The Employer Partnership & Placement Specialist - MA is responsible for employment outcomes for Medical Assisting graduates. Develops employer relationships, generates job leads, and matches graduates to direct-hire opportunities.  This role coordinates the placement process from outreach through hire.

Position will be based out of a Bay Area campus: Concord, Fremont, San Jose, or Hayward. 

Job Description

Are you the kind of person who does not wait for the phone to ring? Good. We should talk. 

Unitek Learning is looking for a highly driven Graduate Placement & Employer Development Specialist to help our Medical Assisting graduates launch their healthcare careers. This is not a sit-back-and-process-paperwork role. This is a build-the-pipeline, open-the-door, make-the-call, land-the-job-order, match-the-graduate, verify-the-hire kind of role. 

In other words, if you have ever worked a recruiting desk, chased job orders, sourced employer partners, filled openings, and felt the sweet satisfaction of making a placement happen, you may have just found your next lane. 

The Opportunity:

You will own employment outcomes for Medical Assisting graduates across assigned Bay Area and/or Sacramento-area campuses. Your job is to build strong employer partnerships with medical offices, clinics, urgent care centers, specialty practices, hospital systems, and other healthcare employers who need talent. You will spend time on campus and in the field. That means calls, emails, texts, in-person visits, networking, follow-up, and more follow-up. The glamorous stuff. The coffee-fueled stuff. The “I know exactly who you should interview” stuff. 

Your Mission, Should You Choose To Accept It:

• Create and grow employer partnerships that lead to real hiring opportunities. 
• Generate job leads and job orders for Medical Assisting graduates. 
• Match graduates to open roles based on employer needs, graduate readiness, and likelihood of hire. 
• Coach graduates on resumes, interviews, job search strategy, and professional follow-up. 
• Move candidates through the hiring process, including resume submittals, interviews, offers, starts, and employment verification.
