About Sailor Health

Sailor Health is building the new care model for aging, addressing one of the fastest-growing and most underserved healthcare segments in America. With over 60 million seniors expected to make up nearly 25% of the population by 2030, we’re entering a period of unprecedented demand for care. Yet, today, millions of older adults remain isolated, underserved, and struggling with mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, loneliness without adequate support.

At Sailor Health, we envision a world where every senior has seamless access to compassionate, effective, and personalized mental health care. Join us on our mission to redefine the golden years, enabling older adults across the nation to live happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.

About the Role

Location: Soho, NYC (Hybrid)

We're hiring our first Talent Associate to support and scale recruiting at Sailor Health.

You will be a dedicated recruiting partner to our hiring managers across the company — keeping our pipeline moving, our candidates well‑cared‑for, and our interview process running smoothly. Your primary focus will be building out our provider partnerships and clinical support teams: the people closest to our patients and the heart of what Sailor delivers. The best version of this person leads sourcing and interviewing for our clinical and provider-facing functions and hires the next generation of Sailor recruiters.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Be the recruiting horsepower behind our provider and clinical teams: Serve as the dedicated recruiting support for hiring managers across provider partnerships and clinical support — briefing them before interviews, debriefing after, keeping them calibrated, and making sure they're never blocked on talent.
• Own the provider and clinical support hiring pipeline: Source, screen, and advance candidates for our provider partnerships and clinical support teams. Understand these roles deeply enough to assess fit and sell Sailor's mission to candidates.
• Run interviews end-to-end: Own interview scheduling, candidate communication, and day‑of coordination across all active roles. Be the face of Sailor's candidate experience from first touch to offer.
• Grow into full-cycle recruiting and team building: Over time, take full ownership of searches independently and eventually hire and develop other recruiters focused on our clinical and provider-facing functions.
• Contribute to talent infrastructure: Help build the systems, templates, and processes that make Sailor's recruiting function world-class as we scale.

What We’re Looking For

This is a high-ownership and impact-driven role for someone earlier in their career who wants to grow fast. You've done recruiting before and you're ready to go deeper.

• 2–5 years of recruiting experience. You've worked exclusively in talent or recruiting roles — agency, in-house, or both. Healthcare, clinical, or startup experience a strong plus.
• Hiring manager whisperer. You know how to support busy stakeholders — keeping them briefed, accountable, and bought in without creating extra work for them.
• Process-oriented. You keep the trains running. Candidates are responded to promptly, ATS data is accurate, and nothing slips.
• Strong communicator. You can represent Sailor well to candidates and prep hiring managers without a script.
• Eager to grow. You want to own searches and eventually build out a team.
• AI operator. You use tools like Claude and modern recruiting tech to move faster and do more with less.
• Takes work personally. Pride in the candidate experience; cares about getting the right people into the building.

Our Offer to You

• Competitive salary and founding member-level equity
• Comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental & vision
• Flexible PTO and sick days
• Team building events
• One Medical, HSA, Talkspace, HealthAdvocate, Teladoc Health

Compensation Range: $80K - $100K
