Duet•New York, NY

4d•$140,000 - $160,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Duet is hiring its first full-time recruiter to build and run the systems that attract, hire, and support employees as the company grows. This foundational, hands-on role owns end-to-end recruiting across all functions and supports core people operations. The Recruiting Lead reports directly to the CEO and works closely with the COO, Head of Strategy, and other senior leaders. The position offers ownership of recruiting processes, talent and employer branding, and decisions about how the recruiting function expands; it does not initially involve managing a team. Duet is an early-stage company that helps nurse practitioners build and scale independent practices, particularly in underserved communities. The Recruiting Lead will represent Duet at industry and recruiting events, partner with hiring managers and senior leaders, and help shape how the company presents itself to candidates and the broader talent market. The role is hybrid in New York City. The salary range is $140,000–$160,000, plus bonus and equity.
