Talent Associate (Hybrid)

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.

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.

Requirements

• 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.

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental & vision
• Flexible PTO and sick days
• Team building events
• One Medical, HSA, Talkspace, HealthAdvocate, Teladoc Health
