What Makes This Role Unique

Most recruiting roles hand you a process you are expected to follow. Here, you will help define it. Esperta Health is growing quickly, and our ability to reach more patients comes down to how well we find the clinicians who care for them, so the importance of this role cannot be overstated. You will not inherit someone else's playbook. We are open to how this gets done, and we want someone with the experience to decide: your strategy, your channels, your relationships, your results. If you have ever been the person who knew where the talent actually was and wanted the room to go get it, this is that opportunity, and you will see the impact directly, in patients healed at home.

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Senior Clinical Recruiter to find the registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and other clinicians who deliver care for Esperta Health. We hire clinicians with wound care experience, which makes this a specialized search rather than a general nursing one.

The emphasis here differs from most in-house recruiting roles, which are weighted toward screening and coordination. This one is sourcing-first: the majority of your time will be spent identifying and reaching clinicians who are not actively looking, market by market, through channels well beyond job boards and LinkedIn. Many of the nurses we need are not browsing postings, and a great number of them are not on LinkedIn at all.

You will set the sourcing strategy and execute it yourself, while also screening candidates, supporting interview coordination, and assisting with the onboarding handoff as our clinical teams grow.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

Sourcing and Candidate Generation

Build and execute a sourcing strategy that reaches wound care RNs, NPs, and other clinicians where they are, drawing on channels such as state nursing board license data, wound care certification bodies and specialty societies such as WOCN, nursing school and alumni networks, per diem and agency networks, clinician referral programs, and local professional and community networks
Conduct direct outreach to prospective clinicians, including cold outreach at volume, and manage consistent follow-up
Continuously test new sourcing channels, measure what each one produces, and discontinue those that do not perform
Represent Esperta Health to clinical audiences in person where warranted, including conferences, career events, and nursing school partnerships

Talent Pool Development

Build and maintain a standing pool of qualified clinicians in each market we operate in, so that new openings are filled from known candidates rather than started from scratch
Develop long-term relationships with strong clinicians who are not ready to make a move today
Maintain accurate, usable candidate records including licensure, specialty, geography, availability, and relationship history
Establish pipelines in advance of hiring needs in new and expanding markets

Partnership with Clinical Leadership

Partner with nursing and clinical leaders to understand staffing needs, position requirements, qualifications, and workforce priorities before a search begins
Consult with hiring leaders on realistic candidate profiles, job requirements, and interview practices
Identify barriers that slow hiring or reduce candidate quality, and recommend practical solutions
Support workforce planning with clinical talent-market insight and recruiting data as we enter and expand markets

Hiring Process Support

Screen both sourced and inbound candidates for wound care experience, clinical qualifications, and fit with in-home care, which draws a different clinician than hospital-based nursing, so that clinical leaders engage only with candidates worth their time
Coordinate interviews and facilitate timely feedback from hiring leaders
Support the offer, pre-employment, and onboarding handoff process
Maintain a positive candidate experience throughout

Performance and Reporting

Establish and meet targets for pipeline depth by market, time-to-fill, offer acceptance, and channel effectiveness
Report regularly on sourcing activity, channel performance, and pipeline health, and recommend improvements to sourcing, screening, and hiring processes
Advise leadership on clinical labor market conditions, compensation competitiveness, and realistic hiring timelines
Maintain accurate documentation within the applicant tracking system

Ideal Candidate Profile

A hunter who is energized by finding people no one else can find, not by working an inbound queue
A builder who has stood something up from nothing and wants to do it again
Self-directed and accountable, comfortable owning an outcome without daily direction or support staff
Genuinely curious about where clinicians gather, and willing to test channels no one has tried
Organized enough to keep a growing talent pool clean and usable months before it is needed
Credible and warm in conversation with clinicians, who can tell immediately whether you understand their work

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, Healthcare Administration, Nursing, or a related field, or equivalent experience
Substantial experience recruiting registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and other clinicians, including significant time spent actively sourcing passive candidates rather than working solely from inbound applicant flow
Experience building a clinical sourcing function from the ground up. Candidates should be prepared to describe a specific example: what existed at the start, what was built, and what it produced
Demonstrated use of sourcing channels beyond job boards and LinkedIn. Candidates should be prepared to name specific channels, explain why they were selected, and describe the results each produced
Evidence of building a talent pool that was reused for subsequent hires rather than rebuilt each time
Experience sourcing across multiple geographic markets simultaneously, including markets where no prior network existed
Strong working knowledge of clinical nursing roles, credentials, and healthcare workforce environments
Working knowledge of nursing licensure across states, including compact and non-compact states, and its effect on candidate availability and timelines
Ability to manage multiple open requisitions and competing priorities across markets in a fast-paced environment
Strong written communication, relationship-building, and negotiation skills. Most first contact with a clinician will be something you wrote
Experience with an applicant tracking system and modern sourcing tools
