SENIOR RECRUITER – IT & PROFESSIONAL STAFFING

WalkerHealthcare • Burlington, MA

1d • $60,000 - $80,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Walker Healthforce is seeking an experienced, results-driven Senior Recruiter for a full-cycle agency recruiting role focused on IT and professional staffing. The recruiter will identify hard-to-find talent, build candidate relationships, and convert recruiting opportunities into successful placements. This is a performance-driven position—not a traditional corporate HR role—requiring strong sourcing, urgency, sound judgment, persuasive communication, disciplined execution, and closing skills.

The role is based in Burlington, Massachusetts, and is hybrid. Recruiters work across healthcare technology, business operations, analytics, and professional services, rather than traditional clinical or travel nurse staffing. Success is measured by candidate quality, recruiting effectiveness, and successful placements, with opportunities to advance into recruiting leadership or strategic delivery roles.

Requirements

• Three or more years of successful full-cycle agency or professional staffing recruiting experience, preferably in IT, technology, consulting, business operations, or other specialized professional disciplines.
• Demonstrated success consistently meeting or exceeding recruiting and placement goals.
• Strong direct sourcing capabilities, including identifying and engaging qualified candidates beyond traditional job-board applicants.
• Ability to qualify candidates, build trust, influence decisions, manage objections, and close offers.
• Experience managing multiple requisitions in a fast-paced, deadline-driven staffing environment.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and disciplined candidate follow-up.
• Ability to learn unfamiliar technologies, industries, and job requirements quickly and translate them into effective recruiting strategies.
• Experience using Bullhorn or a comparable ATS/CRM, along with modern sourcing and recruiting technologies.
• Comfort using AI-enabled tools to improve productivity while independently validating candidate qualifications and fit.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, relationship-building, and negotiation skills.

Nice To Haves

• Experience recruiting healthcare IT, EHR, payer operations, analytics, or healthcare business operations professionals.
• Bachelor’s degree; equivalent relevant experience will be considered.

Responsibilities

• Own assigned requisitions from intake and sourcing strategy through candidate placement and successful start.
• Develop sourcing strategies to identify and engage qualified candidates, including passive talent.
• Use Bullhorn, AI-enabled sourcing tools, LinkedIn, job boards, referrals, professional networks, and direct outreach to build candidate pipelines.
• Translate client requirements into targeted searches, effective screening questions, and compelling candidate messaging.
• Evaluate candidates’ qualifications, accomplishments, motivation, compensation expectations, availability, and potential risks.
• Conduct consultative interviews and prepare accurate, persuasive candidate submissions aligned with client requirements.
• Prepare candidates for interviews, manage competing opportunities, anticipate counteroffers, negotiate, and close placements.
• Manage multiple requisitions and competing priorities while meeting submission deadlines.
• Maintain accurate Bullhorn records, candidate relationships, and consistent follow-through throughout the recruiting process.
• Use recruiting metrics and conversion data to improve sourcing effectiveness, candidate quality, and placement results.
• Share market intelligence, collaborate with delivery teams, and support less-experienced recruiters.

Benefits

• Competitive base compensation with performance-based, uncapped earning opportunity.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Paid time off and retirement benefits.
• Disability coverage.
• Professional development opportunities.
• Established healthcare client relationships and opportunities to advance into recruiting leadership or strategic delivery roles.
