Job description

Role: Regional Recruiter / Talent Acquisition

Compensation: $70,000 – $95,000 annual equivalent (DOE)

About the Role

A growing, multi-site residential hospitality and wellness organization with more than 2,500 team members is seeking a Regional Recruiter to join the team.

In this role, you will lead full-cycle talent acquisition for mid-to-senior level site leadership and key corporate positions. While local on-site managers handle high-volume entry-level roles, you will own critical operational, clinical/wellness, and department-head searches. You will also serve as a systems and process advisor, coaching site leaders on hiring best practices, compensation alignment, and applicant tracking workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Full-Lifecycle Mid & Senior Recruiting: Manage sourcing, screening, competency-based interviews, offer negotiations, and pre-employment background screening for specialized community-level managers and corporate openings.
• Specialized Operational & Leadership Pipelines: Proactively recruit leadership talent across multiple operational disciplines, including:
• Health & Wellness / Clinical Leadership
• Facility Maintenance Operations
• Food & Beverage / Hospitality Leadership
• Business Office & Administrative Management
• Specialized Resident Care Operations
• Hiring Manager Partnership: Collaborate with multi-site department heads and regional leadership to define role profiles, advise on competitive market compensation, and implement effective candidate marketing strategies.
• ATS & Workflow Optimization: Maintain data integrity within the applicant tracking system (SmartRecruiters), train hiring managers on posting workflows, and reinforce hiring compliance.
• Passive Candidate Sourcing: Build targeted candidate pipelines using LinkedIn Recruiter, industry networking, referral campaigns, and specialized job boards.
• Reporting: Track and communicate regional requisition metrics, weekly pipeline health, and time-to-fill updates to executive leadership.

Candidate Qualifications

• Experience: 2–3+ years of full-lifecycle recruiting experience in a corporate or fast-paced agency setting.
• Industry Background: Prior experience hiring across multi-unit operations—such as healthcare, residential care, hospitality, property management, or specialized service environments is strongly preferred.
• ATS Experience: Proficiency using modern applicant tracking systems (SmartRecruiters experience is a plus).
• Consultative Skills: Strong communication skills with a track record of coaching field managers and advising on compensation structures.
• Execution: Demonstrated ability to manage 15–25 concurrent professional/exempt searches independently across multiple locations.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business, or related discipline, or commensurate professional experience.
• Flexibility: Flexible hybrid schedule, with significant ability to work from home.
