[Hiring] Clinical Recruiter @Tailwind Care

Role Description

We’re looking for an experienced full-cycle clinical recruiter to own clinician hiring from initial sourcing through accepted offer.

• Recruit physicians, advanced practice clinicians, registered dietitians, behavioral health clinicians, and other clinical roles as Tailwind grows.
• This is a hands-on role: source candidates directly, review inbound applications, conduct initial interviews, manage candidates through the interview process, and drive the offer stage.
• Once a candidate accepts an offer, hand them off to our Clinical Operations team for contracting, credentialing, and clinical onboarding.

This is a good fit for someone who has recruited clinicians in a telehealth healthcare environment and is comfortable owning the recruiting process end-to-end.

What you’ll own

• Build and maintain candidate pipelines.
• Proactively source strong clinicians through LinkedIn, professional communities, referrals, targeted outreach, and other channels.
• Find another way when a search isn't working.
• Review and screen applicants.
• Conduct initial interviews.
• Manage the interview process.
• Own the candidate experience.
• Drive offers to acceptance.
• Maintain a clean recruiting system.
• Track recruiting performance.
• Build recruiting infrastructure as we grow.
• Partner closely with clinical and operations leaders.

What makes this role different

• You own the full cycle.
• You’ll help build the recruiting function.
• You’ll work directly with clinical and operations leaders.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as a full-cycle clinical recruiter, owning searches from sourcing through offer.
• Experience recruiting licensed healthcare clinicians such as physicians, NPs/PAs, registered dietitians, therapists, or similar clinical professionals.
• Recruiting experience at a healthcare organization with a meaningful telehealth or virtual-care component.
• Strong direct-sourcing skills and experience building pipelines for hard-to-fill clinical roles.
• Experience conducting initial candidate interviews and making informed recommendations about who should advance.
• Strong candidate-management skills, including keeping multiple searches and interview processes moving at once.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.
• Comfortable working independently in an early-stage environment where priorities and hiring needs can change quickly.
• Based anywhere in the United States.

Nice to have

• Experience recruiting for an early-stage healthcare startup.
• Experience recruiting remote or multi-state clinical teams.
• Experience recruiting 1099 clinicians.
• Familiarity with clinician licensure, credentialing, CAQH, or payer enrollment.
• Experience with Ashby.
• Existing networks within pediatrics, obesity medicine, nutrition, or behavioral health.

Schedule & commitment

• Approximately 20-25 hours per week, with flexibility in how those hours are structured.
• The role will begin as a 1099 contract position. As Tailwind grows, there is potential for the scope and hours to increase and for the position to transition into a full-time W-2 role.
