Your Role: Building Our Team, Supporting Our Mission

Title: Talent Acquisition Specialist

As a Talent Acquisition Specialist at AnthroMed, your role will focus on expanding our team of speech-language pathologists, social workers, and occupational therapists. You will play a key role in connecting compassionate professionals with the schools and students who need them most. Here’s what that looks like:

1. Attracting Compassionate Talent: Use a variety of tools—such as job boards, LinkedIn, referrals, and outreach emails—to attract applicants who share our commitment to making a difference.
2. Connecting with Candidates: You’ll be the first point of contact for potential candidates in speech-language pathology, social work, and occupational therapy, introducing them to opportunities within our school partners.
3. Facilitating the Hiring Process: From initial outreach to job offers, you’ll help guide candidates through the interview and selection process, ensuring we match the right professional with the right school and caseload.
4. Building Relationships: You’ll work closely with your leadership team to build meaningful partnerships with schools and ensure that our clinicians are fully supported every step of the way.
5. Supporting a Smooth Onboarding Experience: Help ensure new hires have everything they need to get started, from securing documentation to liaising with state agencies for licensure and background checks.
6. Contributing to the Bigger Picture: Assist with team projects and help streamline processes to continually improve our approach to team-building and therapy delivery.

Alternatively, we are also willing to interview with trained Clinicians and/or former Special Educators who are interested in expanding the scope of their responsibilities in a professional services environment.
2. Are entrepreneurial, resourceful, and enjoy finding creative ways to engage with new candidates.
3. Have a genuine passion for special education or therapy services for children and are excited about supporting others who share that passion.
4. Demonstrate high standards of integrity and professionalism, and willing to be held accountable to your tasks and goals necessary for long term success.
5. Possess emotional intelligence, optimism, and a sense of humor—qualities that help you connect with candidates and our team.
6. Have a Bachelor’s degree (preferred) and ideally 1-2 years of experience in recruiting or staffing.
7. Are flexible with your time and can manage peak workloads during busy times, knowing that there will be room for more flexibility during other times.

Above all, we’re looking for someone who is results-oriented and excited to contribute to a mission-driven culture that values excellence, growth, and support.
