ROLE OVERVIEW
About the Client:
The client is a leading Locum Tenens & Healthcare Staffing Agency that connects top physician talent with hospitals across the U.S. They combine AI-driven recruitment with a personalized, data-based approach to reduce hiring time, eliminate costly turnover, and improve healthcare staffing nationwide.
About the Role:
This is a high-volume physician recruitment role where your phone is your primary tool. Every day, fellowship-trained physicians across America are looking for flexible, well-compensated locum tenens assignments--your job is to find them, qualify them, and connect them with urgent hospital needs.
You will source, engage, and qualify physicians through relentless outbound activity: cold calls, warm follow-ups, and strategic text campaigns. Success in this role is measured by consistent daily activity and weekly candidate submissions. If you thrive on conversations, can handle rejection, and get energy from helping physicians find their next opportunity, this role is for you.
What You'll Achieve (Metrics & Trajectory)
Months 1-3 (Foundation & Ramp)

  • Complete 100 outbound calls per day (cold calls, warm follow-ups, reactivation calls).
  • Send 50+ personalized texts/messages daily to physician prospects.
  • Conduct 3-5 qualification screenings per day.
  • Submit 4 qualified candidates per week to active job orders.
  • Build and maintain a personal candidate pipeline of 25+ engaged physicians.
Months 4-6 (Pipeline Velocity)
  • Maintain 100+ calls per day with improved connect and conversion rates.
  • Increase submissions to 6-8 qualified candidates per week.
  • Develop specialty expertise in 2-3 high-demand areas (radiology, anesthesiology, or EM).
  • Contribute to 2+ placements per month (sourced and qualified by you).
  • Begin building a referral network from placed physicians.
Months 7-12 (Senior Recruiter Path)
  • Maintain 8+ weekly submissions with higher qualification accuracy.
  • Own full-cycle recruitment for select accounts.
  • Contribute to 3+ placements per month.
  • Mentor new recruiters on call techniques and candidate qualification.
  • Begin shadowing credentialing and client relationship management for career progression.
Your Day-to-Day: The Candidate Hunter Schedule
You are a phone-first recruiter who builds relationships through volume and consistency. This role is remote and requires full overlap with US East Coast business hours when physicians are available.
Morning Block (8:00 AM-12:00 PM EST)
  • Power Calling (50+ calls): Work through prioritized call lists--new leads, callback requests, and reactivation targets. Focus on connecting with physicians before their clinical shifts begin.
  • Text Campaigns: Send personalized text messages to physicians who haven't answered, referencing specific opportunities matching their specialty and preferences.
  • Voicemail Drops: Leave compelling, concise voicemails that drive callbacks.
Afternoon Block (12:00 PM-5:00 PM EST)
  • Continued Calling (50+ calls): Target physicians during lunch breaks and post-shift hours. Follow up on morning voicemails and text responses.
  • Qualification Screenings: Conduct 15-30 minute qualification calls with interested physicians--verify credentials, availability, state licensure, rate expectations, and geographic preferences.
  • Candidate Submissions: Package and submit qualified candidates to active job orders with detailed profiles.
  • CRM Management: Log all activities, update candidate statuses, and document detailed notes on preferences, objections, and next steps in HubSpot.
End of Day (Final 30 Minutes)
  • Pipeline Review: Assess daily metrics against targets. Identify gaps and plan tomorrow's priority call list.
  • Candidate Follow-Up: Send any outstanding follow-up texts or emails to keep warm candidates engaged.
Qualifications & Skills
You Have the Recruiter DNA
Experience: 1-3 years in high-volume recruiting, staffing, or inside sales--preferably in healthcare, travel nursing, or professional services.
Phone Confidence: You're comfortable making 100+ calls daily and don't take rejection personally. Every "no" gets you closer to a "yes."
Activity Discipline: You understand that consistent daily inputs (calls, texts, screenings) drive weekly outputs (submissions, placements).
Candidate-Centric Mindset: You genuinely enjoy helping people find opportunities and can build rapport quickly over the phone.
You Have the Communication Skills
Conversational Agility: You can shift tone seamlessly--from a casual check-in with a traveling EM doc to a professional discussion with a senior radiologist.
Listening & Qualification: You ask the right questions to uncover availability, motivation, rate expectations, and deal-breakers early.
Objection Handling: When a physician says "I'm not looking," you know how to pivot to
"What would make you look?" and keep the door open.
You Have the Work Style
High Energy & Resilience: Phone rejection is part of the job. You reset quickly and keep dialing.
Self-Directed Execution: You manage your own time, hit daily call targets without supervision, and own your numbers.
