Full-time | Onsite Elderwood at Lockport | Lockport, NY Recruitment & Onboarding Coordinator Salary Pay: $26.00 - $33.80 / hour At Elderwood at Lockport, hiring is directly connected to resident care. We are seeking an organized, responsive Recruitment & Onboarding Coordinator who understands that filling open positions promptly helps our teams provide residents with the care and support they deserve. This is not a remote recruiting position or a traditional corporate talent acquisition role. You will work onsite, five days a week, as part of the daily life of a long-term care facility. You will meet candidates, coordinate interviews, welcome new employees, manage onboarding requirements, and work closely with facility leadership to keep hiring moving. You will have ownership - but you will not be working alone. The Recruitment Coordinator is supported by a dedicated Talent Acquisition Strategist and partners closely with facility leadership and the Human Resources team. While you are responsible for managing candidates and maintaining momentum at the facility level, you will have a collaborative recruiting partner available for strategy, support, and problem-solving. A long-term care facility is an active healthcare environment. Priorities can change quickly, overhead announcements and emergency codes are part of facility operations, and employees support residents and families through meaningful - and sometimes difficult - moments. The right person will be comfortable and composed in this setting. You do not need to be a healthcare recruiter, but you should understand that your work carries a real sense of urgency. Open positions affect employees, residents, families, and the facility’s ability to provide consistent care.

You will also partner with a Talent Acquisition Strategist who can provide: Recruitment strategy and guidance Support with sourcing approaches and hard-to-fill positions Collaboration on recruitment marketing and hiring events Assistance identifying barriers within the candidate pipeline A consistent resource for questions, problem-solving, and shared priorities The goal is clear ownership with strong partnership: you will drive the onsite candidate experience and onboarding process, with support behind you. What Success Looks Like Success in this position is not measured only by the number of applications received. It means candidates receive timely communication, hiring managers know where their candidates stand, new employees arrive prepared, required documentation is complete, and open positions continue moving toward a successful hire. You will be trusted to take ownership of candidate management and onboarding, but you will be part of a team that shares the same goal: bringing the right people into Elderwood at Lockport so our residents receive the care they deserve.
