Founding Recruiter

Roger Healthcare•San Francisco, CA

19h

About The Position

Roger is an AI platform that frees home health clinicians from paperwork, allowing them to focus on delivering life-changing care to elderly patients in their homes. Backed by leading investors like SignalFire, Roger has powered millions of visits and is deployed to thousands of clinicians. The team built now will define Roger's trajectory, and this role exists for a Founding Recruiter to take full ownership of how the company finds, attracts, and closes exceptional talent to accelerate its mission. This is not a reactive "fill roles as they come" position; instead, the recruiter will partner directly with founders to transform ambitious hiring goals into a repeatable, high-signal hiring engine, defining who is hired, how they are hired, and how the company presents itself to the talent market. This is a founding role with significant impact, ownership, and expectations. As Roger scales, there will be opportunities to build and lead a recruiting team, own the employer brand, and grow into a strategic People leader with a seat at the table.
