This role is ideal for a highly motivated, hands‑on, strategic recruiter who thrives in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment and can partner closely with leadership to build a best‑in‑class recruiting function.

Key Responsibilities

• Own full‑cycle recruiting for roles across the organization, with a strong emphasis on clinical research site positions (CRC, CRA, regulatory, site leadership, and support roles).
• Develop and execute scalable recruiting strategies to support rapid national growth and site expansion.
• Proactively source candidates using a variety of channels, including LinkedIn, job boards, professional networks, referrals, and industry‑specific pipelines.
• Build and maintain a strong, diverse talent pipeline for recurring and high‑volume roles.
• Partner closely with site managers and executive leadership to understand workforce needs, role requirements, and hiring priorities.
• Advise leaders on market trends, compensation benchmarks, and hiring strategies specific to clinical research talent.
• Manage hiring timelines and expectations in a high‑growth, private equity–backed environment.
• Deliver an exceptional candidate experience from initial outreach through offer acceptance.
• Represent the company’s mission, culture, and growth opportunity to prospective candidates.
• Contribute to employer branding efforts to position the organization as an employer of choice in clinical research.
• Manage and optimize an applicant tracking system and recruiting workflows.
• Track and report on key recruiting metrics (time‑to‑fill, quality of hire, source effectiveness, etc.).
• Continuously improve recruiting processes to support scale, efficiency, and quality.
• Ensure recruiting practices comply with applicable employment laws and regulations.
• Maintain consistent, equitable, and inclusive hiring practices across all roles and locations.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of progressive experience in talent acquisition, with at least 2+ years in a lead or manager‑level recruiting role.
• Demonstrated experience recruiting for clinical research or healthcare roles, preferably within clinical trial sites, SMOs, CROs, or healthcare services organizations.
• Proven success hiring Clinical Research Coordinators, Clinical Research Assistants, or similar site‑based research roles across multiple geographies.
• Strong sourcing skills and comfort recruiting in competitive, talent‑constrained markets.
• Experience working in a fast‑paced, high‑growth organization (private equity–backed experience is a strong plus).

Preferred

• Familiarity with clinical research operations and regulatory environments (GCP, FDA‑regulated settings).
• Experience building or scaling recruiting functions.
• Experience recruiting remotely for geographically distributed teams.
• Strategic thinker with a hands‑on execution mindset.
• Excellent relationship‑building and communication skills.
• Highly organized with strong project and time‑management abilities.
• Data‑driven and comfortable using recruiting metrics to inform decisions.
