Talent Acquisition Lead

Are you a strategic recruitment visionary who loves rolling up your sleeves to make a direct impact on healthcare delivery? We are seeking a dynamic Talent Acquisition Lead to architect the future of our healthcare workforce in the Norfolk, Nebraska region. In this high-impact, individual contributor role, you will act as a trusted advisor to healthcare leadership while actively driving full-cycle recruitment across all vital clinical positions. You will reshape our hiring processes using top-tier platforms, elevate our employer brand, and mentor peer recruiters to ensure we bring the finest clinical talent to our facilities.

What You Will Do:

· Drive Clinical Recruitment: Manage the end-to-end candidate lifecycle for vital healthcare providers, including nursing staff, allied health professionals, laboratory teams, imaging technicians, and specialized clinical providers.

· Modernize Hiring & Tech: Identify and implement top-tier clinical assessment tools and modern HR technologies to optimize recruiting efficiency and elevate patient-care placement quality.

· Champion Employer Brand: Partner with our marketing team to build compelling recruitment campaigns that showcase our clinical culture, values, and the meaningful impact of health services in our community.

· Strategic Workforce Planning: Work side-by-side with clinical directors and department heads to forecast talent gaps, build resilient pipelines for high-demand roles, and align short-term staffing with long-term strategic care goals.

· Enable Clinical Leaders: Coach, train, and deliver constructive feedback to medical and clinical managers on healthcare compliance, objective interviewing, and modern assessment frameworks.

· Optimize Care Delivery Metrics: Analyze recruitment data—including time-to-fill, quality-of-hire, and cost-per-hire—to eliminate manual bottlenecks, streamline workflows, and accelerate onboarding.

What You Need to Succeed:

· Education: Bachelor’s degree in human resources, healthcare administration, or a closely related field is highly preferred.

· Experience: Minimum of 5 years of full-cycle recruitment experience required, with preference to a strong, proven background directly within healthcare staffing, clinical talent acquisition, or hospital systems. · Credentials: Active SHRM certification (SHRM-CP/SHRM-SCP) or an accredited recruiter credential (such as a SHRM Talent Acquisition Specialty Credential or equivalent) is preferred.

· Strategic Versatility: Ability to seamlessly pivot between hands-on, high-volume day-to-day clinical recruitment and high-level, long-term workforce planning.

· Tech-Savviness: Proficiency in leveraging modern Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and recruitment automation tools to eliminate manual administrative tasks.

· Functional Leadership: Exceptional communication skills to mentor peer recruiters, guide external search firms, and build deep trust with healthcare executives without needing direct supervisory authority.
