The role requires deep clinical recruitment experience within FQHCs or health systems,

Qualifications

• Minimum of 7 years of progressive recruiting experience, with substantial responsibility for clinical, provider, or health care recruitment; 10 years of directly relevant experience strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated success recruiting physicians, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, nurse managers, medical assistants, and other high-demand clinical professionals.
• Prior health care staffing agency or search-firm experience required, with evidence of proactive sourcing, pipeline development, candidate relationship management, and successful placements.
• Experience recruiting within an FQHC, hospital, health system, multisite ambulatory network, behavioral health organization, or comparable regulated health care environment required.
• Established network of clinical and provider talent and the ability to activate credible pipelines quickly.

Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruitment for physicians, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, nurse managers, medical assistants, and other clinical and provider roles, from intake through accepted offer and pre-employment transition.
• Partner directly with the Chief Medical Officer, Medical Directors, nursing leadership, clinical operations, to clarify role requirements, workforce priorities, compensation parameters, approval status, and realistic time-to-fill expectations.
• Develop role-specific sourcing strategies using established networks, referrals, professional associations, residency and fellowship programs, schools of nursing and medicine, conferences, direct outreach, social platforms, job boards, community partnerships, and targeted talent-mapping techniques.
• Build, maintain, and continuously refresh warm pipelines for recurring and hard-to-fill clinical roles, with particular attention to shortage specialties and historically difficult geographies or schedules.
• Conduct structured screenings and interviews that assess clinical background, required licensure or certification, relevant setting experience, mission alignment, availability, compensation expectations, and other lawful job-related qualifications.
• Advise hiring leaders on market conditions, talent availability, competitive positioning, search progress, candidate risk, process design, and effective selection practices.
• Drive candidate engagement and closing strategies while delivering a responsive, respectful, and high-quality candidate experience from initial outreach through offer acceptance.
• Coordinate with Human Resources, credentialing, compliance, and clinical teams to support timely collection and handoff of licensure, certification, education, work history, references, and other pre-employment requirements without independently making credentialing determinations.
• Maintain complete, accurate, and timely records in the applicant tracking system, including candidate activity, interview feedback, disposition reasons, source data, offers, and required recruitment documentation.
• Manage multiple concurrent searches with clear prioritization, organized follow-up, disciplined calendar management, and proactive escalation of obstacles.
• Use recruitment data to monitor and report pipeline health, funnel conversion, aging requisitions, time to slate, time to fill, offer acceptance, source effectiveness, candidate experience, and other agreed performance indicators.
• Ensure recruitment practices comply with applicable equal employment opportunity, pay transparency, salary history, recordkeeping, and internal policy requirements.
• Represent Housing Works at career fairs, professional association events, clinical networking events, school partnerships, and community-based recruitment activities.
