• Ensure compliance with client-specific onboarding requirements including background checks, testing, and credentialing.

Lead Generation & Market Intelligence

• Identify potential business development leads through reference checks, candidate conversations, and market activity.
• Share qualified leads with the Sales Director for follow-up and pipeline development.
• Stay informed on market trends and consultant availability to support proactive talent pipelining.
