About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Recruit, onboard, and manage 1099 contracted recruiters and W-2 clinical recruiters on a rolling basis to supplement team capacity during surge periods; own the contracting workflow, performance expectations, and offboarding for contract staff
Set and hold weekly, sprint-based, and quarterly performance expectations for all team members — W-2 and 1099 alike — including sourcing output, outreach campaigns, pipeline conversion, and time-to-fill
Conduct regular 1:1s and team meetings focused on pipeline health, obstacle removal, and individual coaching
Build and sustain a team culture grounded in accountability, urgency, and genuine care for candidates and clients alike
Oversee end-to-end recruiting operations across 7+ states with additional markets in the pipeline
Partner with regional leads and clinical directors to translate workforce needs into proactive, market-specific hiring plans
Collaborate with clinical leadership to understand discipline-specific role requirements, caseload expectations, and clinician success profiles by market
Design and maintain a structured interview facilitation process across all roles and markets — including standardized scorecards, interviewer guides, and hiring decision frameworks
Maintain and continuously improve job descriptions, postings, and outreach templates across all roles and markets
Design candidate-facing communication frameworks that move leads through the funnel efficiently without sacrificing the personal, relationship-driven approach that differentiates Thrive
Build a library of objection-handling scripts, role-specific value propositions, and market-specific talking points for recruiter use
Lead candidate closing strategy and personally close high-priority or high-hesitancy candidates
Develop onboarding-to-close communication sequences that keep accepted candidates warm from offer through start date, reducing pre-start drop-off
Travel on-site to high-stakes regions during critical hiring windows to lead boots-on-the-ground sourcing, attend career fairs, and build relationships with university training programs
Build a referral and pipeline network across professional associations (ASHA, AOTA, APTA, NASP, CEC) and school-based therapy programs
Own all recruiting KPIs and reporting infrastructure — including time-to-fill, offer acceptance rate, pipeline velocity, source-of-hire, candidate drop-off rates, and recruiter-level performance scorecards
Build and maintain dashboards that give the Executive Leadership Team and recruiting team real-time visibility into pipeline health
Leverage AI-driven sourcing tools, ATS workflows (Fountain), and recruiting automation to increase throughput without sacrificing candidate quality or experience
Use data to diagnose bottlenecks in real time and adjust strategy accordingly — not at the end of the quarter
Conduct ongoing analysis of job board spend (Indeed and others) to optimize ROI and redirect investment to highest-converting sources by market and discipline
