Required Experience

  • 10+ years of leadership experience in healthcare staffing.

  • Direct experience in behavioral health staffing to include roles such as mental health counselors, ABA therapists (BCBAs), drug & alcohol counselors, etc. 

  • Proven track record of building and scaling a staffing business (ideally $40M+).

  • Strong client-facing sales experience with history of generating new business.

  • Experience leading both sales and recruiting organizations.

  • P&L ownership or direct responsibility for revenue and margin performance.

Leadership Characteristics

  • Entrepreneurial and execution-oriented.
