• Partnering with hiring leaders and recruiters to understand workforce needs, provide market insights, advise on talent availability, and recommend sourcing and recruiting strategies to attract qualified physician and clinical provider talent.
• Evaluating candidate qualifications, experience, motivations, and alignment with role requirements to determine suitability and present qualified prospects to the Provider Recruitment team for consideration.
• Maintaining consistent communication and building strong relationships with candidates and stakeholders to deliver a positive candidate experience and support successful recruitment outcomes.
• Creation of local, regional and national sourcing and recruiting plans, employing traditional sourcing strategies and resources and developing new, creative talent research and pipelining approaches
• Partnering with the Provider Recruitment team and business leaders to understand technical and functional requirements, key competencies, and alignment with our core values to determine effective ways to build talent pipelines for critical teams and roles               
• Establishing talent pipelines through referral generation, leveraging external professional networks and alternative search techniques to target, attract, and develop talent prospects

• Performing structured interviews to accurately assess skills, competencies, and promote our opportunities
• Building talent communities and outreach campaigns to actively engage talent over time
• Reporting on progress, establishing metrics and recommending changes in approach supported by the data.

This role might be for you if:

• You bring experience in talent acquisition, full-cycle recruiting, candidate sourcing, or talent research, and enjoy combining proactive talent identification with candidate assessment and relationship building.
• You are comfortable managing multiple stages of the recruitment process, from identifying and engaging prospective candidates to screening qualifications and partnering with hiring teams on next steps.

• You are adaptable and enjoy working across both strategic sourcing initiatives and hands-on recruiting activities to address immediate hiring needs and build long-term talent pipelines.
• You are passionate about the “hunt” for top talent and always find yourself gravitating toward the research, sourcing and pipelining aspects of talent acquisition.
• You are fully comfortable with direct networking and talent engagement via phone as well as through online platforms.
• You enjoy balancing immediate recruiting priorities with long-term talent pipeline development, building talent communities that address both current and future physician and clinical provider hiring needs.
• You can operate effectively on an evolving model, as we are redefining our approach to talent sourcing.
• You are at ease with an abundance of detail and complexity, yet mindful of the big picture and able to align your efforts within the framework of a broader talent acquisition strategy.
• You can handle multiple projects and initiatives, prioritize them and execute them independently, while excelling at keeping all stakeholders informed and engaged.

To be considered for this opportunity, you must have current, proven and progressive Talent Pipelining/Talent Sourcing/Talent Research/ Talent Acquisition experience.  Preferably with a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree and five or more years of relevant professional experience.
