Talent Acquisition Manager

Job Type

Full-time

Description

Mountain Land Physical Therapy is looking for a hands-on Talent Acquisition Manager to lead our recruiting function and personally support high-priority searches as we continue building one of the strongest hiring engines in the physical therapy industry. This isn’t a strategy-only leadership role. We’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys the craft of recruiting, including sourcing candidates, improving outreach, building relationships, coaching a small team, making sense of messy data, solving tough searches, and helping candidates choose Mountain Land.

This role is a great fit for someone who wants to grow into a Director of Talent Acquisition over time but still loves being in the work and driving results day to day.

What You’ll Do

• Improve candidate acceptance rates by understanding motivations, addressing objections, and clearly communicating Mountain Land’s value proposition
• Lead full-cycle recruiting efforts while personally supporting high-priority searches, especially for revenue-generating and hard-to-fill clinical roles
• Source, engage, and close candidates in competitive healthcare and clinical markets
• Partner with hiring managers and HR leadership to align recruiting strategy with business and growth goals
• Track candidate dropout data and declined offers, turning insights into actionable improvements in the hiring process
• Lead and coach the talent acquisition team by establishing clear priorities, ownership, expectations, and accountability
• Manage recruiting operations and reporting using ATS, HRIS, and spreadsheet data to identify root causes and drive data-informed decisions
• Improve recruiting processes to increase consistency, data accuracy, compliance, and overall candidate experience
• Build and maintain talent pipelines (internal and external) to support current and future hiring needs
• Develop and strengthen partnerships with schools, workforce organizations, clinical programs, and other key talent channels
  
  

In This Role, Success Means

• You maintain low vacancy rates and improve time-to-fill, especially during talent acquisition leadership transition
• You improve candidate conversion rates across key roles, including clinical and hard-to-fill positions
• You use recruiting data to identify trends and root causes, translating insights into practical, data-driven hiring initiatives
• You strengthen and develop the talent acquisition team through hands-on leadership, coaching, and accountability
• You build trust with hiring managers by listening, advising, and demonstrating strong subject-matter expertise in recruiting
• You partner cross-functionally to enhance employer branding, improve the recruiting tech stack, and scale hiring processes
