Why Arbor Associates Arbor Associates has spent more than 40 years building something most staffing agencies only claim to have: a genuine reputation for reliability, compliance, and long-term relationships in the behavioral health, IDD, education, and community health sectors across Massachusetts and beyond. We place Direct Support Professionals, Mental Health Technicians, Teachers, Paraprofessionals, Nurses, and allied health professionals — and we do it by investing in our recruiters and our field associates the same way we ask our clients to invest in their teams. This is a high-volume recruiting role with real earning potential on top of a competitive base. It's also a role where the work matters — the candidates you place are caregivers, educators, and clinicians serving some of the most vulnerable populations in the region. You'll feel the difference between filling a shift and building a career pathway for someone who needed the right opportunity to find their footing.

What You'll Do

• Source, screen, and place a high volume of qualified candidates for per diem, contract, and direct hire roles across healthcare, education, and human services
• Run full-cycle recruiting: outreach, screening calls, availability verification, offer conversations, and onboarding handoff
• Build and maintain a standing bench of reliable, validated field associates ready for redeployment — not just a list of one-time placements
• Use multiple sourcing channels: Indeed, LinkedIn, social media, job fairs, referrals, and direct outreach

• Collaborate with internal partners on job posting prioritization, candidate pipeline needs, and urgent fill requests

What You'll Earn

Base salary of $52,000–$60,000 annually, determined by experience, plus a performance-based commission structure estimated at 10–15% of base for recruiters hitting their targets. This is a role where consistent execution compounds — recruiters who build reliable pipelines and hit their metrics earn meaningfully more than base.
