This role is remote, fast-paced, and results-driven.

Job Overview

The Senior Nursing & Allied Health Recruiter will source, recruit, and place RNs, LPN/LVNs, CNAs/MAs, and Allied clinicians (e.g., RT, PT/OT/SLP, Rad Techs, Sonographers, Lab, Pharmacy, Behavioral Health, etc.) across federal and commercial settings. This position emphasizes performance-based compensation, with a competitive base salary and significant contingency/bonus tied to placements and/or gross margin.

Key Responsibilities

• Full-cycle recruiting: Source, screen, qualify, submit, coordinate interviews, negotiate offers/pay packages, and close for nursing and allied roles (locum/travel, per-diem, contract-to-hire, and perm).
• Pipeline building: Maintain a high-velocity talent pipeline through job boards, databases/ATS, social platforms, networking groups, referrals, and targeted outreach.

• Credentialing readiness: Coordinate licenses, certifications (BLS/ACLS, compact/NLC, ARRT, ASCP, etc.), immunizations, background checks, I-9/E-Verify, and onboarding documentation in collaboration with credentialing.
• Compliance & quality: Ensure adherence to Joint Commission/CMS standards, federal program requirements (IHS/VA/DHA), and Prime Physicians policies throughout the process.
• Offer & rate strategy: Build competitive pay packages (including travel stipends/per diems where applicable), negotiate bill/pay rates, and protect margin/gross profit.
• Data hygiene: Maintain accurate candidate records, submittal notes, and activity metrics in the ATS; track KPIs (submittals, interviews, offers, starts, GM).
• Market intelligence: Monitor supply/demand, licensure timelines, and rate trends by specialty/geography; advise internal teams on fill strategy and prioritization.
• Candidate experience: Provide clear expectations (shift/facility details, compliance timelines, DocuSign flows), proactive communication, and post-start check-ins to support retention.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of agency-side recruiting focused on nursing and allied (locum/travel and perm). Staffing company experience is required.
• Demonstrated track record of high-volume placements and consistent margin contribution (please include recent annual placement numbers in your resume).
• Deep knowledge of licensure/compact (NLC), state boards, credentialing timelines, and specialty requirements for RNs/LPNs/CNAs and Allied modalities.
• Experience with federal clients (HHS, IHS, VA, DHA) preferred, including onboarding nuances and compliance standards.
• Proficiency with ATS/CRM (Ceipal preferred) and VMS portals (e.g., Fieldglass, Beeline, Medefis, ShiftWise, IQNavigator).
• Exceptional sourcing, negotiation, and closing skills; able to manage multiple reqs and candidates concurrently in a remote environment.
• Strong organization, urgency, and attention to detail; comfortable with performance/KPI targets.
