Associate Recruiter - Healthcare (Internal)

Join the Equiliem Team and Unleash Your Potential!

At Equiliem, we are more than a national recruiting firm-we are an award-winning organization continuing to grow our healthcare staffing practice.

We are looking for an experienced Agency Healthcare Recruiter who understands the pace, urgency, competitiveness, and relationship-building that come with recruiting healthcare professionals in a staffing agency environment.

This is an agency staffing position. Previous healthcare recruiting experience within a staffing agency or healthcare staffing firm is required. Candidates whose recruiting experience is exclusively corporate/internal Talent Acquisition will not be a fit for this role.

Experience recruiting Allied Health professionals is highly preferred.

As a Healthcare Recruiter with Equiliem, you will own your recruiting desk and manage the full candidate lifecycle-from sourcing and outbound outreach through screening, submission, interview coordination, offer acceptance, and placement.

We are looking for someone who already understands healthcare staffing and can step into a production-driven recruiting environment. You should be comfortable proactively sourcing candidates, managing multiple requisitions, working toward recruiting metrics, partnering closely with Account Managers, and creating urgency around client needs.

The ideal candidate has at least 2 years of healthcare recruiting experience within a staffing agency and has recruited healthcare professionals for hospitals, health systems, clinical facilities, or other healthcare clients.

Experience recruiting Allied Health professionals-including therapy, imaging/radiology, respiratory, laboratory, and other clinical specialties-is strongly preferred.
