• Build referral sources through community organizations, churches, cultural centers, schools, and workforce programs, including outreach within the Chaldean and Arabic-speaking community.
• Represent Compassionate Arms at job fairs, hiring events, and community outreach activities.
• Track open needs by program, county, shift, and language so recruiting targets the agency’s actual gaps.

• At lower volume, source and screen LPN and RN candidates for skilled nursing visits and supervisory or assessment duties, including verifying active Michigan nursing licenses and relevant experience.
• Coordinate clinical interviews with nursing leadership.
