Talent Acquisition Specialist
About The Position
The Talent Acquisition Specialist supports Mindful Care’s growth by managing full-cycle recruiting for assigned roles and building connections with candidates, schools, and local communities. Working under the guidance of the Talent Acquisition Manager, the specialist partners with hiring managers and the People team to provide a thoughtful, efficient, and high-quality candidate experience. The role is suited to an early-career professional with healthcare recruiting experience who wants to develop skills in recruiting, school outreach, and employer branding. The position is based in the New York metropolitan area and is hybrid, primarily remote. Candidates within commuting distance of both the Midtown Manhattan and West Hempstead offices are preferred.

This role offers development through guidance from the Talent Acquisition Manager, hands-on healthcare hiring experience, and collaboration with the People, Marketing, and community liaison teams. The position is full-time, salaried, and exempt, with an annual salary of $60,000 to $70,000.
