What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who enjoys connecting people with opportunities and understands that successful recruitment is about more than simply filling vacancies. You should be confident approaching candidates, building talent networks, asking the right screening questions, and maintaining relationships throughout the recruitment process.

A background in healthcare or behavioural health recruitment would be a great advantage, particularly if you have recruited BCBAs or RBTs. However, a strong recruiter from another relevant industry who is proactive, resourceful, and quick to learn could also be a great fit.
