Position Summary

Empower Community Care is seeking a Recruiter to lead full-cycle recruitment across our family of organizations and the customer agencies we support. This remote, enterprise-wide role covers the behavioral health, child welfare, and community care positions our customers hire for, plus corporate, consulting, technical, and operations roles within Empower and its subsidiaries.
Working closely with the Senior Recruiter, internal hiring managers, and customer agency leaders, the Recruiter will assess hiring needs, build talent pipelines, screen and advance qualified candidates, and deliver a candidate experience that reflects our mission. The ideal candidate is organized, consultative, and comfortable running many varied searches across states while staying compliant with hiring laws. The Senior Recruiter provides day-to-day recruiting direction, workload prioritization, and performance coaching, while the HR Manager supports employment compliance matters.

Key Responsibilities

• Full-Cycle Recruiting: Manage assigned searches from intake through hand-off to onboarding, including sourcing, screening, interview coordination, and offer and background check support, for customer agency and internal positions.
• Hiring Needs Assessment: Work with customer agency leaders and Empower hiring managers to clarify requirements, timelines, and sourcing strategy, and advise on market conditions and candidate supply with the HR Manager. Serve as a primary recruiting point of contact for assigned hiring managers and customer agencies, providing regular pipeline updates, identifying hiring challenges, and recommending adjustments to recruitment strategies.
• Sourcing & Pipeline Development: Build talent pipelines for recurring and hard-to-fill roles (clinical, program, supervisory, consulting, training, corporate, technical, and operations positions) through job boards, professional networks, social media, university and association partners, community organizations, and job fairs and networking events you manage and attend. Proactively identify and engage passive candidates through targeted outreach, referrals, LinkedIn Recruiter or similar tools, and creative sourcing strategies.
• Screening & Candidate Experience: Conduct structured phone and video screens using consistent, job-related criteria, assess qualifications, credentials, and fit, and present qualified candidates to hiring managers with clear recommendations. Communicate promptly and respectfully at every stage, including timely notice of outcomes, in keeping with our mission-driven culture.
• Postings & Requisitions: Publish accurate job postings with the Senior Recruiter, including required pay transparency and EEO language, and manage requisitions and candidate records in the applicant tracking system (ATS). Maintain accurate and timely documentation of candidate statuses, interview feedback, hiring decisions, and recruitment activities to support transparent processes and consistent reporting.
• Hiring Compliance: Apply federal, state, and local hiring laws across a multi-state workforce, including EEO, pay transparency, fair chance, background check (FCRA), and I-9 eligibility rules; elevate questions to the HR Manager.
• Metrics & Process Improvement: Report metrics such as time-to-fill, time-to-submit, pipeline health, interview activity, source effectiveness, offer acceptance, and hiring manager and customer satisfaction; provide regular updates on assigned searches, identify recruiting barriers, and use data to refine plans and improve processes, tools, templates, and employer brand consistency across Empower and its subsidiaries.

Required Qualifications

• Experience: Minimum of three (3) years of full-cycle recruiting experience, preferably in a high-volume or multi-role environment with responsibility for multiple concurrent requisitions.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in human resources, business, psychology, communications, or a related field, or equivalent education and experience.
• Sourcing, Screening & Technology: Demonstrated ability to source active and passive candidates and evaluate them using structured, job-related criteria, with working proficiency in an ATS, job boards, LinkedIn or similar tools, Microsoft 365, and video-conferencing platforms. Experience with JazzHR or a comparable ATS is a plus.
• Communication & Relationship Skills: Strong verbal and written communication, cultural competence, and discretion with confidential information, with the ability to work consultatively with hiring managers, customer agency leaders, and candidates from varied backgrounds.
• Organization & Prioritization: Strong attention to detail; ability to independently manage a dynamic portfolio of searches across roles, locations, and deadlines, adapt to changing priorities, meet agreed-upon recruiting timelines, and maintain consistent communication with candidates and hiring managers across time zones.
• Employment Law Knowledge: Working knowledge of EEO, pay transparency, background check, and fair hiring requirements, and the ability to apply multi-state rules with HR guidance.

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Behavioral Health & Human Services Recruiting: Experience recruiting licensed and master’s-level clinical professionals, including therapists, counselors, social workers, clinical supervisors, and community-based program staff in behavioral health, child welfare, or human services, as well as corporate, technical, and operations roles. Familiarity with clinical licensure requirements and evidence-based programs such as MST, FFT, and BSFT is highly desirable.
• Client-Facing Recruiting: Experience recruiting for external clients, such as in a staffing, agency, or recruitment process outsourcing environment.
• Multi-State Hiring: Experience hiring remote employees across multiple states and managing state-specific posting and pay transparency requirements.
• Data & Certification: Comfort building simple recruiting reports and dashboards in Excel or a similar tool; SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, SPHR, or a recognized talent acquisition certification.

Additional Requirements

• Background Check: Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a background check, consistent with applicable law and Empower’s standard hiring practices.
• Confidentiality: This role may involve exposure to confidential organizational, candidate, financial, and/or program information. The employee must maintain strict confidentiality and comply with Empower’s internal data governance and confidentiality policies.
• Work Environment: This is a remote, computer-based position requiring prolonged periods of sitting and extended use of a computer, keyboard, and video-conferencing tools, along with travel of up to approximately 10% of the time for job fairs, in-person meetings, or customer site visits.
