A community‑focused healthcare organization in Chicago is seeking an experienced Nurse Recruiter to support high‑volume clinical hiring during a period of departmental rebuilding and transformation. This is a critical, hands‑on role for a recruiter who thrives in fast‑paced environments, can manage significant requisition volume, and knows how to effectively engage and “sell” candidates on mission, impact, and opportunity.
The Nurse Recruiter will play a key role in restoring trust with hiring managers, strengthening recruitment processes, and supporting the organization’s broader goal of improving the employee experience within a safety‑net hospital setting.
THE ROLE:
* Manage a high‑volume nursing recruitment workload, often supporting 30-70+ active requisitions simultaneously.
* Partner closely with hiring managers to understand staffing needs, provide guidance, and rebuild confidence in the recruitment process.
* Source, screen, and guide nursing candidates through the full recruitment lifecycle.
* Serve as a compelling ambassador for the organization, clearly communicating mission, culture, and growth initiatives to candidates.
* Navigate competitive and challenging recruiting conditions, including lower‑than‑market compensation and perception barriers.
* Collaborate with HR and leadership as the department is retooled following organizational changes.
YOU:
* Prior experience recruiting nurses in a high‑volume environment; hospital experience strongly preferred.
* Agency recruiters with a strong nursing focus will be considered.
* Comfortable managing heavy workloads and shifting priorities.
* Strong communicator with the ability to influence, build trust, and manage expectations with hiring managers and candidates alike.
* Mission‑aligned and motivated by work that directly impacts underserved communities.
* Bachelor’s degree preferred, not required.
DETAILS:
* Full‑time, on‑site role (Monday-Friday, 8:00/8:30am-5:00/5:30pm).
* Salary range: $70,000-$90,000, commensurate with experience.
* No bonus or overtime.
* Comprehensive benefits package including 403(b) and Blue Cross Blue Shield health coverage.
* Parking available on site.
This organization is investing in its future-having recently expanded facilities, refreshed leadership, and committed to strengthening its culture, employee experience, and community presence.
