Are you the kind of person who does not wait for the phone to ring Good. We should talk. 

Unitek Learning is looking for a highly driven Graduate Placement & Employer Development Specialist to help our Medical Assisting graduates launch their healthcare careers. This is not a sit-back-and-process-paperwork role. This is a build-the-pipeline open-the-door make-the-call land-the-job-order match-the-graduate verify-the-hire kind of role. 

In other words if you have ever worked a recruiting desk chased job orders sourced employer partners filled openings and felt the sweet satisfaction of making a placement happen you may have just found your next lane. 

The Opportunity:

You will own employment outcomes for Medical Assisting graduates across assigned Bay Area and/or Sacramento-area campuses. Your job is to build strong employer partnerships with medical offices clinics urgent care centers specialty practices hospital systems and other healthcare employers who need talent. You will spend time on campus and in the field. That means calls emails texts in-person visits networking follow-up and more follow-up. The glamorous stuff. The coffee-fueled stuff. The I know exactly who you should interview stuff.

• Create and grow employer partnerships that lead to real hiring opportunities. 
• Generate job leads and job orders for Medical Assisting graduates. 
• Match graduates to open roles based on employer needs graduate readiness and likelihood of hire. 
• Coach graduates on resumes interviews job search strategy and professional follow-up.

This role is driven by outcomes. We measure activity pipeline movement employer development and verified graduate employment. The goal is clear; help our Medical Assisting graduates get hired and help campuses meet or exceed employment rates of 70% or higher for each reporting year.  You will know where your pipeline stands. You will know which employers are hiring. You will know which graduates are ready. You will know where the bottlenecks are and you will not wait around hoping someone else fixes them. 

Who Will Crush This Role:

• You do not need someone standing over your shoulder to tell you what needs to happen next. You see the goal you build the plan make the calls follow the lead close the loop and keep moving until the outcome is real.  
• A former staffing agency recruiter who misses the thrill of making placements happen. 
• A business development or sales-minded professional who knows how to build relationships and create opportunity. 
• A self-starter who does not need someone hovering nearby with a checklist and a motivational mug. 
• Comfortable with cold outreach field visits and employer conversations. 
• Motivated by goals metrics urgency and results.

• Comfort using Microsoft Office. Experience with PowerBI CampusVue/CampusNexus ATS CRM or similar tracking systems is a plus but we can train you on industry specific software.  
• Knowledge of healthcare hiring allied health outpatient clinics or medical office environments is helpful but we can teach healthcare. We need someone who already knows how to hustle with purpose. 
• Reliable transportation a valid drivers license and current insurance are required. This role includes regular in-person employer outreach and regional travel. 

A Quick Reality Check:

This is an hourly non-exempt role and is not commission-based. Mileage is reimbursed for employer partnership development activities. That said the people who thrive here often come from commission-minded environments because they know how to create momentum own their pipeline and drive results without waiting for permission. The difference Here you get to use that same recruiter/sales muscle with more consistency more purpose and fewer please let this commission check hit before rent is due moments. 

If you need a quiet inbox a predictable day and someone to hand you warm leads this may not be your dream job. 

If you like building something owning your outcomes and helping graduates walk into the healthcare careers they worked hard for while helping solve healthcare worker shortages in the communities we serve this role has your name all over it. 

The Bigger Win:
