About this role
ISTA Personnel Solutions is a fast-growing, global BPO company. We are not a recruitment agency — we operate as a dedicated extension of our U.S.-based clients' teams, delivering high-quality operational support with precision, efficiency, and professionalism.
We are recruiting on behalf of a fast-growing U.S.-based travel therapy staffing company that places licensed healthcare clinicians — including Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, Speech-Language Pathologists, and Nurses — into 13-week travel contracts across the United States.
With over 300 open positions and a rapidly expanding client base, the business is growing faster than its current team can handle. They are looking for a proactive, high-energy recruiter who can hit the ground running — building a strong candidate pipeline, engaging clinicians across social platforms, and contributing to the company's brand visibility online.
This is a candidate-facing, interview-heavy role with direct mentorship from a senior recruiter. If you are a natural relationship-builder who gets a buzz from placing candidates, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and knows your way around a LinkedIn post and a Facebook group — this role was made for you.
About the Role
As a Recruiter, you will be the engine behind the company's candidate pipeline. This is a 180-degree recruitment role — meaning it is highly candidate-facing rather than client-facing. You will be conducting back-to-back screening interviews, proactively sourcing clinicians across multiple platforms, managing your pipeline with discipline, and building the brand's presence in online communities.
This is not a commission-based role.
