Senior Healthcare Recruiter — Scale Your Practice, Elevate Your Brand, and Own Your Future

There is a certain kind of recruiter who never quite fits the traditional mold. They close deals before lunch, build genuine relationships that last years, and constantly find themselves bumping up against ceilings that were never meant for them. If that sounds familiar, keep reading — because what we are building at MLR was designed with you in mind.

About MLR

MLR is a tech-enabled healthcare staffing and recruiting platform rooted in more than twenty years of hard-earned industry knowledge. We were built by people who have lived the recruiting life — who know what it feels like to juggle seven browser tabs, chase paper trails, and watch commission structures evaporate under fine print. So we built something better.

Our platform fuses smart automation with genuine human expertise, giving recruiters the kind of infrastructure that was once reserved for enterprise-level firms. We partner with healthcare organizations of every size, helping them connect with the right talent faster and more meaningfully. And at the center of all of it is a simple belief: great healthcare starts with great people. We need exceptional recruiters to help us find them.

The Opportunity

Columbus, Ohio is having a moment. One of the fastest-growing metros in the Midwest, it has emerged as a powerhouse hub for healthcare, technology, and innovation. Home to one of the largest university medical centers in the country, a thriving network of regional health systems, and a business community that rewards ambition, Columbus offers a market landscape that is rich with opportunity for a savvy, relationship-driven recruiter who is ready to plant a flag.

We are actively seeking experienced, entrepreneurial Senior Medical and Healthcare Recruiters to join our growing team. This is not a seat at someone else's table. This is your platform, your practice, and your brand — with the full weight of our technology, marketing muscle, and operational support behind you.

You will manage full-cycle placements from intake all the way through close, all while cultivating the kind of client partnerships that generate repeat business and long-term loyalty. And with commission rates that sit well above what most agencies dare to offer, the earning potential here is not a talking point — it is a genuine, uncapped reality.

What You Will Be Doing

You will own searches end to end. From the first client intake call to the moment an offer is accepted, you are the architect of every placement. You will serve as a true strategic partner to your clients — learning their hiring pain points, understanding their culture, and delivering candidates that actually fit rather than just fill a seat.

Sourcing will be strategic and supported. Our proprietary CRM and ATS platform gives you a centralized hub for candidate management, outreach tracking, and automated follow-ups. No more drowning in sticky notes or digging through inboxes hoping for the best. You will also have access to our built-in communications platform, designed to keep your pipeline organized and your outreach sharp.

Beyond placements, you will have the opportunity to contribute to thought leadership and brand-building initiatives — both for MLR and for yourself as an individual recruiter. We are serious about helping you grow your professional presence in the market.

What You Will Receive

We built our infrastructure around one goal: removing the friction that slows great recruiters down. Here is what that looks like in practice.

Our all-in-one platform brings together your CRM, ATS, and marketing communications into a single, streamlined interface. No more toggling between tools or losing track of where a candidate stands in the process.

Our marketing team will work alongside you to build out your personal recruiting brand — think recruiter landing pages, lead magnets, outbound campaigns, and content that positions you as a trusted voice in the healthcare staffing space.

Back-end operations are fully handled. Contracts, credentialing, compliance, copywriting — our support team has it covered so that your energy stays where it belongs: building relationships and closing placements.

Compensation is performance-based and uncapped. We are not going to bury the ceiling somewhere in your offer letter, because there is no ceiling. The more value you create, the more you earn.

And yes, this is a fully remote role. Work from wherever you do your best thinking.

Who We Are Looking For

The right person for this role brings at least two to three years of agency recruiting or consultative sales experience to the table. You do not need to have spent your entire career in healthcare, but you need to have a genuine curiosity about the space and a willingness to learn — because our team will coach you every step of the way.

You are comfortable managing multiple client relationships simultaneously without dropping the ball. You know how to navigate an ATS or CRM system and you are not afraid of learning new tools. Most importantly, you carry an entrepreneurial mindset. You are not here for a job. You are here to build something.

What Makes Us Different

We do not micromanage. We enable. Our entire model is designed to help you scale — not just your placement numbers, but your entire recruiting practice. Whether you are chasing seven-figure commissions, building an executive client portfolio, or eventually launching your own vertical under our banner, we give you the tools, the support, and the strategic backing to make it happen.

This role is built for senior recruiters who are ready to level up, for medical sales professionals looking to pivot into recruiting, for agency veterans who are exhausted by administrative chaos and arbitrary commission caps, and for natural relationship-builders who want their earnings to reflect their actual impact.

Let's Build Something Together

MLR is not a traditional staffing agency. We are a tech-enabled recruiting platform that treats its senior recruiters as strategic partners — not order-takers, not headcount, not cogs. If you are ready to work with more intelligence, earn without limits, and grow your influence across the healthcare landscape in one of the Midwest's most exciting markets, we would love to connect.
