Job description

1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but most providers don't accept insurance, making therapy too expensive for most people. Headway’s mission is to fix this by building a new mental healthcare system everyone can access. We started by solving the biggest barrier to care: insurance. The admin work - credentialing, claims, payment reconciliation - is a nightmare. We've automated that.

But we're going further. Over 75,000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software, serving over 1 million patients. We are building the best tools for therapists to run their entire practice, reimagining the experience of finding a therapist, and investing in the platform foundations to enable this at scale. We aren't just a billing layer; we are becoming the platform where care actually happens.

We're a Series D company with $325M+ in funding (a16z, Accel, Spark Capital, etc.), looking for exceptional people to help us achieve this mission. We want your time here to be the most meaningful experience of your career. Join us, and help change mental healthcare for the better.

Headway is hiring Contract Technical Recruiters to help build the engineering teams that will power our next stage of growth.

• Act as a strategic and adaptable partner to hiring managers, quickly refining the approach and/or process as needed to accelerate progress
• Build Olympic-level pipelines through targeted sourcing strategies
• Ensure every candidate follows a consistent, structured, inclusive process that raises teh hiring bar and improves consistency across teams
• Deliver an exceptional candidate experience through every step of the process

You’d be a great fit if you…

• Bring 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in high-growth, tech-enabled environments (in-house, agency, or relevant experience even if you didn't carry the TA title)
• Have a proven ability to learn new domains quickly and efficiently and can immediately begin delivering value when provided with a new focus
• Operate as a strategic and positive partner to your stakeholders, maintaining progress and acting as a true collaborator even in moments of ambiguity
• Can break down complex searches into clear plans, diagnosing challenges and proposing solutions proactively
