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.
