Founding Recruiter

Silna Health•New York, NY

About The Position

About Silna Healthcare is obsessed with optimizing a broken system. We're making sure it never breaks. Silna Health attacks the root cause of denied claims: the fragmented, incompatible systems that govern prior authorizations, eligibility verification, and benefit checks, turning workflows that used to take days into decisions made in minutes, before care is ever delivered. We work across behavioral health, physical health, ambulatory care, and post-acute care, where administrative failure doesn't just cost money; it can delay or deny patient access entirely. We're backed by Accel and Bain Capital Ventures, and we're building fast. The Role We’re hiring our first in-house Recruiter to own hiring across engineering, go-to-market, and operations. You’ll be both a strategic partner and a hands-on sourcer, building pipelines, closing top talent, and shaping the processes that will scale our team from 30 to 50+ people. In this role, you’ll shape our talent narrative, design scalable processes, and build a brand that consistently attracts top performers.
