Job Description:
ICF's Survey Research Team is growing, and we are hiring
multiple Research Recruiters across the country to support efforts
in recruiting schools, school districts, communities, states, and
national-level organizations to participate in research and
evaluation studies on a variety of public health topics.
If you have a working knowledge of schools and can be persuasive

interactions, we love that combination and want to hear from
you!
School Research Recruiters at ICF need to be articulate and

well-developed active listening skills, and the ability to be both
succinct and persuasive in written and oral communication. As the
School Research Recruiter, you will need to be adept at engaging
others in conversation and interpreting possible objections based
on verbal and non-verbal cues. This role requires resiliency, and
the ability to present effective responses/alternatives in
overcoming respondents' resistance to participation.
These roles are full-time, remote based (work-from-home) from
August 2022 through December 2022. Some roles may extend to mid-May
2023. Successful candidates will be required to attend a multi-day

activities.
* Actively work to fill gaps in scheduling assignments and monitor
logistics for assigned field data collection staff.
* Use a computer to complete an online data collection management
application for each study and complete study assignments and tasks
using Microsoft Office products, such as Word and Excel.
Basic Qualifications:
* Bachelor's degree in behavioral or social sciences, public
health, communications/marketing, or education field.
* At least 2 years of relevant work experience in the field of

research studies preferred. Recruitment, college admissions,
educational administration, teaching, field data collection, fund
raising, public relations, direct sales, and health
education/promotion would be ideal.
* Master's degree preferred.
Professional Skills:
* Strong verbal and written communication skills, well-developed
active listening skills, and the ability to be both succinct and
persuasive in written and oral communication.
* Experience engaging others in conversation and interpreting
possible objections based on verbal and non-verbal cues.
* Ability to think on one's feet to analyze a situation, identify
potential problems, and recommend solutions.
* Detail oriented with well-developed ability to document
assignment outcomes.
* Demonstrated level of professionalism in providing task support,
including ability to exercise good judgment, discretion, tact, and
diplomacy required.
