Job description

Headway’s mission is a big one – to build a new mental health care system everyone can access. We’ve built technology that helps people find great therapists with the first software-enabled national network of providers accepting insurance.

1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but the majority of providers don’t accept insurance, making therapy too expensive for most people. Headway is building a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access by making it easy for therapists to accept insurance and scale their practice.

Headway was founded in 2019. Since then, we’ve grown into a diverse, national network of over 45,000 mental healthcare providers across all 50 states who run their practice on our software and have served over 1 million patients. We’re a Series D company with over $325m in funding from a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), Accel, GV (formerly Google Ventures), Spark Capital, Thrive Capital, Forerunner Ventures and Health Care Service Corporation.

We want your time here to be the most meaningful experience of your career. Join us, and help change mental healthcare for the better.

Our Talent team is hiring a Contract Technical Recruiter to help scale our exceptional Product team. Serving as a strategic advisor to hiring managers across Product and other technical orgs, you’ll develop inclusive, structured hiring practices to assemble a standout team. We’re in hyper-growth mode and you’ll be instrumental in our trajectory, supporting the mission-critical objective of identifying, engaging, assessing and closing the best talent long-term for Headway’s continued success.

You will:

• Partner with hiring managers across key org functions to scale their respective teams, advising them on search strategy from role intake to close.
• Collaborate with Sourcers & Coordinators, own full-cycle recruiting and use data to make tactical decisions that improve the end-to-end search process.
• Collaborate with Sourcers and Hiring Managers to develop DEI sourcing strategy that aligns with our company objectives.
• Follow a structured hiring process with the goal of reducing bias and making the best hiring decisions.

You will love this role if:

• You have 5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience in high-growth, tech-enabled companies (either in-house or a combination of agency & in-house).
• You function as a business partner to hiring managers, providing data and market intel to drive towards effective decisions together.
• You understand the importance of an inclusive, structured hiring process that will reduce bias in Headway’s decision making.
• You’re a strategic, data-driven thinker, who analyzes sourcing stats and pipeline pass-through rates to optimize the hiring process.
• You’re a scrappy & creative thinker who will find out-of-the-box ways to source top talent.
• You’re comfortable navigating through the inevitable ambiguity of a startup.
• You have relentless drive to improve efficiency for the team and all stakeholders.
• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills.

This role is compensated at an hourly rate dependent upon candidate experience level, starting at: $60.00/hour.

We believe a team's strength is in its people, and we cannot achieve this mission without a team that reflects the diversity of this problem – across race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, national origin, religion, family status, disability, military status, and experience.
