Job description

SENIOR RECRUITER – IT & PROFESSIONAL STAFFING

Turn healthcare talent into measurable client impact.

Burlington, MA | Full-time | Hybrid | Experienced

Walker Healthforce is a nationally recognized staffing and consulting firm specializing in healthcare technology, business operations, analytics, and professional services. We partner with leading healthcare organizations nationwide, connecting skilled professionals with meaningful career opportunities. Our specialized focus offers recruiters opportunities to leverage their expertise and expand into high-demand technology and professional staffing disciplines, rather than traditional clinical or travel nurse staffing.

We are seeking an experienced, results-driven Senior Recruiter who excels at identifying hard-to-find talent, building candidate relationships, and converting recruiting opportunities into successful placements.

This is not a traditional corporate HR position. It is a performance-driven, full-cycle agency recruiting role requiring strong sourcing skills, urgency, sound judgment, persuasive communication, disciplined execution, and the ability to close.

What You’ll Do

• Own assigned requisitions from intake and sourcing strategy through candidate placement and successful start.
• Develop effective sourcing strategies to identify and engage qualified candidates, including passive talent who may not be actively seeking new opportunities.
• Leverage Bullhorn, AI-enabled sourcing tools, LinkedIn, job boards, referrals, professional networks, and direct outreach to build strong candidate pipelines.
• Translate client requirements into targeted searches, effective screening questions, and compelling candidate messaging.
• Evaluate candidates for technical and professional qualifications, accomplishments, motivation, compensation expectations, availability, and potential risks.
• Conduct consultative interviews and prepare accurate, persuasive candidate submissions aligned with client requirements.
• Prepare candidates for interviews, manage competing opportunities, anticipate counteroffers, negotiate effectively, and close placements.
• Manage multiple requisitions and competing priorities while meeting aggressive submission deadlines.
• Maintain accurate Bullhorn records, strong candidate relationships, and consistent follow-through throughout the recruiting process.
• Use recruiting metrics and conversion data to improve sourcing effectiveness, candidate quality, and placement results.
• Share market intelligence, collaborate with delivery teams, and support the development of less-experienced recruiters.

What We’re Looking For

• Three or more years of successful full-cycle agency or professional staffing recruiting experience, preferably in IT, technology, consulting, business operations, or other specialized professional disciplines.
• Demonstrated success consistently meeting or exceeding recruiting and placement goals.
• Strong direct sourcing capabilities, including the ability to identify and engage qualified candidates beyond traditional job-board applicants.
• Proven ability to qualify candidates, build trust, influence decisions, manage objections, and close offers.
• Experience managing multiple requisitions in a fast-paced, deadline-driven staffing environment.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and disciplined candidate follow-up.
• Ability to learn unfamiliar technologies, industries, and job requirements quickly and translate them into effective recruiting strategies.
• Experience using Bullhorn or a comparable ATS/CRM, along with modern sourcing and recruiting technologies.
• Comfort using AI-enabled tools to improve productivity while independently validating candidate qualifications and fit.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, relationship-building, and negotiation skills.
• Experience recruiting healthcare IT, EHR, payer operations, analytics, or healthcare business operations professionals is a plus, but healthcare industry experience is not required.
• Bachelor's degree preferred; equivalent relevant experience will be considered.

What Success Looks Like

Success at Walker Healthforce is measured by candidate quality, recruiting effectiveness, and successful placements—not activity alone.
Our strongest recruiters consistently demonstrate:

• Sourcing effectiveness: Quickly identifying and engaging qualified candidates, including hard-to-find and passive talent.
• Candidate quality: Submitting well-qualified candidates who closely match client requirements.
• Conversion and closing: Achieving strong submission-to-interview, interview-to-offer, and offer-to-start conversion.
• Placement productivity: Consistently meeting or exceeding placement expectations.
• Ownership and urgency: Taking initiative, overcoming obstacles, and moving requisitions forward without constant direction.
• Execution and organization: Managing priorities, maintaining accurate records, and following through on commitments.
• Adaptability: Learning new recruiting markets, technologies, and tools quickly to improve results.

Compensation and Benefits

• Competitive base compensation with performance-based, uncapped earning opportunity.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Paid time off and retirement benefits.
• Disability coverage and professional development opportunities.
• Established healthcare client relationships and opportunities to advance into recruiting leadership or strategic delivery roles.
