Celebrate the Children School is pleased to announce an immediate opening for an experienced Short-Term Recruiter to manage recruitment across the organization.
Celebrate the Children is a well-established, New Jersey state-approved private special education school serving students with autism and other developmental and learning differences.
Our school utilizes a developmental, individualized, and relationship-based approach to education. Our philosophy emphasizes understanding each student’s individual differences, strengths, relationships, communication, and overall development. Finding employees who understand, embrace, and connect with our approach is an important part of this role.
We’re looking for a recruiter who knows how to find great people—not just wait for them to apply.
Responsibilities for Short-Term Recruiter Include
- Manage full-cycle recruitment for certificated and non-certificated positions.
- Proactively source candidates and build strong applicant pipelines for current and future staffing needs.
- Screen resumes, interview candidates, conduct reference checks, and coordinate the hiring process with HR and school leadership.
- Recruit through job boards, social media, colleges and universities, professional organizations, referrals, and other creative sources.
- Network off-site by attending job fairs, recruiting events, college programs, community events, and other opportunities to build relationships and expand candidate networks.
- Evaluate candidates for both qualifications and alignment with the school’s approach, philosophy, and culture.
- Maintain accurate candidate information and recruiting activity within the HRIS/ATS.
Requirements for Short-Term Recruiter Include
- Previous recruiting experience required; education or special education recruiting experience strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated ability to actively source candidates and build applicant pipelines.
- Strong interviewing, networking, communication, and relationship-building skills.
- Strong technology skills, including experience with HRIS/ATS platforms, online recruiting tools, social media, and other technology used to identify and engage candidates.

- Creative, resourceful, and willing to think outside the box when traditional recruiting methods aren’t producing results.
- Flexible and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
- Ability to understand and authentically communicate the school’s mission, approach, and philosophy to prospective candidates.
We need someone who can hit the ground running, take ownership, get out and network, build relationships, and find the right people for our school—not simply fill open positions.
