Recruiters and recruiting firms are defined as individuals or entities hired by nonprofit organizations—such as colleges, universities, schools, districts, museums, libraries, municipalities, government agencies, or healthcare facilities—to post facilities-related job openings.
Please note: Internal HR staff at nonmember institutions or facilities contract firms are not eligible for inclusion on the recruiters list.
