Who's Hiring
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in targeted case manager jobs.
- Bachelor's degree in social work, psychology, human services, or a related field
- One to two years of case management or direct service experience with a target population
- Knowledge of community resources, referral networks, and service coordination processes
- Proficiency with electronic health records or case management documentation software
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for home and community visits
- Licensure eligibility or active credential such as LSW, LCSW, LPC, or equivalent state license
Tips for Your Targeted Case Manager Job Search
Tailor your resume to funding sources
Many targeted case manager positions are funded by Medicaid, state block grants, or federal programs. Name the specific funding streams you've worked under on your resume, because hiring managers screen for familiarity with those billing and documentation requirements.
List your licensure status precisely
Employers distinguish between licensed, license-eligible, and unlicensed candidates early in screening. State your credential level, the state it's held in, and your expiration date so recruiters don't misread your status and pass you over unnecessarily.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists targeted case manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter openings by population served
Job titles overlap heavily across populations. When searching, add terms like 'adults with SMI,' 'children and families,' or 'SUD' to surface roles that match your direct experience instead of wading through listings outside your specialty.
Prepare for scenario-based interview questions
Interviewers for targeted case manager roles typically present a client vignette and ask how you'd assess needs, coordinate services, and document the encounter. Practice walking through a real case you've managed, keeping HIPAA considerations in mind as you describe it.
Negotiate caseload size, not just pay
Caseload caps vary dramatically across employers and directly affect burnout and documentation quality. Ask hiring managers about average active caseloads and supervisor ratios during the offer stage so you can compare positions on terms that matter day-to-day.
Targeted Case Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most targeted case managers?
The most active employers for targeted case managers right now are Seven Counties Services, Pathways, and Applied Behavioral Advancements, and the most openings are in Kentucky, Florida, and Minnesota, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Nonprofit community mental health centers, Medicaid managed care organizations, and county health departments consistently represent the largest share of open roles.
How many targeted case manager jobs are remote?
About 23% of targeted case manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though the role's community-based nature keeps most positions at least partially in-person. Care coordination roles that focus on telephonic outreach, utilization management, or insurance-based case management tend to have the highest share of fully remote positions.
How do you become a targeted case manager?
Start by earning a bachelor's degree in social work, psychology, counseling, or a closely related human services field. Gain direct experience through internships, AmeriCorps placements, or entry-level case aide roles working with the population you want to serve. Pursue state licensure if your target employers require it, and build familiarity with Medicaid documentation standards, since most funded positions require that knowledge from day one.
Can you get hired as a targeted case manager with little experience?
Yes, many employers will hire candidates with limited paid experience if you can demonstrate relevant field placement, volunteer work, or lived experience with the population served. Frame any practicum hours, crisis line work, or peer support experience in terms of assessment, documentation, and service coordination to show you understand the core functions of the role, even if your hours are few.
What does the targeted case manager interview process look like?
Most employers use a two-stage process: an initial phone screen focused on licensure status, availability, and basic role fit, followed by an in-person or video interview with the direct supervisor and sometimes a clinical lead. Expect scenario questions about managing a client in crisis, handling documentation backlogs, and coordinating across multiple providers. Some agencies add a brief writing sample or ask you to review a mock case file.
Where can I find and apply to targeted case manager jobs?
You can find and apply to targeted case manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your population focus, licensure level, and preferred setting, then apply directly to each listing that fits your experience.
