Senior Recruiter

Senior Recruiter

PACS Group, Inc. is a holding company investing in post-acute healthcare facilities, professionals, and ancillary services. Founded in 2013, PACS Group is one of the largest post-acute platforms in the United States. Its independent subsidiaries operate 325 post-acute care facilities with 47,000 employees across 17 states serving over 31,000 patients daily. PACS business support division, PACS Services, provides technology and administrative support services — accounting, finance, human resources, compliance, payroll, AR/AP, legal, risk management, information technology, corporate communication, and other business advice and support — to their healthcare facilities, reducing administrative burdens so their leadership and care teams can focus on the care, well-being, and quality of life of their patients and residents. PACS is one of Utah's Best Companies to work for. It has also been recognized as one of Utah's Fastest Growing Companies for multiple years.

The Senior Recruiter is a highly experienced, hands-on talent acquisition partner responsible for leading full-cycle recruitment for a diverse portfolio of corporate positions across PACS Services. This role partners directly with hiring managers and senior leaders to translate business needs into effective recruiting strategies, build strong talent pipelines, assess and close high-quality candidates, and deliver a consistent, responsive hiring experience.

As an early member of the developing Talent Acquisition function, the Senior Recruiter also helps establish the practices, tools, data discipline, and service standards that will support PACS Services as it grows. The role is expected to operate independently, bring sound judgment to complex and hard-to-fill searches, and contribute practical ideas that improve recruiting outcomes without losing focus on day-to-day delivery.
