About Luminary Hospice:
At Luminary Hospice, we are a mission-driven organization that empowers our team members to shape our culture in order to allow them to provide the highest quality support to patients and families throughout their entire end-of-life journey.
Our mission is to deliver personalized care that radiates compassion and preserves dignity for all that we are honored to serve on their end-of-life journey. We are centered on caring for the whole person – with expert medical care, pain management as well as emotional and spiritual support along with resources, information, and emotional support for families and caregivers.
About the role:
The Leadership Talent Acquisition Partner owns full-cycle leadership recruitment across a broad and business-critical mix of roles: agency leadership, clinical and support team roles, along with Hospice Care Consultants (our sales team). This role partners closely with the VP of Talent, regional leadership, and agency operators to build proactive pipelines, reduce time-to-fill across, and ensure every agency has the leadership, clinical capacity, and sales coverage needed to sustain quality patient care and support continued growth.
Job Responsibilities:
Leadership Recruitment
- Manage full-cycle recruitment for agency leadership roles
- Partner with the VP of Talent and regional/agency leadership to understand staffing needs, org design, and succession priorities as the agency count grows.
- Build and maintain proactive, hospice-specific leadership pipelines and talent maps ahead of need, rather than reacting solely to open requisitions.
- Support new-market and de novo agency launches by building leadership pipelines ahead of agency openings.
Hospice Care Consultant (Sales) Recruitment
- Own full-cycle recruitment for Hospice Care Consultant roles — the community- and referral-facing sales team responsible for census growth.
- Partner with sales leadership to define ideal candidate profiles, territory needs, and ramp expectations for a healthcare sales role.
- Build consistent sourcing channels for healthcare/medical sales talent (e.g., pharma, DME, home health, senior living sales backgrounds) across all four states.
Cross-Functional
- Source passive candidates through targeted outreach, industry networks, hospice/home health associations, LinkedIn Recruiter, and referral generation.
- Screen, assess, and present qualified candidates across all three talent groups, evaluating competency, licensure/credentials where applicable, and cultural fit with Luminary Hospice's mission and values.
- Manage the interview process end-to-end: scheduling, structured interview guides, debriefs, reference checks, and offer strategy in partnership with hiring leaders.
- Own and report key recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, pipeline health, source of hire, offer acceptance rate) by talent group to the VP of Talent.
- Serve as a market expert on hospice talent trends and compensation benchmarks — leadership, clinical, and sales — across the four-state footprint.
- Coordinate closely with credentialing, compliance, and onboarding teams to ensure smooth, compliant transitions for incoming hires (state licensure requirements vary by state).
- Champion an outstanding candidate experience and represent Luminary Hospice's employer brand throughout the hiring process.
- Travel to agencies and industry events across Indiana, Ohio, Texas, and Missouri as needed for on-site interviews, hiring events, and relationship-building.
Job Qualifications:
- 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience across a mix of leadership, clinical, and/or sales roles.
- Experience recruiting within hospice and have a network of hospice leadership.
- Comfort recruiting across distinct hiring profiles simultaneously — executive-level leadership, licensed clinical staff, and quota-carrying sales talent — and tailoring sourcing/assessment approach to each.
- Proven ability to source and close passive candidates in a competitive healthcare labor market.
- Strong business acumen and comfort acting as a talent advisor to operating and sales leaders, not just an order-taker.
- Excellent communication, organization, and stakeholder management skills; comfortable working across multiple states and time zones.
- Proficiency with an ATS (Greenhouse) and LinkedIn Recruiter or similar sourcing tools.
- Ability to travel across Indiana, Ohio, Texas, and Missouri and any added markets.

Talent Acquisition Associate Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a talent acquisition associate in Tennessee?
Most Tennessee employers require a bachelor's degree in human resources, business, or a related field as the baseline entry point. Tennessee does not issue a state license for talent acquisition roles, so the path is credential-driven rather than regulatory. Earning a nationally recognized credential such as the SHRM-CP or PHR strengthens a candidacy considerably, and Tennessee SHRM chapters in Nashville and Memphis offer local study groups and networking to help candidates prepare.
Which companies hire talent acquisition associates in Tennessee?
Companies currently hiring talent acquisition associates in Tennessee include AmSurg, Amrize, and GEODIS, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Tennessee's concentration of large healthcare networks, automotive manufacturers, and distribution centers means talent acquisition teams here tend to run high-volume recruiting operations with room for associates at multiple experience levels.
Which Tennessee cities have the most talent acquisition associate jobs?
Nashville, Memphis, and Brentwood hold the greatest concentration of talent acquisition associate openings in Tennessee. Nashville leads because of its dense cluster of healthcare headquarters, corporate offices, and rapidly expanding tech and finance employers, while Memphis is driven by logistics and supply chain giants, and Knoxville draws recruiting activity from the University of Tennessee system and Oak Ridge-area research and government contractors.
Are there remote talent acquisition associate jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, and more than most fields, since talent acquisition work is largely phone and computer-based and translates well to distributed teams. About 78% of talent acquisition associate openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting broader industry flexibility. Sourcing, screening, and early-stage coordination roles are the most likely to be fully remote, while onboarding support and campus recruiting roles tend to require a local presence.
How can I get hired as a talent acquisition associate in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an HR coordinator or recruiting coordinator role at a large Tennessee employer, which functions as a direct pipeline into talent acquisition. HCA Healthcare, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and FedEx all run structured HR development programs and frequently hire new graduates into coordinator roles that sit alongside TA teams. Completing the SHRM-CP or gaining hands-on experience through a university HR internship at institutions like the University of Tennessee or Belmont University gives candidates a concrete edge over applicants without credentials.
Where can I find and apply to talent acquisition associate jobs in Tennessee?
