Join a fast-growing healthcare technology organization working to make healthcare innovation more accessible and improve patient outcomes. As a Contract Recruiter, you will partner directly with leadership to drive full-cycle hiring across the United States and Canada. You will own recruitment initiatives from initial role intake and talent sourcing through interviews, offer negotiations, and successful placements. Beyond filling open positions, you will help strengthen hiring practices, coach hiring managers, and build scalable recruitment processes that support business growth. This hands-on role offers significant autonomy in a fast-paced, mission-driven startup environment. The initial six-month contract may also provide an opportunity to extend the engagement or transition into a full-time Talent Partner position, depending on performance and business needs.

Manage full-cycle recruitment: Own the complete hiring process across multiple functions, from role intake and sourcing to candidate screening, interview management, offer negotiation, and closing.
Build strong talent pipelines: Develop and maintain a qualified candidate pipeline across the United States and Canada to meet current hiring priorities and future workforce needs.
Lead sourcing and outreach: Identify prospective candidates, conduct targeted outreach, manage job postings, and implement screening strategies to attract and engage suitable talent.
Partner with leadership and hiring managers: Collaborate closely with company leadership to understand hiring needs, define role requirements, prioritize searches, and deliver recruitment outcomes.
Improve interview quality: Train and coach hiring managers, align interviewers on evaluation criteria, strengthen interview practices, and maintain high standards throughout candidate assessment.
Maintain accurate recruitment records: Keep the talent database organized and up to date, tracking candidate qualifications, availability, and relevant recruitment information.
Monitor recruitment performance: Provide weekly updates on pipeline health, time-to-fill, hiring progress, and performance against recruitment goals.
Optimize hiring processes: Identify opportunities to improve sourcing, screening, interviewing, and recruitment operations, implementing practical solutions that increase efficiency and quality.
Deliver results quickly: Adapt to changing priorities, learn the business rapidly, and independently manage recruitment activities in a high-growth environment.
