• Develop sourcing strategies and candidate pipelines for difficult-to-fill positions using LinkedIn Recruiter, talent communities, professional associations, referrals, targeted campaigns, and discipline-specific networks.

• Evaluate applicants' experience, credentials, transferable skills, communication skills, and interest in the role and academic medical center environment, including alignment with applicable licensure and certification requirements.

• Ability to translate clinical requirements, licensure needs, and department priorities into clear recruitment strategies and engaging job advertisements.

• Ability to assess clinical and transferable experience without relying solely on job titles or exact keyword matches.

• Strong passive-candidate sourcing and pipeline-development skills.
