Field Recruiter

Elite Home Health Care • City of Yonkers, NY

11d • $60,000 - $70,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

The Field Recruiter is an activity-driven role responsible for building Elite’s pipeline of qualified, certified Home Health Aides (HHAs) and Personal Care Aides (PCAs) in the Westchester, NY market. Unlike a traditional, passive recruiting role that relies on job-board sourcing, the Field Recruiter operates on the same activity-tracking model used by Elite’s marketing team: each week, the recruiter plans, completes, and logs a set volume of field activities on a calendar, including community outreach, employer and community partnerships, and HHA/PCA training-school relationships. Those field activities generate a referral pipeline that the Field Recruiter screens, qualifies, and converts into new hires. While the core output of the role is field-sourced referrals rather than orientation delivery, the Field Recruiter maintains a working knowledge of Elite’s onboarding process and is able to step in and facilitate new-hire orientation when needed.

Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent required; associate or bachelor’s degree preferred.
• 1–3 years of recruiting, sales, business development, or community outreach experience; home care or healthcare staffing experience strongly preferred.
