The Talent Acquisition Specialist owns full-cycle recruitment, with a primary and dedicated focus on campus and early-career sales hiring — including sales development reps, account executive associates, and new-grad sales trainees. This role builds relationships with universities and colleges, runs full-cycle recruitment for entry-level sales positions, and partners closely with Sales leadership to keep the early-career pipeline full, diverse, and ready to convert into future sales hires. Beyond the campus program, this role also recruits for other open roles across Levata's business — partnering with hiring managers across functions to source, screen, and close qualified candidates.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Campus & Early Career Recruitment
- Follow a campus recruitment strategy to attract early-career sales talent from universities and colleges.
- Develop and maintain relationships with career services offices, business and sales programs, and student sales organizations to build a sustained talent pipeline.
- Plan and represent Levata at career fairs, campus information sessions, case competitions, and collegiate sales competitions.
- Manage full-cycle recruitment for entry-level and early-career sales roles — sourcing, screening, interviewing, and offer — from requisition to start date.
Sourcing & Pipeline Development
- Source candidates through university partnerships, LinkedIn, job boards, employee referrals, and sales-focused student organizations.
- Build and maintain a talent community/pipeline for future early-career sales openings, so roles fill quickly against a warm pool of candidates.
- Track and report on pipeline health — applicant flow, conversion, time-to-fill, and diversity of pipeline.
Candidate Experience & Assessment
- Screen, interview, and assess candidates for sales aptitude, communication skills, coachability, and cultural fit.
- Coordinate interview panels with sales hiring managers and coach them on structured interviewing and consistent evaluation.
- Deliver a high-touch candidate experience from first outreach through offer and onboarding handoff.
Employer Branding & Programs
- Represent and promote Levata's employer brand on campus and within early-career talent communities.
- Partner with Marketing and HR to develop recruitment materials, social content, and campus event collateral tailored to early-career sales audiences.
- Support the design and administration of internship and new-grad sales development programs.
Broader Levata Recruitment
- Own full-cycle recruitment for other specified open roles across Levata's business, outside of the campus and early-career sales program.
- Partner with hiring managers across functions to define role requirements, build sourcing strategies, and manage requisitions from intake to offer.
- Balance recruiting capacity across the campus/early-career program and general hiring needs, flagging capacity constraints to the TA Manager as volume shifts.
- Maintain accurate requisition and candidate data in the ATS; provide regular pipeline and hiring reports to TA leadership and business stakeholders.
QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE
- Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- 1+ years of full-cycle recruitment experience, ideally including campus/early-career or sales recruiting.
- Experience building and managing relationships with university career centers and student organizations.
- Comfortable recruiting across multiple functions and role types, not just sales, and re-prioritizing as hiring needs shift.
- Familiarity with sales roles and sales competencies preferred.
- Proficiency with an ATS (Jobvite preferred) and LinkedIn Recruiter/LinkedIn Hiring Assistant.
- Comfortable presenting to groups and representing Levata at in-person campus events.
- Travel requirement 30% including campus engagement.

Recruitment Manager Jobs in Chicago: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a recruitment manager job in Chicago?
Focus your search on the sectors that drive Chicago hiring: financial services and fintech in the Loop, healthcare systems on the Near North Side and Streeterville, and technology firms in Fulton Market and River North. Candidates with experience managing full-cycle recruiting for high-volume roles or building talent pipelines in a competitive professional market stand out. Local network connections through Chicago HR associations also give a meaningful edge.
Which companies hire recruitment managers in Chicago?
Employers hiring recruitment managers in Chicago right now include Elite Dental Partners, CIBC, and Zekelman Industries, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Chicago's mix of Fortune 500 headquarters, regional healthcare networks, and fast-growing technology companies creates consistent demand across both large corporate talent acquisition teams and leaner in-house recruiting operations.
Are there remote recruitment manager jobs in Chicago?
Yes, though remote availability is moderate since many recruitment manager roles involve on-site collaboration with hiring managers and candidates. About 88% of recruitment manager openings tied to Chicago are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, with hybrid schedules most common among corporate talent acquisition roles at technology and professional services firms headquartered downtown.
How can I get a recruitment manager job in Chicago with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path in Chicago is moving up from a recruiting coordinator or talent acquisition specialist role inside a large organization. Chicago's healthcare networks, staffing firms, and corporate headquarters regularly hire coordinators and sourcers who can grow into manager roles. Demonstrating ownership of a full hiring process, even for a small team or department, carries more weight with local employers than credentials alone.
Which industries hire the most recruitment managers in Chicago?
Chicago recruitment manager roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Consulting & Professional Services, and Construction & Real Estate, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Chicago's role as a Midwest financial hub, a major healthcare center, and a growing technology market means these sectors consistently need talent leaders to support both high-volume hiring and specialized professional recruiting.
