About The Position

At Carrum Health, we are seeking a high-trajectory Lead Technical Recruiter to join as our founding technical recruiting pillar. This is a unique Player-Coach opportunity designed for a results-driven technical recruiter who wants to remain hands-on closing complex roles today, while explicitly scaling into talent leadership tomorrow. As our founding Technical Recruiter, you will step into an environment with a strong foundation but immense room to build, optimize, and scale. Initially, you will hit the ground running to own open tech reqs, while you audit our current infrastructure, minimize the reliance on our RPO partner, and build the definitive playbook for Carrum's technical hiring engine. As you stabilize the pipeline, you will have the opportunity to step into a leadership seat— ideal for someone who is ready to transition from rigorous individual execution to shaping the future of a scaling talent function.

Requirements

6+ years of experience in technical recruiting.
3+ years of experience in a high-growth startup environment where processes had to be built from scratch.
Passion for mentorship, team performance management, and organizational design.
Understanding of the nuances between a Data Engineer and a Data Scientist.
Ability to articulate the value-based care mission with enthusiasm.
Experience as an architect of the talent stack, leveraging AI-driven sourcing and automated workflows.

Nice To Haves

Ready to earn a Head of TA title through proven execution.
Obsessed with Funnel Optimization, living and breathing Interview-to-Offer ratios and Candidate NPS.
Belief that a technical recruiting pipeline should operate like a well-oiled CI/CD process: fast, automated where possible, and thorough enough to catch every "bug" before the offer stage.
Ability to spot the difference between a "check-the-box" coder and a true product innovator.
Ability to sell candidates on long-term societal impact.

Responsibilities

Design and execute the end-to-end technical hiring strategy.
Build the playbook for how Carrum identifies, vets, and closes high-quality technical talent.
Drive full-cycle execution for complex tech roles.
Transition into a leadership role, taking over management, performance tracking, and mentorship for the recruiting and ops team.
Treat the candidate journey like a production pipeline—fast, reliable, and automated where possible.
Maintain a high volume of active candidates while ensuring an elite candidate experience where no one sits in a stage for more than 48 hours.
Utilize advanced sourcing techniques to attract and engage high-quality, diverse technical talent.
Act as a strategic "scout" by mapping AI hubs and donor companies to proactively hunt high-conviction, diverse pipelines of technical talent.
Provide weekly "Funnel Health" reports directly to leadership.
Build rigorous tracking systems that eliminate the "black hole" of recruiting, identifying bottlenecks in conversion and pivoting our technical sourcing strategy in real-time.
Partner directly with technical leadership to proactively evaluate their current team structures and project where they need to grow as we scale.
Use market data and consultative insights to help leadership architect their future technical organizations.
Develop a profound understanding of Carrum’s value-based care model and business goals to effectively pitch our vision and sell high-quality technical talent on our long-term impact.
