Job description

About the Role
Are you a healthcare recruiter who knows how to find, engage, and close top provider talent? Thundermist Health Center is looking for a Senior Provider Recruiter to lead full-cycle recruiting across our clinical and non-clinical workforce — with a primary focus on physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and registered nurses. You’ll own the end-to-end candidate experience, partner closely with hiring managers and clinical leaders, and collaborate cross-functionally with HR, Finance, and Marketing to keep Thundermist staffed and growing. If you’re passionate about community health and know the healthcare labor market inside and out, this role is built for you.
What You’ll Do
Provider Recruiting

• Serve as the primary recruiter for physicians (MD/DO), nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and registered nurses
• Develop and execute sourcing strategies leveraging physician-specific job boards, professional associations, residency program outreach, direct outreach, and referral networks
• Screen and evaluate provider candidates on clinical fit, licensure and credentialing readiness, cultural alignment, and retention potential
• Partner with hiring managers, the Chief Medical Officer, and clinical leaders to define role requirements, compensation ranges, and interview processes
• Coordinate provider interview logistics including panel scheduling, site visits, and candidate travel
• Manage the offer process in partnership with HR, Finance, and hiring leaders, ensuring competitive and compliant compensation packages
• Facilitate the transition from offer acceptance to pre-onboarding, partnering with credentialing, licensure, and payer enrollment teams to minimize time-to-start

Full-Cycle Recruiting — All Roles

• Manage full-cycle recruiting for assigned requisitions across clinical, administrative, and support functions
• Post positions to Thundermist’s ATS and external job boards; maintain accurate, engaging, and compliant postings
• Source passive candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean searches, and ongoing network development
• Screen resumes, conduct phone screens, and present qualified shortlists to hiring managers
• Extend offers, negotiate compensation, and close candidates in partnership with HR and hiring managers

Pipeline, Partnerships & Strategy

• Maintain healthy candidate pipelines for hard-to-fill provider and specialty roles through proactive sourcing and relationship-building
• Track and monitor key recruiting metrics including time-to-fill, source of hire, offer acceptance rate, and requisition aging
• Build and sustain consultative relationships with hiring managers; conduct kickoff meetings and coach on interview best practices
• Partner with Marketing on employer branding, recruitment campaigns, career site content, and social media presence
• Generate and analyze recruiting reports; use data to identify trends, sourcing effectiveness, and process improvement opportunities
• Represent Thundermist at career fairs, residency program events, professional conferences, and community recruiting events

What We’re Looking For
You’re a strategic, relationship-driven recruiter who can source a cardiologist and close a medical assistant in the same week. You know the difference between a credentialing delay and a red flag, and you bring market intelligence to every hiring manager conversation. You’re organized, metrics-minded, and genuinely motivated by Thundermist’s mission to serve underserved communities.

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business, Healthcare Administration, or a related field — or equivalent experience
• 15+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with at least 8 years focused on healthcare or medical provider recruiting
• Demonstrated experience recruiting physicians (MD/DO), NPs, PAs, and RNs
• Working knowledge of provider credentialing, licensure timelines, DEA registration, and regulatory considerations that impact time-to-start
• Proficiency with ATS platforms and sourcing tools including LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, and physician-specific job boards (PracticeLink, DocCafe, NEJM CareerCenter, or similar)
• Working knowledge of EEO, OFCCP, and applicable federal, state, and local employment laws

Preferred

• Prior experience recruiting for FQHCs, community health centers, or safety-net providers
• Familiarity with NHSC, state loan repayment programs, and other provider recruitment incentive programs
• Experience with employer branding, recruitment marketing, and career site strategy
• Experience partnering on provider compensation modeling and offer negotiation

Compensation
$64,064 – $96,096 annually | Compensation is commensurate with experience and qualifications.
