This fully remote recruiting engagement supports Legacy’s talent acquisition team as they staff multiple clinics and healthcare programs across the Houston and Beaumont regions.

We are looking for recruiters who can step in quickly, manage requisitions independently, communicate effectively with hiring managers, and deliver well-vetted candidates in a fast-moving healthcare environment.

Legacy Community Health is more than just a healthcare organization—it is a mission-driven leader dedicated to providing comprehensive, high-quality care to underserved communities.
