Recruiter — Healthcare & Human Services

Department: Human Resources
Location: , RI

If you're the kind of recruiter who thrives when the work is varied and the mission is real — who wants to fill roles that actually matter — EBCAP might be exactly where you're supposed to be. We're a multi-program nonprofit serving Rhode Island's East Bay as a Federally Qualified Health Center, Community Mental Health Center, Community Action Program, and Head Start provider — 10 locations, 460+ employees. Our People Operations team holds the standard: for hiring, for culture, and for how people are treated at work.

The Role

You'll own full-cycle recruitment across a varied portfolio: licensed behavioral health clinicians, primary care providers, Head Start teachers and education staff, youth services workers, and community program staff. Roughly 80–120 hires annually, with seasonal rhythms and compliance requirements.

Our People Operations team is actively rebuilding infrastructure — new ATS (Pinpoint), new compensation bands, new workforce analytics function. You won't just execute someone else's playbook. You'll help write it.

What You'll Do

  • Run full-cycle recruitment across clinical, early childhood education, and community services roles
  • Build and maintain talent pipelines with URI, RIC, CCRI, and clinical training programs
  • Own seasonal hiring cycles — May and August Head Start pushes have real deadlines
  • Coordinate pre-employment compliance: CANTS screening, background checks, credentialing support, I-9 documentation
  • Build recruiting dashboards and track time-to-fill, source effectiveness, and turnover patterns
  • Partner with hiring managers to sharpen job requirements and interview processes
  • Coordinate with our People Operations Partners to ensure that new hires have a smooth onboarding experience
  • Contribute to employer brand development — we're building this from the ground up
  • Co-facilitate components of our Manager School curriculum
  • Support workforce analytics and strategic staffing forecasts

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in healthcare, behavioral health, human services, or education — you're detail-oriented and know that the right hire matters more than a fast fill
  • Comfort with compliance-heavy hiring: background checks, licensing verification, federal program requirements
  • ATS proficiency; Pinpoint experience is a bonus, but the ability to learn and build process matters more
  • Strong data skills — you track your own metrics and can explain what they mean
  • Clear, direct writing — job postings, outreach messages, and hiring manager communications that actually get read
  • AI fluency - you know when to turn to AI for assistance but bring critical thinking skills to do your own analysis and editing
  • Ability to manage multiple open requisitions across very different role types
  • Willingness to travel between East Providence, Newport, Tiverton, and Warren locations

Bonus — Not Required

  • Knowledge of Head Start Performance Standards or CDA credentialing
  • Experience recruiting licensed clinicians (LCSW, LMHC, LPN, NP)
  • Familiarity with HRSA compliance environments

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: $75,000–$80,000
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision — heavily subsidized
  • 403(b) with employer match
  • Generous PTO: 15 days of vacation, up to 2 personal days, 6 days of sick leave, and 12 paid holidays
  • Hybrid schedule: up to 2 days remote after onboarding
  • Tuition and professional development reimbursement
  • Employer-paid life insurance and long-term disability

This role is based in our East Providence office. Occasional travel to locations across the East Bay, including Head Start sites in the Newport area, is required.
