Senior Early Talent Recruiter

Grow Therapy is on a mission to serve as the trusted partner for therapists growing their practice, and patients accessing high-quality care. Powered by technology, we are a three-sided marketplace that empowers providers, augments insurance payors, and serves patients. Following the mass increase in depression and anxiety, the need for accessibility is more important than ever. To make our vision for mental healthcare a reality, we’re building a team of entrepreneurs and mission-driven go-getters. Since launching in February 2021, we’ve empowered more than ten thousand therapists and hundreds of thousands of clients across the country and insurance landscape. We’ve raised more than $328Mm in funding, including our Series D, at a $3B valuation from Sequoia Capital, Transformation Capital, TCV, SignalFire, Menlo Ventures, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, and others.

The Opportunity

1 in 4 people need mental health care, and most can't get it. Grow is building what's next, and this role builds the team that builds it. You will be Grow's first early talent hire, owning the function end to end: our first engineering internship cohort in New York, the new grad conversion pipeline that follows it, and a University of Waterloo co-op program. This is not a req load you work. It's a program you design, run, and scale, and as it grows across cohorts, functions, and hubs, so does your ownership. Reporting to the head of Technical Recruiting, you'll write the playbook for how Grow finds, develops, and converts the next generation of talent. People joining now aren't inheriting an idea of great work. They're writing it.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Own Grow's end-to-end early talent strategy and programs, spanning campus recruiting, offer management, candidate engagement, internship delivery, and return offer planning.

• Lead full-cycle recruiting for engineering interns, developing campus strategies, building university partnerships, driving events, and managing the recruiting process from sourcing through offer acceptance.

• Build and scale a year-round University of Waterloo co-op program across multiple academic terms, establishing a sustainable pipeline of top engineering talent.

• Partner with Engineering leadership to design and operate a high-quality internship program, ensuring every intern has meaningful project scope, dedicated mentorship, and strong manager support.

• Drive program strategy and continuous improvement through data, using recruiting funnel health, conversion metrics, intern performance, and return offer outcomes to inform decisions and measure impact.

• Build scalable processes, systems, and playbooks that enable the early talent program to grow while maintaining an exceptional candidate and intern experience.

YOU'LL BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU

• Have 6+ years of recruiting experience with significant ownership of early talent hiring, including leading at least two full campus recruiting cycles from strategy through program execution.

• Have built, scaled, or significantly evolved an internship or co-op program, with experience across recruiting, program operations, intern experience, and evaluation.

• Bring strong program management skills, balancing long-term planning with flawless execution across multiple recruiting cycles, stakeholders, and competing priorities.

• Use data to drive decisions, continuously improving recruiting outcomes, program quality, and operational efficiency through clear metrics and thoughtful analysis.

• Embrace AI and modern recruiting technologies to work more efficiently, improve candidate experience, and scale programs without adding unnecessary complexity.

• Enjoy building from first principles, creating strategy, establishing operating rhythms, and turning ambiguous opportunities into repeatable, high-impact programs.

Use of AI Tools: We use certain AI and automated tools to support recruitment. These tools help our team review applications, organize interviews, detect potential application integrity issues, and maintain interview records; they do not make final hiring decisions.

Application Review: Ashby's AI-Assisted Application Review helps review application materials against role-specific criteria and may flag potential fraud or integrity issues for recruiter review. All advancement decisions are made by our human recruiting team after independent review. See Ashby's AI Bias Audit Report https://trust.ashbyhq.com/item/ai-bias-audit-report.

Interview Recording: We use BrightHire to record interviews, supporting note-taking and consistency across candidates. Learn more https://help.brighthire.ai/en/articles/4484370-brighthire-for-candidates-faq. Interviews are confidential; you may ask your interviewer to stop recording anytime, or opt out in advance https://app.brighthire.ai/candidate-opt-out/kcrUeiitS5Khw5AcWW_jLg. Choosing not to be recorded will not, by itself, affect your candidacy.

AI-Assisted Recruiter Screen: For select roles, BrightHire's AI features may help structure initial recruiter screens and organize interview notes. All responses are reviewed by our recruiting team; no hiring decisions are made by AI alone.

State-specific notices: Depending on your location, you may have additional rights. Illinois: If AI analyzes a video interview, we'll provide notice, explain how it works and what it evaluates, and obtain consent beforehand. New York City: Where required, we'll provide at least 10 business days’ notice before using an automated employment decision tool and explain how to request an alternative process. Maryland: We do not use facial recognition to create facial templates during interviews unless required notice and written consent are obtained.
