• Creating memorable candidate experiences through personalized follow-up communication, handwritten notes, and post-visit engagement
• Supporting conference and industry recruiting initiatives including events such as IVECCS and campus recruiting activities
• Assisting with employer branding initiatives focused on ER, Specialty, and Urgent Care medicine
• Partnering with recruitment leadership on sourcing strategy, pipeline development, and talent engagement
• Gathering market intelligence related to compensation trends, candidate motivations, and industry movement
