Your primary focus will be recruiting and hiring Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), while also supporting recruitment for other positions across the organization.

Why Work at LittleStar?

• As a nonprofit organization, our focus is always on doing what’s best for the individuals and families we serve, not on maximizing profits.

What You'll Do :

• You’ll manage the full recruitment process, from creating job postings and sourcing candidates to screening, interviewing, selecting, reviewing background checks, and extending offers.
• Get creative with sourcing. Think beyond traditional job boards. Develop innovative ways to reach qualified RBT candidates and other talent through community partnerships, career events, networking, social media, recruiting campaigns, and new candidate-generation resources.
• Work closely with Scheduling, Clinical, Human Resources, and leadership to understand staffing needs, anticipate future hiring demands, and develop recruitment strategies.
• Build relationships with candidates, conduct thoughtful interviews, communicate next steps, and help candidates feel informed, welcomed, and excited about joining LittleStar.
• Prepares the job posting and advertisement processes and maintains job posts in ADP, job boards and career sites as needed.
• Proactively monitor staffing needs, anticipate upcoming recruitment challenges, and develop solutions before positions become urgent.
• Maintain accurate applicant tracking systems, recruiting reports, spreadsheets, job postings, and other hiring-related resources.
• Assist with recruitment for non-RBT positions as requested by the HR Director or VP of HR.
• Build strong relationships beyond the hire by conducting regular check-ins with new team members, helping ensure a positive transition, addressing questions or concerns, and supporting a successful start at LittleStar.
• Monitor employee turnover and retention trends by maintaining accurate turnover data and tracking key staffing metrics. Connect with departing employees to gather information about their reasons for leaving and identify trends or opportunities for improvement, while maintaining appropriate confidentiality.
• Maintain confidentiality of client, family, and employee information in accordance with LittleStar policies and HIPAA privacy requirements.
• Promote an environment built on open communication, respect, collaboration, positivity, and teamwork.
