Recruitment Specialist

At KIDS NW, every caregiver you hire goes directly into the life of a person with an intellectual or developmental disability and the family who depends on them. A strong match means someone receives consistent, compassionate support. You will see the results of your work, not just a filled requisition.

We are seeking a recruiter who wants true ownership of the hiring process, not a role where applications arrive and you simply move them along.

• Own the entire process. Source, screen, interview, extend offers, and coordinate onboarding from start to finish, with no handoffs.
• Source proactively. Use Linked In, Indeed, social media, and referrals, and represent KIDS NW at recruiting events, job fairs, networking events, and Chamber of Commerce functions. You will build a pipeline before we are in a crunch.
• Match people, not just fill roles. Work directly with families and care teams to understand their needs, then identify caregivers who are the right fit for the long term.
• Solve problems. When a recruiting channel stalls, you will try a new approach, with the freedom and support to do so.
• Keep things moving. Handle references, background checks, and documentation, and schedule required training, so new hires start smoothly and candidates are always kept informed.

• Professional recruiting experience, ideally full-cycle
• Strong sourcing, screening, and interviewing skills
• Experience with an ATS and sourcing tools (Linked In Recruiter and Indeed are a plus)
• Excellent organization and follow-through, and the ability to manage competing priorities
• Clear, warm communication with candidates, families, and teammates
• A habit of identifying problems and solving them without being asked

Experience recruiting in healthcare, home care, behavioral health, or IDD; high-volume or hard-to-fill hiring; and onboarding and compliance coordination.
