Full Job Description

Location: Chicago, IL — you will spend about 30% of your time traveling to our centers in Illinois and Texas Type: Full-Time, Exempt Compensation: $80,000 - $100,000 + bonus Most recruiters cast a wide net and hope. We design an experience. Clinical talent is one of the most competitive markets there is, and the people worth hiring rarely apply anywhere, so the only way to reach them is to have something real to say and a creative, candidate-first way to say it. We have both: a model of care most companies only talk about, and a recruiting process where every touch is honest, specific, and worth the candidate's time. You don't need to come from this industry. You need to love a hard market and know how to make the right person feel the difference. We're looking for the person to lead it. Why this role matters here Recruiting is a top priority at Gracent, not a back-office function, and we resource it that way. You'll have direct access to leadership, fast decisions, and a real seat where strategy gets made, not a mandate handed down without the support to deliver it. It lives inside Marketing on purpose. We win clinicians the same way we win families: with a brand people trust and a true, specific story about who we are. The product is genuinely good, so the job isn't to dress up something thin. It's to get the right people to feel what's real about us before a competitor gets to them first. How you’ll help us win in the hard market Hunt, not just post. The best clinicians aren't applying, so you'll build a proactive sourcing engine: direct outreach, referrals, licensure and alumni networks, professional communities, conferences, that reaches them before they're ever "on the market." Map the market cold. Know who the BCBAs, SLPs, and OTs are in every metro we serve, where they work now, what moves them, and where competitors are weak, and turn that intelligence into a live target list, not a guess. Build pipelines that compound. Nurture passive talent over months so
