Long Term Contract Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

Contract Healthcare Recruiter - Pharmacy
Help connect pharmacy talent to meaningful community healthcare in a high-impact contract recruiting role.
Remote | Houston, TX Area Candidates Strongly Preferred
$35/hour | Long-Term Contract | Potential Permanent Conversion
Overview
Ascend Sync is partnering with Legacy Community Health, the largest Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in Southeast Texas, to find an experienced Contract Healthcare Recruiter - Pharmacy who can step in quickly and support urgent pharmacy hiring needs.
Legacy Community Health operates more than 50 clinics across the Greater Houston and Gulf Coast region and has delivered comprehensive, high-quality, and affordable healthcare for nearly 40 years.
This is a long-term contract opportunity paying $35/hour, with the potential to convert to a permanent position in the future, most likely in 2027.
The position is remote; however, candidates based in the Houston, TX area are strongly preferred. Legacy's Pharmacy team gathers periodically and values having its recruiter participate in person. The recruiter may also represent Legacy at pharmacy school career fairs throughout the Houston area.
Candidates outside Houston are welcome to apply and are encouraged to explain why this opportunity is a strong fit. Because local candidates will be prioritized, response times for non-local applicants may be somewhat longer.
In this role, your day will include candidate outreach, sourcing, screening, follow-up, and close collaboration with hiring managers. You'll use web-based recruiting tools and an applicant tracking system to keep searches organized, maintain clear communication, and provide an excellent candidate experience.
If you enjoy building relationships, keeping stakeholders informed, and helping purpose-driven healthcare teams hire the right people, this is an opportunity to make an immediate and meaningful impact.
Key Responsibilities

• Recruit for pharmacy and pharmacy-related positions in support of critical healthcare hiring needs.
• Partner closely with hiring managers to understand staffing priorities, align expectations, and provide consultative recruiting support.
• Source, screen, and engage qualified candidates using web-based recruiting tools and an applicant tracking system.
• Maintain organized recruiting workflows and consistent candidate and hiring manager follow-up throughout the hiring process.
• Deliver a positive, professional, and responsive candidate experience from initial outreach through final communication.
• Represent Legacy Community Health at pharmacy school career fairs throughout the Houston area.
• Participate in periodic in-person gatherings with Legacy's Pharmacy team.
• Present Legacy's opportunities to candidates in a compelling, accurate, and mission-aligned way.
• Keep searches moving efficiently by balancing urgency, professionalism, communication, and attention to detail.

Qualifications

• Direct recruiting experience, ideally within a healthcare environment.
• Experience recruiting for pharmacy positions or clearly transferable experience supporting pharmacy-related hiring.
• Experience using web-based recruiting tools and applicant tracking systems to manage candidates and recruiting workflows.
• Strong consultative communication skills when partnering with hiring managers and other stakeholders.
• Excellent candidate follow-up habits and a commitment to providing a positive candidate experience.
• An approachable, responsive, and solution-oriented customer-service mindset.
• Ability to communicate a mission-driven healthcare employment opportunity honestly and effectively.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple active searches and priorities.
• Houston-area candidates are strongly preferred due to periodic in-person Pharmacy team gatherings and local career fair representation. Candidates outside the Houston area are still encouraged to apply.
