Sales Manager - Healthcare Staffing & Recruiting Services
The Role
The company is building its India-based sales team to drive US healthcare staffing revenues and is seeking a Sales Manager who understands the unique complexity of healthcare talent markets: credentialing requirements, regulatory compliance, Joint Commission standards, licensure portability, and the trust dynamics of clinical buyers. This is a player-coach role: you will personally own revenue while designing the process and building the team around you. The right candidate has sold into health systems, hospitals, or physician groups from India, knows how to speak the language of clinical operations, and is ready to build a business, not inherit one.
Key Responsibilities
Sales Execution
• Own a Personal Revenue Number: Carry and achieve individual sales targets from day one. Expected to personally prospect, qualify, pitch, and close net-new healthcare staffing accounts with US clients.
• Full-Cycle Client Acquisition: Manage the complete sales cycle, from outbound prospecting and discovery through proposal development, rate negotiation, contract execution, and first placement activation.
• Healthcare Buyer Relationship Development: Build and grow relationships with Chief Nursing Officers (CNO), Directors of Nursing, Nurse Managers, Talent Acquisition leaders, VP of Operations, Chief Medical Officers, and Procurement stakeholders at US health systems, hospitals, physician groups, payers, and healthcare technology organizations.
• Pipeline & CRM Discipline: Maintain accurate pipeline data with consistent CRM hygiene. Forecast reliably and report conversion metrics to leadership on a regular cadence.
• Compliance & Credentialing Awareness: Understand the basics of healthcare staffing compliance: licensure by state, Joint Commission credentialing standards, background check requirements, and the implications of The Joint Commission (TJC) and JCAHO requirements for temporary clinical placements.
• MSP / VMS Navigation: Navigate Managed Service Provider and Vendor Management System
programs for health system enterprise accounts where applicable.
• Market & Shortage Intelligence: Stay current on US healthcare talent shortage dynamics:
specialty-level demand gaps, CMS reimbursement changes driving hiring decisions, nursing
shortage trends, and travel nurse market rate cycles.
Process & Infrastructure
• Build the Healthcare Sales Playbook: Design and implement a repeatable sales process calibrated for healthcare staffing: ICP definition by facility type and specialty, outreach cadences for clinical and administrative buyers, credentialing-aware messaging, and pipeline stages reflecting healthcare procurement timelines.
• Delivery & Compliance Alignment: Work closely with the healthcare recruiting and credentialing team to ensure sales commitments align with sourcing capability, licensure timelines, and compliance requirements. Own the feedback loop between client expectations and delivery reality.
• Establish KPIs and Reporting: Define performance metrics, conversion benchmarks, and reporting structures for both individual performance and the eventual team.
Team Leadership
• Hire and Develop as the Business Scales: Recruit, onboard, and develop a team of healthcare staffing sales professionals once the process is proven and revenue warrants expansion.
• Hands-On Coaching: Provide active deal support, joint client calls, and performance coaching, leading from the front, not directing from a distance.
• Culture of Compliance and Credibility: Build a team culture that treats healthcare compliance not as a back-office function but as a front-line sales differentiator. Clinical buyers choose partners they trust; trust is built through rigor, not just relationship.
