Sr. Technical Recruiter

Senior Technical Recruiter

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.

• Use data to diagnose and improve search, quickly refining the approach and/or process as needed to accelerate progress
• Build Olympic-level pipelines through targeted sourcing strategies
• Ensure every search follows a structured, inclusive process that raises the 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

• Bring 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in high-growth, tech-enabled environments (in-house or blended agency)
• Have deep experience hiring engineering roles
• Operate as a business partner, using market insights and data to guide hiring managers toward better, faster decisions

• Care about operational excellence with a focus on constantly improving your workflow and reducing friction for candidates and stakeholders
• Communicate clearly and with presence, whether aligning with hiring managers or guiding candidates through the process
