The Opportunity

We're looking for a recruiter who believes great hiring is great matchmaking - and that the right people in the right roles can transform care for the communities we serve. In this role, you won't just fill seats. You'll build the talent pipelines that make better healthcare possible, and you'll be the reason strong clinicians choose Pacific Health Group over everywhere else they could go. This is not a desk-only role. Expect a true 50/50 split between field and desk work. If your ideal week is limited to LinkedIn searches and virtual outreach, this is not the right fit.

We are looking for someone who shows up - at workforce development centers, career fairs, community college campuses, job clubs, workforce partner events, union halls, community centers, and local organizations. Many of our strongest hires come from in-person connections, not job boards.

• Strong technical proficiency required, including experience with applicant tracking systems (ATS), candidate pipeline management, and assessment tools

• Proficiency with platforms such as Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, RingCentral, and Zoom
• Ability to quickly learn and adapt to new systems and troubleshoot basic technical issues
