About the role

We are looking for an Eligibility Specialist to join an organization in Cleveland, Ohio as part of a long-term contract assignment. This on-site opportunity is well suited for someone who can guide applicants through intake and eligibility review while delivering responsive, thoughtful support in a fast-paced service environment. The role focuses on processing client information accurately, maintaining organized records, and helping ensure timely access to community assistance programs. Candidates with experience in eligibility determination, case management, intake coordination, or customer-facing support will be especially well positioned for success.
Responsibilities: Conduct intake interviews with applicants, gather required documentation, and explain program guidelines in a clear and supportive manner. Review applications for completeness and evaluate submitted information to determine eligibility in accordance with established policies and timelines. Enter, update, and maintain client records across Microsoft Office tools, Salesforce, Excel, and related content management systems with a high degree of accuracy. Manage a steady volume of cases in a production-driven setting while maintaining quality standards and strong attention to detail. Organize and retrieve client files, including work involving document imaging, microfilm, or other recordkeeping systems as needed. Communicate with clients, colleagues, and internal teams to resolve missing information, clarify case details, and move applications toward completion. Support office-based operations during the initial training period and contribute to consistent, dependable service delivery in an on-site environment. Assist with additional program duties tied to ongoing funding needs and operational continuity as assigned.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
