What are the responsibilities and job description for the Healthcare Recruiter position at VHS Recruitment?
Healthcare Recruiter – Full Cycle Recruitment
Are you an experienced healthcare recruiter who thrives on ownership, accountability, and results?
Join a growing, mission-driven healthcare organization where your recruiting expertise directly impacts our ability to deliver high-quality care to underserved populations. We’re looking for a confident, driven recruiter who enjoys building relationships with healthcare providers, navigating challenging searches, and partnering with leadership to drive hiring decisions that support organizational growth.
This is not a role for someone who needs constant direction. We’re seeking a self-starter who can think strategically, make sound decisions, negotiate effectively, and adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment. The ideal candidate is comfortable navigating difficult conversations, standing behind decisions with professionalism, and balancing candidate expectations with business needs.
Key Responsibilities
- Full-Cycle Recruitment: Manage the recruitment process from strategy development and sourcing through screening, offer negotiation, and placement.
- Healthcare Talent Acquisition: Recruit qualified healthcare professionals across clinical roles, including advanced practice providers and physicians, as well as non-clinical positions as needed.
- Strategic Partnership: Collaborate with hiring managers and organizational leadership to understand staffing priorities, advise on recruitment strategies, and drive hiring outcomes.
- Sourcing & Relationship Building: Identify and engage qualified candidates through job boards, social media, networking, referrals, and proactive outreach.
- Candidate Engagement: Build strong relationships with candidates, provide timely communication, and deliver a professional recruitment experience.
- Decision-Making & Negotiation: Navigate compensation discussions, manage competing priorities, and confidently communicate decisions—even when faced with resistance.
- Recruitment Metrics & Compliance: Maintain accurate ATS records, monitor recruiting performance, and ensure compliance with applicable employment regulations.
Qualifications
- Minimum of 3 years of full-cycle healthcare recruiting experience required.
- Experience recruiting advanced practice providers (NPs and PAs) and/or physicians is strongly preferred.
- Proven ability to manage multiple searches, prioritize competing needs, and deliver results in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong negotiation, communication, relationship-building, and decision-making skills.
- Demonstrated ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and maintain accountability for recruiting outcomes.
- Comfortable advising hiring managers, navigating challenging conversations, and making decisions with confidence.
- Willingness to work outside traditional business hours when needed to accommodate candidate availability.
- Bachelor’s degree preferred, or equivalent relevant experience.
