Role
Who you are
- The role calls for someone who can operate independently, make sound hiring recommendations with minimal oversight, and drive momentum while maintaining a high-quality bar
- The ideal candidate is equally comfortable sourcing niche talent and advising executives on hiring strategy, with a focus on autonomy, judgment, and meaningful impact
- If you love solving hard problems that make people’s lives easier, come build with us
- 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting, preferably in high-growth startups
- You move fast without sacrificing quality, allowing speed and rigor coexist
- You have strong pattern recognition for culture fit and mission-driven candidates
- Proven success managing 5+ concurrent requisitions as solo or small-team recruiter
- Experience recruiting across multiple functions and levels, including senior/executive hires
- Strong stakeholder management with track record of trusted advisor relationships
- Proficiency with ATS platforms (Lever preferred) and LinkedIn Recruiter
- Experience tracking recruiting metrics and using data to inform decision-making
What the job involves
- We’re seeking a Senior Recruiter to own our talent acquisition function as the sole TA professional. This person will need to hit the ground running, manage a busy slate of open roles, and build trusted partnerships across teams and departments
- This is not a purely transactional recruiting role. We’re looking for a strategic partner who can manage senior and specialized searches, build pipelines in hard-to-fill areas, and adapt to evolving hiring needs in a growing company
- Recruit across all departments and seniority levels, from operational roles to executive placements
- Serve as primary talent partner to department heads across Product, Engineering, Clinical, Actuarial, GTM, Operations, Finance, Legal, and executive leadership
- Maintain <60 day average time-to-hire while upholding quality standards
- Partner with hiring managers on strategy, candidate evaluation, and market insights
- Provide market intelligence on talent availability, compensation trends, and competitive landscape
- Own vendor relationships: LinkedIn Recruiter, Lever ATS, recruitment agency partnerships
- Influence hiring strategy and workforce planning alongside People and Finance teams
- Continuously optimize recruiting processes and candidate experience
- Track and report on key recruiting metrics: time-to-hire, time-to-fill, source of hire, pipeline health, offer acceptance rates, and conversion metrics
- Provide regular reporting to leadership on recruiting performance and trends
Our take
Health insurance benefits are essential for employers to remain competitive. But it can be difficult for small businesses to offer high-quality benefits at a reasonable rate, and without paying for things they don't need. Sana Benefits provides self-financed health insurance benefit plans which allow small businesses to pick and choose the services that they offer.
The company aims to provide options that are more affordable to small businesses than the insurance giants of the US. For example, Sana touts partnerships with Meditech startups such as Beam for dental coverage and Calm for mental wellness, and has intelligently partnered with small medical businesses and insurance startups.
Following investment from some top names in insurtech, the company has pursued expansion into new states and is set to be an industry leader. The economic situation caused a round of layoffs early in 2023, but Sana Benefits has remained positive - stating that by "re-orienting", it will be able to deliver on its mission well into the future.
