Fractional Recruiter - Dental Industry Experience Preferred
1099 Contractor | Remote | Ongoing Engagement
Deep End Talent Strategies is a full-service HR consulting firm that partners with organizations on recruiting, HR strategy, employee relations, compensation, and other people-related needs. Recruiting is a significant part of our work, and one of our dental industry clients has enough ongoing hiring activity that we are looking to add a fractional recruiter to our team who will work primarily on their account.
This is an ongoing 1099 contractor opportunity, generally ranging from approximately 30-40 hours per week depending on hiring volume and contractor availability. There may also be opportunities to support recruiting for other Deep End clients over time.
What You’ll Do
You’ll manage the early stages of the recruiting process, with a particular focus on proactively finding candidates with specialized dental laboratory or restorative dental experience.
Responsibilities will include:
Proactively sourcing candidates through LinkedIn and other appropriate channels
Identifying candidates with experience in dental labs and restorative dentistry, including implants, crowns, and bridges
Seeking candidates with experience in digital dentistry and scanning technologies
Reviewing resumes and applications for relevant experience
Conducting first-round candidate interviews via recorded video calls
Evaluating candidates and providing concise, thoughtful recommendations to the hiring team
Presenting qualified candidates to the hiring manager
Managing candidate communication and follow-up throughout the recruiting process
Maintaining accurate candidate records and activity within BreezyHR
Supporting additional Deep End recruiting projects as needs and availability allow
Tools You’ll Use
Deep End currently uses:
LinkedIn Premium job slots
LinkedIn organic searches
BreezyHR as our applicant tracking system
Indeed and other recruiting platforms when appropriate and with approved budget
What We’re Looking For
This role requires someone who is comfortable doing more than reviewing inbound applications. Much of the value you’ll bring will come from proactively identifying and engaging candidates with fairly specialized experience.
We’re looking for someone who:
Has recruiting, sourcing, talent acquisition, or closely related experience
Is comfortable conducting proactive candidate outreach
Can quickly understand specialized roles and distinguish relevant experience from adjacent experience
Is organized and dependable with candidate follow-up
Communicates professionally and warmly with candidates and clients
Has excellent written and verbal English communication skills
Is comfortable conducting recorded video interviews
Can work independently while keeping the Deep End team informed of progress, challenges, and hiring-market feedback
Experience recruiting in dental, healthcare, medical device, laboratory, manufacturing, or other specialized technical environments would be particularly helpful, but strong sourcing ability and curiosity are equally important.
Compensation & Engagement
This is an independent contractor (1099) role. The rate is $25- $35/hour, with weekly direct pay (no third-party service taking fees off the top). This is a remote role within the US, Eastern or Central time zones preferred. We estimate 30-40 hours per week indefinitely based on client needs and contractor performance. The contractor will use our Microsoft ecosystem with a Deep End branded email but will supply their own computer.
We are looking for someone who would enjoy becoming a consistent part of the Deep End team rather than simply taking on a short-term recruiting project. Please note we are a search firm, so outreach by other search firms is redundant, and we are not in a position to partner with other firms on this effort. Individuals only, please.
