With 17 years of healthcare and nonprofit recruiting experience, Jessica Schirmer of Rochester recently joined UR Medicine Thompson Health as the organization’s physician recruiter.

Schirmer is a Canandaigua native who most recently worked as the senior recruiter for Rochester Regional Health. She has professional human resources certification and is an adviser to the National Human Resources Association as well as a Pro-ROC (Professional Recruiters of Rochester) board member.

While its medical staff numbers over 800 — including providers with hospital privileges — Thompson currently employs nearly 80 physicians.

The hospital and its off-site locations also have more than 80 advanced practice providers. These include nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and certified nurse-midwives.

Schirmer is actively recruiting for these in-demand positions as well.
