Senior Digital Recruiter - CHG Healthcare - Salt Lake City, UT

(2021-04 - 2026-09)

• Collaborated with hiring leadership to average 24 hires a year across mid, senior, principal/architect and leadership roles in software & platform engineering, IT, product and related disciplines.
• Ran full-cycle recruiting solo – carrying a workload of 6-8 open requisitions – from hiring leader intake through offer and onboarding. No hand-offs, no dropped threads.
• Met with hiring leaders within 48-hours of req assignment to pin down what "good" actually looks like for a role – technical bar, team fit, what's non-negotiable – before sourcing starts.
• Sourced through LinkedIn Recruiter, referrals, and direct outreach; adjust the mix based on how competitive a given search is.
• Advised hiring leaders throughout the process – what similar roles are paying, best interview practices, how long a search like theirs typically takes, where they need to compromise.
• Kept candidates in the loop even when a search stalls, even on the toughest, longest-running reqs.
