Location: Downtown Brooklyn, NY (on-site)

Type: Full-Time, Permanent
Schedule: Monday–Friday

About the Role

A Brooklyn-based staffing firm is hiring a true full-desk (360) recruiter with a headhunter mentality—someone who can source and engage talent (not “post and pray”), operate confidently on both sides of the desk, and help support a portfolio of City/State agency clients (plus a smaller private-client portfolio).

This is a primarily contract staffing environment with meaningful emphasis on post-placement management and retention of talent on assignment.

What You’ll Do

  • Run 360/full-desk recruiting: business development + recruiting delivery + stakeholder management.

  • Proactively source and recruit healthcare talent (and some non-clinical roles), including passive candidates.

  • Take on account management responsibilities and help support/expand existing client relationships.

  • Own full lifecycle recruiting: intake/qualify, interview coordination, feedback, negotiation, and close.

  • Manage post-placement success: support retention and performance of talent on assignment.

  • Contract staffing focus: ideally has managed ~12+ contractors on billing at once.

  • Maintain strong workflow hygiene in the ATS and support accurate pipeline/activity tracking.

  • Navigate VMS-driven client processes.

  • Use AI tools as part of day-to-day productivity (company uses Microsoft Copilot within Office 365).

What We’re Looking For

Must-Haves

  • Demonstrated history of 360/full-desk recruiting (client + recruiting), not recruiting-only.

  • Strong sourcing capability (outreach, networking, passive talent strategies).

  • Client-facing confidence and experience with account management and/or business development.

  • Contract staffing experience with post-placement / on-assignment management.

  • Experience using an ATS, job boards, and social recruiting.

  • Traits: good humor, emotionally intelligent (“read the room”), scrappy/resilient, professionally curious.

Preferred

  • Exposure to state/local government clients and/or working a public-sector portfolio.

  • Familiarity with VMS environments (Vector experience a plus).

Types of Roles You’ll Support (Examples)

  • Healthcare (contract, long-term): RNs, Nurse Practitioners, Medical Assistants, Phlebotomists.

  • Non-clinical/non-healthcare: Senior Accountants, Tax Accountants, Paralegals.

  • Plus a smaller portfolio of private clients.
