Job Description:

Full-Time Temporary (90 to 120 days) Healthcare Recruiter With High Volume Experience Needed ASAP for Rapidly Growing In-home Provider Company
About Upward Health and the Healthcare Recruiter Role:
Upward Health is an in-home primary care practice that cares for high-need, high-risk patients in the home. We have an immediate need for a Healthcare Recruiter with significant high volume healthcare experience who is mission and culture driven and is passionate about the employee experience. The Healthcare Recruiter's job is to hire the right people for the company. This person will be the face of Upward Health for potential future employees, which means the right candidate will love the mission of the company, the values of the company, the people they work with, and have a genuine excitement about being a key part of building a company that changes the way healthcare is delivered to the most high-need, high-cost individuals. This position is full time contract, with the potential for W2 status when the contract period is ended.
Why is this role critical?
Upward Health is rapidly expanding our presence in the NY metropolitan area, needing to hire outstanding nurses, NPs, physicians and LCSWs for a July start. The Healthcare Recruiter will work with an outstanding HR team, at the immediate direction of the Director of Talent, in our brand-new headquarters in Hauppauge, NY. Questions to ask yourself before you decide to apply--- Are you up for the challenge of recruiting and hiring LPNs (Licensed Practical Nurse), RNs (Registered Nurse), FNPs (Family Nurse Practitioner) and other healthcare professionals in a market where budget is always a factor but candidates in those positions can name their own price? Are you excited about selling a company that is passionate about its employees and patients, and do you see new employee's experience and success as your responsibility? Are you an early adapter of technology who has a little bit of a nerd somewhere deep inside them, so managing deadlines and performance metrics drives and excites you? Are you always looking for ways to challenge yourself and grow personally and professionally? Do you practice Servant Leadership at work and in life? Do you even know what that means? --- If not, I suggest you go read about it because it is the management philosophy of our whole organization.
The person in this role will understand how to successfully recruit and retain front line healthcare workers in a fast-paced and ever-changing environment and will understand that they are the face of the organization for our candidates. Our company is growing rapidly, so the work is constant, high volume, and critical to the Company's success.
Our ideal candidate is self-motivated, has a work-hard play-hard mentality and thrives in chaos. Our HR team is hardworking, dedicated, fun, and serious about supporting each other and the organization. We do not say "no, because" we say "yes, and---" and we support each other to ensure the team's success. In this position, your responsibilities will be diverse, and the right individual will never be bored. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking for a high growth company in the healthcare space with a fabulous company culture. Occasional dance parties may break out in the kitchen, be prepared.
We value diversity of all kinds, and believe in promoting from within, so if you are looking for an opportunity to get your foot in the door and work hard and have fun while doing it, Upward Health may be for you. To be considered, you must have at least 3 years' experience in direct provider recruiting. You must be technically savvy, familiar with all current popular recruiting platforms, and understand how to find Unicorns in a talent pool full of donkeys. You must also be trustworthy, understand the importance of confidentiality, and want to help change the face of healthcare for the better for the individuals who need it most!

Must be able to work in shades of gray - this is a fast paced, ever-changing organization that prides itself on flexibility and the ability to be nimble. If rigidity, process, and policy are your jam, then we are not a good fit for you
