Head of Clinical Recruitment

Rockstar is recruiting for a fast-growing virtual behavioral health company focused on making autism and ADHD evaluations, therapy, and ongoing care more accessible, faster, and less stressful for families. They operate across 40+ states and partner with major commercial insurance carriers to deliver high-quality care through a distributed network of licensed psychologists and therapists.

Every clinician they successfully hire directly increases patient access to care. Every recruiting decision influences how quickly families receive answers and treatment.

As they continue to scale nationally, they are looking for an experienced Clinical Recruitment Manager to build and own the clinical recruiting function.

Compensation: Competitive
Job Type: Full time | 40 hours/week
Shift and Schedule: EST business hours
Work Setting: Remote

About the Role

This is not a traditional clinical recruiting role.

The company is looking for someone who has already built and led clinical recruiting functions within a healthcare startup or other high-growth healthcare organization and understands what it takes to consistently attract, engage, and hire exceptional licensed clinicians in a competitive market.

The person will own the clinical hiring strategy — from workforce planning and sourcing strategy through offer acceptance and onboarding handoff. They will partner directly with leadership to improve hiring speed, strengthen candidate quality, and build recruiting systems that scale.

If the candidate has successfully recruited psychologists, therapists, or other licensed behavioral health professionals, enjoys solving difficult hiring challenges, and thrives in environments where they can build rather than simply maintain recruiting processes, the company would love to meet them.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Sourcing & Market Intelligence

• Source clinicians through LinkedIn, Indeed, licensing boards, professional associations, referral networks, conferences, niche communities, university alumni networks, and targeted outreach
• Develop market intelligence around clinician supply, compensation trends, geographic availability, cross-state licensure policies and compacts (e.g., PsyPact, Counseling Compact), and competitor hiring activity
• Recommend hiring strategies based on labor market conditions and business priorities
• Identify expansion opportunities and talent-rich markets to support company growth

Hiring Partnership

• Partner closely with founders, operations, and clinical leadership to understand workforce planning, provider capacity, and hiring priorities
• Conduct intake meetings that clarify role requirements and hiring expectations
• Advise leadership on recruiting strategy, compensation competitiveness, interview process improvements, and hiring timelines
• Act as a trusted recruiting partner rather than an order taker

Candidate Experience

• Deliver an exceptional candidate experience from first outreach through offer acceptance
• Conduct thoughtful recruiter screens assessing clinical experience, licensure, telehealth readiness, state coverage, communication style, and mission alignment
• Maintain consistent communication with candidates throughout the hiring process
• Protect and strengthen the company's employer brand

Recruiting Operations

• Build scalable recruiting workflows, playbooks, interview guides, and documentation
• Maintain accurate candidate records within the ATS (e.g., JazzHR)
• Track recruiting performance through dashboards and reporting
• Continuously improve recruiting processes to reduce time-to-fill while maintaining hiring quality

Analytics & Continuous Improvement

• Own recruiting metrics including: time-to-fill, pipeline health, source effectiveness, interview-to-offer conversion, offer acceptance rate, hiring manager satisfaction, candidate experience, and clinician retention trends
• Identify bottlenecks and implement improvements that increase hiring quality, recruiting efficiency, and scalability

What We're Looking For (Must-Have)

• 5+ years of full-cycle healthcare recruiting experience
• 2+ years leading or owning a clinical recruiting function
• Must have done high volume recruitment — sourcing at least 15+ candidates a month
• Demonstrated success recruiting licensed behavioral health clinicians, including psychologists and therapists
• Experience working in a startup or other fast-growing healthcare organization where recruiting processes were built or significantly improved
• Strong passive sourcing skills using multiple channels beyond job boards
• Deep understanding of behavioral health licensing, telehealth recruiting, and multi-state hiring considerations
• Experience partnering directly with executive leadership and hiring managers
• Excellent interviewing, relationship-building, and stakeholder management skills
• Strong analytical skills with experience using recruiting metrics to improve recruiting performance
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Preferred

• Experience recruiting for virtual-first or telehealth organizations
• Experience hiring Clinical Psychologists (PhD/PsyD)
• Familiarity with PSYPACT and multi-state behavioral health licensing
• Experience scaling recruiting during periods of rapid organizational growth
• Experience implementing ATS workflows or recruiting process improvements
• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, Psychology, Healthcare Administration, or a related field

• Direct ownership of a mission-critical business function
