Inside Sarah’s Role as a Recruitment Specialist
As CorrHealth’s Recruiting Specialist, Sarah partners with hiring managers and directors to fill open and new roles at all of our active sites, including corporate positions. Each day, she strategizes job postings to attract top talent, reviews applications, verifies licensures, and aligns candidates’ experience with CorrHealth’s standards.

Sarah describes the recruitment process as a series of coordinated steps involving consistent communication with both hiring managers and candidates. Staying organized, setting timelines, and ensuring everyone is updated are key to her role. “My hiring managers are essential to keeping our facilities running smoothly, and I’m proud to support them in today’s competitive talent environment,” she shares.
Outside of Work
When Sarah isn’t finding top talent for CorrHealth, she enjoys diving into a good book and has recently rekindled her love for reading. Although she jokes about not being “outdoorsy,” she still finds joy in nature, especially in the fall. For Sarah, a perfect day includes sitting on a cabin porch by a river with a hot cup of coffee, a good book, and her closest friends, what she describes as “cozy nostalgia.”
Sarah Zerfas is not only a key member of our recruiting team but also a true embodiment of CorrHealth’s values. Her commitment to building a strong, compassionate workforce, her attention to detail, and her warm, welcoming approach make her an invaluable asset to our organization.
