Recruiter (Clinical Talent)

High-Volume Recruiter (Contract-to-Hire) | Remote

The Mission

At Daybreak Health, we're building the infrastructure to get every young person the mental health support they need-and we need someone who can help us scale our clinical team fast.

This isn't your typical "we're looking for a recruiter" post. This is for someone who gets energized by the grind of high-volume hiring, who knows that sourcing 25-35+ clinicians a month isn't a quota-it's a challenge worth showing up for.

The Role

This is a 3-6 month contract at 40 hours/week, with the strong potential to convert to full-time.

Your mission? Build our clinical hiring machine. You'll own the entire pipeline: sourcing candidates like it's your job (because it is), reviewing applications at scale, conducting interviews, and closing offers. Fast.

This isn't a role where you're only working a passive pipeline. You're actively hunting, reaching out, and moving candidates through the process with urgency-because every therapist you hire means more students get help.

What Your Days Look Like

• Aggressive sourcing: LinkedIn, job boards, clinical networks, professional associations-wherever great clinicians hang out, you'll find them
• High-volume app review: Quickly screening and evaluating applications to spot top talent in a sea of resumes
• Pipeline management: Keeping a healthy pipeline flowing so we're never waiting around for candidates
• Interview coordination: Scheduling and running clinical interviews, keeping momentum high
• Process optimization: Finding bottlenecks and fixing them-because speed matters, but quality is always the most important thing
• Metrics tracking: You know your numbers cold and adjust your strategy based on what's working

You'll Thrive Here If...

• You've done this before-ideally in a recruiting agency, healthcare staffing firm, or another high-volume environment where 25+ hires a month is a regular occurrence.
• You move fast without breaking things-you know how to review 100's applications and spot the gems
• You've recruited clinicians or licensed professionals-bonus points if you know the difference between an LCSW and an LMFT
• You're a pipeline ninja-sourcing is second nature, and you always have candidates ready to go
• You love the hunt-there's something about finding the perfect candidate that just hits different for you
• You're metrics-driven-you track what works, double down on it, and pivot when something doesn't
• You can juggle-multiple roles, hiring managers, deadlines? No problem
• The mission matters-you're genuinely excited about improving youth mental health access

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years in high-volume recruiting (agencies, healthcare staffing, or fast-growth startups)
• Experience hiring clinicians, healthcare pros, or licensed professionals
• Proven ability to hit aggressive hiring targets month after month
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment
• Strong organizational skills
• Adaptable mindset for startup life where priorities shift

Nice-to-Haves

• Digital health, telehealth, or healthcare recruiting experience
• Familiarity with ATS systems and hiring best practices
• Experience with recruiting analytics tools
• Basic HRIS knowledge
• Located or able to work in PST timezone

Why Daybreak?

• The mission is real. Every clinician you hire directly expands mental health access for students who need it. That's not marketing speak-that's literally what happens.
• Fully remote. Work from anywhere in the U.S.
• Competitive pay with potential equity upon full-time conversion.
• Path to full-time. If all goes well during contracting, we'd be excited to bring you on permanently with full benefits (medical, dental, vision, unlimited PTO with required mental health days).
• Startup energy. Fast-paced, execution-focused, no bureaucracy. If you're someone who likes moving fast and seeing immediate impact, you'll fit right in.
• Growth opportunity. Join a rapidly scaling company backed by top investors (Lightspeed, Maven Ventures, Y-Combinator) where your work directly shapes our trajectory.
