teams to achieve Foundation goals and identify and select highly qualified people who are driven, individually and collaboratively, and will both support our mission and demonstrate our values related to equity.

While the recruiter can be primarily based at one of the Foundation’s three offices (our headquarters in Princeton, N.J., New York City, or Washington, D.C.), this is not a remote position. The recruiter will be required to visit the Princeton office as defined by the Foundation’s return-to-work policies still to be determined.

Successful candidates will have a degree or equivalent experience in Human Resources or Business Management and minimum of four years in recruitment or equivalent HR work experience required (experience working in nonprofit field preferred).
