Provider Recruiter

Building Location:

Support Services Center - Fargo

Department:

1007350 PROVIDER RECRUITING - EH SS

Job Description:

Each new specialty Essentia adds in Fargo starts with a conversation. A physician finishing fellowship in another state, weighing two offers and wondering what life looks like in the Red River Valley. Our Provider Recruiters are the people who make that picture real: who we are, the patients we serve, and why this is the place to build a career.

We are adding a Provider Recruiter to our Fargo team. You will own recruitment for a clinical division from first conversation to signed agreement, working side by side with physician leaders and site administrators across our system. If you understand healthcare, love the work of selling a place and a team, and want a seat where your work shows up in patient access for years to come, we would like to talk with you.

Education Qualifications:

Bachelor degree required with a preference in business, marketing, human resources, communications, health or related field.

Work Location

This role is based in Fargo, ND, with regular in-person presence expected. Travel throughout the Essentia footprint is part of the job, including site visits and time with physician and site leaders.

What You Will Need

• Two or more years of experience in recruiting, talent acquisition, or relationship-based sales, with healthcare experience strongly preferred
• Working knowledge of how healthcare organizations operate, and comfort speaking with physicians and clinical leaders
• Ability to manage a full desk independently, with sound judgment and strong follow-through
• Excellent communication skills, written and in person
• Valid driver's license, current auto insurance, and willingness to travel regularly throughout the region

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• You have recruited in another high-touch setting, such as higher education admissions, academic recruiting, or collegiate athletics, and know how to sell a place, a program, and a team
• You are a team player who knows your position on the field and brings a calm, confident presence to a room
• You are energized by relationships and by the long game of building trust with leaders and candidates

What You Will Do

• Own full-cycle physician recruitment for an assigned clinical division across Essentia's system, start to finish
• Partner with division chairs, their physician-administrator dyads, and site administrators to understand needs, build recruitment plans, and keep searches moving
• Source, screen, and build relationships with physician candidates, then guide them through interviews, site visits, and offer
• Plan and host in-person site visits, and travel throughout our footprint to meet leaders and candidates where they are
• Tell the Essentia story well: the community, the practice, the culture, and what life outside of work looks like here
• Coordinate with Provider Compensation, Credentialing, and Payer Enrollment so new physicians have a smooth path to their first day
• Keep clean, timely records and share recruitment progress with leaders in a way that is clear and useful

Room to grow

You do not need to have recruited physicians before. You will learn the language and the process alongside an experienced team.

Licensure/Certification Qualifications:

• Possession of a valid motor vehicle operator's license as verified through appropriate licensing agency
• Must meet the driving requirements and criteria acceptable to Essentia Health's insurer
