You will own both sides of the staffing process: developing relationships with schools that need therapy and related-services professionals, while simultaneously recruiting the clinicians needed to fill those opportunities.

- Recruit qualified professionals including Speech-Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists and other school-based clinicians.

- Build and maintain active pipelines of both school opportunities and qualified clinicians.
- Develop relationships with Special Education, Student Services, HR and other school decision-makers.
- Present available clinicians and staffing solutions to prospective school clients.
- Negotiate staffing opportunities in coordination with company leadership.
- Expand successful school relationships into additional disciplines, locations and services.
- Maintain accurate pipeline activity and forecasts within the company's CRM/ATS.Work closely with operations and clinical leadership to ensure successful clinician onboarding and service delivery.
- Who We're Looking ForWe are particularly interested in candidates with experience in:
- Education staffing
- School-based therapy staffing
- Allied health staffing
- Healthcare staffing
- Full-desk recruiting
- Staffing sales and account development
- Ideal candidates will have 3+ years of staffing, recruiting or staffing-sales experience and a demonstrated ability to develop business and recruit talent.
- Direct experience recruiting or placing SLPs, OTs, PTs, school psychologists, behavioral-health professionals or related clinicians is highly desirable.
- What Makes Someone Successful in This RoleYou are likely to thrive here if you:
- Think like a salesperson as well as a recruiter.
- Are comfortable making outbound calls and creating opportunities rather than waiting for inbound leads.
- Move quickly when a school has an urgent staffing need.
- Know how to maintain relationships with candidates even when they are not immediately available.
- Can balance dozens of simultaneous opportunities without losing follow-through.
- Understand that a successful placement requires both a client and a clinician—and work both sides of the desk every day.
- Are motivated by measurable results and uncapped earning potential.
- Enjoy building something rather than simply inheriting an established territory.
