About Stepful:

 

Stepful is a workforce platform redefining how America's largest health systems build, train, and retain their talent. Since our founding in 2021, Stepful’s trained over 32,000 practice-ready healthcare workers.

Layering onto our successful direct-to-consumer training, Stepful partners with leading healthcare institutions to address the growing national shortage of healthcare workers. We’re improving access to quality healthcare for everyone, everywhere, and improving access to healthcare career ladders for those who need them most.

Our students form the talent pipelines for major employers such as NY-Presbyterian, Mt. Sinai, HCA, Providence, CVS, and Walgreens. We have partnerships with half of the top 10 health systems in the US and are in process with many more.

Stepful is backed by Y Combinator, Reach Capital, and AlleyCorp, with a recent $55M Series C led by Oak HC/FT. We were named the #1 EdTech company in the U.S. by TIME for 2025.

 

Our values:

 

We credit much of our success to our exceptional team. We’re looking for mission-driven builders who thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, and embody our four core values:

• Care first: We do whatever it takes for our students to succeed.

• Learn quickly: We test, learn with data, and iterate.

• Build together: We win when we rely on each other.

• Own it: We show up, take initiative, and show pride.

 

The opportunity:

 

Stepful is scaling! To address our ambitious hiring needs, we’re adding a Business Recruiter to our Talent Acquisition team to support hiring across our G&A, GTM, Growth, Learning and Operations teams. You’ll play a critical role in helping to scale Stepful’s non-technical teams via full-cycle recruiting, management of structured and equitable hiring processes, and delivery of both a memorable and positive candidate experience.

 

This role will report into and partner with the Business Recruiting Lead. You will leverage existing recruiting infrastructure to independently manage your own portfolio of searches while continuously keeping an eye on ways to automate and improve the efficiency of our processes.

 

This opportunity is best suited for someone with a foundation of both agency and in-house recruiting experience who is seeking to develop their career within a fast-paced, mission-driven startup setting.

• Hiring Manager Partnership

  • Partner closely with stakeholders across the business to understand their talent needs, define role requirements, build structured interview processes and develop recruitment strategies that drive exceptional hiring decisions

• Strategic Support

  • Tap into existing systems and best practices while continuously identifying ways to improve tools, workflows, and the candidate experience

 

What you’ll bring:

 

• At least 3 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally with a blend of agency and startup experience

• Experience partnering with stakeholders to close a variety of roles across departments and levels

• Exceptional sourcing skills with a track record of identifying and engaging talent through both creative methods and automated, AI-powered tooling

• Strong communication skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment

• Attention to both detail and process optimization with a commitment to a great candidate experience and high-quality hiring

Interview Process:
