Full Job Description
We9re hiring an experienced Technical Recruiting Lead to help build the team that will define the future of Layer Health.

Recruiting is one of the most important functions at Layer Health. Every hire directly influences our ability to execute on our mission and scale our impact.

You9ll have meaningful ownership, direct access to company leadership, and the opportunity to help build a world-class team tackling one of healthcare9s biggest challenges. The combination of mission, team quality, and company stage makes this a rare opportunity for a recruiter who wants to do their best work.

The Opportunity
  • You will own some of the most important hires in the company-from engineers and machine learning talent to finance, operations, and product managers who will help shape Layer9s future.
  • You won9t wait for requisitions to open. You9ll build relationships early, cultivate talent communities, and know who9s exceptional before the market does.
  • You9ll sit shoulder-to-shoulder with hiring managers, learning how they think, understanding what 49great49 looks like, and helping them separate signal from noise.
  • You9ll become a trusted storyteller for Layer Health-bringing our mission, team, and vision to life for candidates who have countless opportunities competing for their attention.
  • You9ll treat sourcing like a craft. Whether it9s a clever Boolean string, a niche community, a warm introduction, or a completely unconventional path, you9ll find talent where others aren9t looking.
  • You9ll use data to inform decisions, but you9ll trust your instincts too. You9ll constantly refine what9s working, improve hiring velocity, and elevate hiring quality.
  • You9ll help build the recruiting function, not just operate within it. Processes, systems, candidate experience, employer brand-your fingerprints will be everywhere.
  • You9ll have a seat at the table. Leadership will look to you for perspective on talent markets, hiring strategy, and how to build an exceptional organization.
Your Background:
  • You have 8+ years of experience recruiting technical talent and a track record of helping high-growth companies scale.
  • You get genuine satisfaction from finding the person nobody else found. Sourcing isn9t a task for you-it9s a puzzle you enjoy solving.
  • You quickly recognize patterns. After a conversation or two, you can tell the difference between a strong candidate and a truly exceptional one.
  • Candidates trust you. People return your calls, respond to your messages, and remember their experience working with you long after a process ends.
  • You are naturally curious. You enjoy understanding how products work, how engineering teams are structured, and what motivates top technical talent.
  • Ambiguity energizes you more than it frustrates you. You don9t need a playbook-you enjoy helping write it.
  • You move with urgency and ownership. When something matters, you make progress rather than waiting for permission.
  • You9re comfortable working inside Greenhouse (or a similar ATS) and understand that great recruiting is equal parts relationship-building, process, and execution.
  • Bonus points if you9ve recruited in healthcare, AI, machine learning, or other highly technical environments where the best talent is difficult to find and even harder to convince.


Expected compensation range for this role is $150,000-200,000 salary. Compensation is dependent on experience and overall fit to our role. Expected compensation ranges for this role may change over time. If your compensation requirement is greater than our posted salary ranges, please still consider applying to our role. We will make a determination as to whether an exception can be made.

If you are excited about this role, we encourage you to apply even if you don9t feel that you meet every single requirement. We9re eager to meet people that believe in our mission and can contribute to our team in a variety of ways. We welcome diverse perspectives, rigorous thinking, and fearlessness in challenging the status quo.

Join us and help us transform healthcare with AI.
