Senior Healthcare Recruiter — Grow Your Practice, Scale Your Brand, and Earn Without Limits

Background

MLR is a tech-enabled healthcare staffing and recruiting platform rooted in two decades of real industry experience. We were built by people who lived through the inefficiencies, the lack of transparency, and the capped potential that defined traditional recruiting — and decided to do something about it. By fusing modern software with genuine human expertise, we've created a platform that delivers measurable results for healthcare organizations while empowering the recruiters behind those results.

We exist to raise the standard. For clients. For candidates. And for the people on our team who make every great hire possible.

At MLR, we believe great healthcare starts with great people — and we need exceptional people to help us find them.

A New Kind of Opportunity in Bakersfield, California

Picture this: the San Joaquin Valley stretching wide beneath an endless blue sky, the hum of a growing city with deep agricultural roots and a rapidly expanding healthcare economy. Bakersfield, CA is one of California's most dynamic and underrated metros — a city where the cost of living is refreshingly manageable compared to coastal counterparts, the community is tight-knit, and the demand for quality healthcare talent is climbing fast. Whether you're already planting roots here or considering a move to one of the state's most affordable and opportunity-rich cities, Bakersfield offers the kind of environment where ambition and lifestyle actually coexist.

And MLR is ready to help you build something meaningful right here.

What This Role Is About

You already have the recruiter instincts — part connector, part closer, part trusted consultant. But what if your desk became a launchpad? What if the infrastructure behind you was powerful enough to amplify everything you already do well?

We're seeking experienced, entrepreneurially-minded professionals to join our team as Senior Medical Sales and Healthcare Recruiters. This isn't a role where you clock in, fill a req, and move on. This is a platform designed around you — your brand, your strengths, your long-term vision. We give you the technology, the marketing firepower, and the operational backbone to stop managing chaos and start scaling impact.

You'll manage full-cycle searches, deepen client partnerships, and drive placements that genuinely move the needle. In return, you'll earn some of the most competitive commission rates in the industry — with no caps, no ceilings, and no limits on what you can build.

What You Will Be Doing

You will own full-cycle searches from intake call all the way through offer acceptance and close. You will show up as a true partner to your clients — understanding not just the job description, but the culture, the pain points, and the vision behind every hire. You will source strategically using our proprietary CRM and ATS alongside your own network and our built-in communications platform. You will use our all-in-one tech ecosystem to manage pipelines, automate follow-ups, and stay focused on what actually drives results. You will prioritize permanent placements that create lasting value for clients and strong, uncapped earnings for yourself. And you will contribute to something bigger — a growing brand and thought leadership movement that elevates the entire recruiting profession.

What You Will Receive

We built our infrastructure with one goal in mind: remove the bottlenecks so you can do what you do best.

You will have access to an all-in-one platform that combines CRM, ATS, and marketing communications in a single, streamlined interface — no more jumping between seven tools or drowning in sticky notes. You will receive personalized marketing support to grow your own recruiter brand, including landing pages, outreach campaigns, and lead generation assets built around you. Our back-end operations team handles contracts, credentialing, compliance, and copywriting so none of that ever slows you down. Your compensation is performance-based with commission rates that outpace industry norms and an absolute ceiling of zero. And this role is fully remote, entirely flexible, and designed for professionals who have already proven they do not need someone looking over their shoulder.

Who We Are Looking For

The ideal candidate brings two to three or more years of agency recruiting or consultative sales experience. A background in healthcare is a strong asset, though we are equally committed to coaching the right person through that learning curve. You are skilled at managing client relationships, navigating objections, and closing offers with confidence. You are comfortable working inside ATS and CRM platforms — we will train you on ours. Most importantly, you have an entrepreneurial mindset and a genuine desire to build something that lasts beyond any single placement.

This role is especially well suited for senior recruiters who are ready to expand their reach, medical sales professionals or healthcare insiders who are ready to pivot into recruiting, agency recruiters who are exhausted by administrative chaos and earnings ceilings, and relationship-driven professionals who want their income to reflect their actual impact.

What Genuinely Sets Us Apart

We are not a micromanagement shop. We are an enablement organization. Our entire model is engineered to help you scale — not just your placement numbers, but your professional reputation and your personal recruiting practice. Whether your ambition is seven-figure commissions, executive-level client relationships, or eventually launching your own vertical under our banner, we have built the tools and the culture to help you get there.

Let's Build Something Worth Talking About

MLR is not a traditional staffing agency. We are a tech-enabled recruiting platform that treats senior recruiters as strategic partners and gives them everything they need to prove it. If you are ready to work with more focus, earn with more freedom, and grow your influence in one of the country's most essential industries, we want to hear from you.

Apply today and start building your brand with the backing you have always deserved.
