Senior IT Recruiter & Consultant Relations Manager

Virtelligence is seeking an experienced Senior Recruiter & Consultant Relations Manager to serve in a unique hybrid role spanning recruiting, client support, and consultant relationship management. This is not a traditional recruiter-only position. We are looking for someone who can personally recruit and close strong IT talent while also serving as a professional point of contact for our clients, consultants, sales team, and global recruiting organization.
The ideal candidate comes from an IT staffing or consulting environment and is comfortable wearing multiple hats. You should be equally comfortable recruiting a senior technology consultant, participating in a client call, coordinating with an offshore recruiting team, and calling an active consultant to make sure an assignment is going well.
Key Responsibilities
Recruiting & Talent Acquisition — 40%
Personally recruit for priority, senior-level, and hard-to-fill U.S. technology positions.
Source, screen, qualify, and engage candidates across IT consulting and professional services.
Conduct candidate conversations regarding experience, availability, compensation/rates, career interests, and client expectations.
Evaluate candidate communication, professionalism, and overall client readiness.
Partner closely with Virtelligence's global recruiting team to move qualified candidates efficiently through the recruiting process.
Coordinate interviews, candidate follow-up, offers, and successful starts.
Maintain accurate candidate, requisition, interview, and placement activity within the ATS.
Help ensure candidates submitted to clients closely match stated requirements.
Client & Sales Support — 30%
Participate in selected client and prospect meetings alongside company leadership and account executives.
Listen carefully to client staffing and consulting requirements and translate them into clear recruiting actions.
Document requirements, decisions, responsibilities, and next steps.
Coordinate new requirements with recruiting and delivery teams.
Help schedule and coordinate candidate interviews and follow-up activities.
Track commitments and ensure important client-related actions do not fall through the cracks.
Communicate professionally with clients when follow-up or coordination is required.
Support account teams in creating a responsive, high-quality client experience.
This position does not carry a traditional sales quota. Its purpose is to help sales and leadership convert client conversations into successful execution.
Consultant Relations & Operations — 30%
Serve as a visible U.S.-based relationship contact for Virtelligence consultants.
Welcome newly placed consultants and help create a positive experience before and during their first week.
Confirm successful consultant starts and conduct regular relationship check-ins.
Identify consultant concerns, assignment issues, or potential client problems early and coordinate appropriate resolution.
Monitor upcoming assignment end dates and support extension and redeployment activities.
Maintain relationships with strong consultants between and across assignments when appropriate.
Coordinate the relationship side of consultant offboarding.
Work closely with Virtelligence's existing onboarding and operations teams, which handle employment documentation, background checks, client paperwork, timesheets, and other administrative processes.
Maintain accurate and timely consultant activity and follow-up records in company systems.
What We're Looking For
5+ years of experience in IT recruiting, staffing, consulting, talent acquisition, or a closely related environment.
Demonstrated success personally recruiting and placing U.S.-based IT professionals.
Experience working within an IT staffing, technology consulting, or professional services organization strongly preferred.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Strong candidate interviewing, relationship-building, and compensation/rate negotiation skills.
Comfortable participating in professional client meetings with senior managers and executives.
Strong follow-through and organizational discipline.
Experience working with ATS and CRM platforms.
Ability to manage multiple priorities without losing accountability for details.
Comfortable collaborating with distributed and offshore recruiting and operations teams.
A relationship-oriented mindset with the ability to build trust with candidates, consultants, clients, and internal teams.
Preferred Experience
Experience recruiting or supporting consultants within one or more of the following areas is helpful:
Epic and EHR/EMR
ServiceNow
Workday
ERP and enterprise applications
Cloud, data, AI, and cybersecurity
Data-Center Engineers (MEP, Commissioning and BMS/BAS/EPMS Engineers)
IT professional services and managed services
Who Will Succeed in This Role
This role is particularly well suited for someone who has worked in a small or midsized IT staffing/ consulting company and understands that delivering a great experience does not stop when a candidate accepts an offer. You may have spent much of your career recruiting, but you also enjoy working with clients, supporting consultants after placement, solving problems, and making sure commitments actually get completed.
You are hands-on, responsive, organized, relationship-oriented, and comfortable taking ownership.
If your approach is, "I will find the right person, help get them successfully placed, support the client, and stay connected to the consultant throughout the assignment," this role may be an excellent fit.
In addition to base compensation, this position includes a performance-based incentive tied to measurable outcomes across three areas:
Successful recruiting and consultant starts
Client and sales follow-through
Consultant success and operational execution
Our teams support healthcare and enterprise organizations across technologies including Epic, ServiceNow, Workday, cloud, data and AI, cybersecurity, Data-Center Engineers and other enterprise platforms. We combine U.S.-based client and consultant relationships with a global delivery and recruiting organization to provide clients with flexible access to specialized technology talent.
