- Alpaca Health enables clinicians to become entrepreneurs, starting in autism care.
- We help clinicians launch and scale their own clinics by providing AI-powered software, payer contracting, and full back-office infrastructure. Our goal is simple: shift power in healthcare away from large consolidated entities and back to clinicians.
- We've raised over $14M in funding from early-stage investors like Core Innovation Capital, Adverb Ventures, and South Park Commons, and are building for long-term category leadership. More importantly, we're serving hundreds of patients, while growing 30% MoM.
- This role is full-time. We’re looking for candidates based in NYC or open to relocating who are open to 5 days a week in the office.
- As Founding Recruiter, you'll be responsible for helping build the team that builds Alpaca. You'll recruit across every function in the company: software engineering, product, operations, provider growth, marketing, customer success, and clinical leadership. You'll own the entire hiring process while developing creative, scalable ways to identify and attract exceptional talent.
- This is not a recruiting coordinator role. This is not a role where you'll inherit a mature recruiting function.
- You'll help design how hiring works at Alpaca from the ground up.
- The people you bring into the company will directly shape our culture, velocity, and ability to achieve our mission.
- We don't believe the best candidates are always actively applying.
- You'll develop creative ways to find and engage talent, including community-building, referral systems, outbound sourcing campaigns, events, content, partnerships, and AI-powered recruiting workflows.
- You should constantly be asking:
- "How do we find talent that nobody else is talking to?"
- Build systems, processes, and automations that allow Alpaca to move faster than larger companies.
- This includes:
- Candidate sourcing workflows
- Outreach sequences
- Interview scorecards
- Hiring manager training
- ATS management
- Pipeline reporting
- Offer and closing processes
- Help leaders identify what great looks like.
- Challenge assumptions.
- Improve interview quality.
- Raise the hiring bar across the company.
- You'll be expected to become a trusted thought partner rather than simply filling roles.
- Great recruiting is part sales, part storytelling.
- You'll help candidates understand why joining Alpaca is a career-defining opportunity and communicate our mission, culture, and vision in a compelling way.
- As the company scales, you'll help determine what recruiting resources we need, what specialization makes sense, and eventually help hire future recruiting team members.
- You have experience hiring across a variety of disciplines, ideally including some combination of:
- Software Engineering
- Product
- Operations
- Sales
- Marketing
- Customer Success
- Healthcare or Clinical roles
- You're excited by variety and can quickly learn new talent markets.
- You don't rely on inbound applications.
- You know how to find people through creative sourcing, referrals, communities, events, research, and personalized outreach.
- You enjoy the puzzle of finding candidates others miss.
- You thrive in environments with ambiguity.
- You don't wait for someone to hand you a process.
- You identify problems, propose solutions, and execute.
- You enjoy building things from scratch.
- You actively use AI to improve sourcing, outreach, research, screening, scheduling, and recruiting operations.
- You constantly look for ways to automate repetitive work and spend more time building relationships with candidates.
- You understand that recruiting isn't just identifying talent.
- It's helping great people make great decisions.
- You can build trust, understand motivations, navigate objections, and create excitement around opportunities.
- You believe that a handful of exceptional hires can change the trajectory of a company.
- You have strong judgment and high standards, and you're willing to work hard to find the right person rather than settling for the available one.
