• Partner closely with hiring managers and leadership to understand staffing priorities and upcoming workforce needs.
• Help candidates understand the professional opportunities, lifestyle, and community impact that come with a career in rural healthcare.
• Support employer branding, community outreach, and other initiatives that strengthen the organization's presence in the talent market.
• Track recruiting activity and results to identify what’s working and where new approaches are needed.

What They’re Looking For

• Experience in recruiting, talent acquisition, workforce development, business development, sales, community relations, or a similar relationship-driven role.
• Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
• Proven ability to develop relationships and build professional partnerships.
• Strong communication and networking skills with the confidence to represent an organization externally.
• Strong organization and follow-through with the ability to manage multiple searches and initiatives simultaneously.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of results.
• Willingness to travel throughout the region.

Nice to Have
