About The Position

The Physician and Provider Recruiter is Gracelight's dedicated recruiter for licensed provider talent. The position owns full-cycle recruitment for physicians, advanced practice providers, and other licensed clinicians across all sites, and is responsible for building and maintaining a continuous provider pipeline rather than reacting to vacancies as they occur. This is a sourcing and closing role and success is measured by provider hires completed, speed to fill, and the quality and retention of those hires. The position works under the direction of the Chief Medical Officer and in close partnership with Human Resources, Risk and Compliance, and health center leadership. It requires a person with a sales mindset, strong follow-through, and the credibility to build relationships with licensed clinicians. The successful recruiter understands how hiring manager behavior and candidate experience affect outcomes and communicates or escalates issues promptly. This position is compensated with a base salary plus a performance incentive tied to completed provider hires. Incentive eligibility, calculation, and payment terms are governed by a separate written incentive plan agreement.
