ISTA Personnel Solutions is a dynamic and fast-growing BPO company. We are not a recruitment agency. We partner with international US clients and integrate our staff members directly within our clients operations. We focus on long-term placements where you contribute directly to the clients success.
We are placing a Recruiter on behalf of a fast-growing US-based travel therapy staffing company. This is NOT a commission-based role. Our client 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 need a proactive, energetic recruiter who can hit the ground running — building a candidate pipeline, engaging clinicians across social platforms, and helping to grow the company's brand presence online.
This is a high-energy, results-driven role with direct mentorship from a senior recruiter. If you're a natural hunter who loves talking to people, gets a buzz from placing candidates, and knows your way around a LinkedIn post and a Facebook Group — this role was made for you!
