A Typical Day

A typical day may begin by logging into the ATS and sourcing tools — reviewing the day's open requisitions, checking new applications, and identifying any priority candidate or interview items from the talent team.

You'll review open requisitions — scanning requisition status, pending candidate outreach, and interview schedules and identifying what recruiting work needs to be done.

You'll source candidates — sourcing candidates across LinkedIn, job boards, referrals, and databases, and sending outreach to passive candidates.

You'll screen candidates — screening resumes against role requirements and conducting initial phone screens with candidates.

You'll coordinate interviews — coordinating interviews with candidates and hiring managers, scheduling across calendars and time zones, and preparing both candidates and hiring managers for interviews.

You'll track pipeline — maintaining candidate pipeline in the ATS, updating ATS records, and providing pipeline status to hiring managers.

You'll report and track — supporting recruiting reports and dashboards, tracking pipeline metrics, and documenting each recruiting action accurately in the recruiting systems.

You'll escalate when needed — routing hiring concerns, credential concerns, and unusual candidate situations to hiring managers, HR leadership, or credentialing teams per protocol.

Between tasks, you'll coordinate with hiring managers, HR, credentialing, and clinical teams on recruiting needs, and support talent team continuous improvement efforts.

Throughout the day, you'll work across ATS, sourcing tools, and HR systems, document your recruiting activity accurately, support recruiting quality goals, and maintain HIPAA awareness across all recruiting work.

The role combines candidate sourcing, resume screening, phone screening, interview coordination, pipeline tracking, hiring manager support, and recruiting outcomes.

Unlike talent acquisition manager or HR leadership roles that own hiring strategy and decisions, this Healthcare Recruiter role is a recruiting position — you support the talent team and hiring managers while building experience you can use to grow into senior recruiter, talent acquisition lead, recruiting manager, or HR leadership roles.
