Headstart Health is a platform-based healthcare company that connects families seeking Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for autism with independent, BCBA-led local practices and provides administrative and clinical support to those clinicians. They prioritize fast access (days not months), accept commercial and Medicaid insurance (including Tricare), and offer family-focused services (in-home and center-based therapy, parent training, resource center). Headstart also provides resources and operational support for BCBAs and RBTs, enabling clinician-owned practices to remain autonomous while benefiting from centralized administrative, clinical, and career support.

📋 Description

• Own corporate recruiting from role definition and sourcing through assessment, offers, and closing. • Help founders and functional leaders prioritize hiring, evaluate talent, and make strong hiring decisions. • Establish effective interview processes, recruiting tools, and metrics that improve speed, quality, and candidate experience. • Build onboarding, practical policies, and everyday HR processes; become a trusted resource for managers and employees. • Identify when additional recruiting and People capacity is needed, then hire and develop the team.

🎯 Requirements

• A track record of personally sourcing and closing strong corporate talent across functions and seniority levels. • In-house experience at a startup or growing company, with meaningful responsibilities beyond recruiting. • Sound judgment, high emotional intelligence, and the confidence to advise founders and hiring managers. • Strong execution: you move quickly, manage competing priorities, and follow through. • An appetite for building—setting direction, creating useful processes, and doing the work yourself. • Experience at a recruiting or executive-search firm followed by an in-house role is especially relevant.

🏖️ Benefits

• Meaningful ownership: Build the People function and help shape the company’s team and culture. • Direct founder partnership: Work closely with the co-founders on some of the company’s most consequential decisions. • Momentum and room to grow: Join a rapidly expanding business with strong investor backing and significant provider demand. • A mission you can see: Help more clinicians build sustainable practices and more families access autism care. • Competitive compensation & benefits: Compensation packages include competitive cash & equity, with benefits including health insurance reimbursements (medical, dental, and vision) and unlimited PTO.
