Director, Talent Acquisition

Director Of Talent Acquisition

Wider Circle is a mission-driven healthcare organization working to improve health outcomes for older adults and complex populations by addressing the social, clinical, and community barriers that keep people from getting the care they need. We partner with health plans and local organizations to build trusted relationships with members, help them stay engaged in care, and support healthier lives in communities across the country.

Wider Circle is entering a period of significant growth, and we are looking for a Director of Talent Acquisition to lead our recruiting function as we scale while maintaining quality, culture, and the candidate experience.

This is our first Director-level Talent Acquisition leadership role. You will own recruiting execution across business lines and support functions, lead and develop a growing team of Talent Acquisition Specialists, and strengthen the sourcing strategies, operating rhythms, dashboards, and standards needed to support rapid headcount growth.

This role is both strategic and hands-on. You will be expected to set direction, improve systems, coach recruiters, partner closely with leaders, and raise the bar on how Wider Circle attracts, evaluates, and hires talent.

You will also serve as a steward of our culture. Our "Love, Learn, Grow" ethos is central to who we are, and you will help translate that into compelling candidate stories, sourcing strategies, job postings, and hiring experiences that make people want to join Wider Circle and stay.

You will own recruiting operations and quality, lead day-to-day recruiting execution across all hiring tracks, ensuring a consistent, high-quality process for candidates and hiring managers. You will establish clear expectations, run daily team huddles and weekly pipeline reviews, audit interview quality, drive scorecard completion, and coach the team toward consistent monthly hiring output.

You will own recruiting performance reporting, including time-to-fill, funnel health, conversion rates, source effectiveness, recruiter productivity, and candidate experience. You will establish credible role-specific benchmarks, identify risks early, and ensure the team meets hiring goals without lowering the talent bar.

You will build sustainable pipelines for high-priority roles, especially Community Health Workers and other frontline healthcare or community-based positions. You will map competitive markets, test sourcing channels, build partnerships, and develop strategies that make Wider Circle a more visible and compelling employer of choice.

You will partner with executives, directors, and hiring managers to clarify role requirements, keep job descriptions current, develop compelling candidate pitches, and ensure hiring decisions reflect both business needs and Wider Circle's standards.

You will manage, develop, and hold accountable a team of Talent Acquisition Specialists, with the ability to flex capacity through contract or 1099 recruiters as needed. You will foster a team culture grounded in urgency, ownership, accountability, and care for the candidate experience.

You will create clear handoffs among Talent Acquisition, Learning & Development, IT, Finance, HR, and business leaders so new hires move smoothly from offer acceptance to onboarding readiness.
