Silna Health is hiring a Founding Recruiter in New York City, NY, US. On-site.

About Silna Health

Silna Health provides a care readiness platform that handles prior authorizations, benefit checks, and insurance monitoring for healthcare providers, with the goal of ensuring patients are cleared for care before it is delivered. The platform uses AI to manage the prior authorization process, including tracking upcoming authorizations, weekly reminders, submissions, and follow-ups, and it checks specialty-specific benefits such as coverage, accumulations, and authorization requirements. It serves behavioral health, physical health, ambulatory care, and post-acute care.

Founding Recruiter job description

About Silna

Healthcare is obsessed with optimizing a broken system. We're making sure it never breaks.

Silna Health attacks the root cause of denied claims: the fragmented, incompatible systems that govern prior authorizations, eligibility verification, and benefit checks, turning workflows that used to take days into decisions made in minutes, before care is ever delivered.

We work across behavioral health, physical health, ambulatory care, and post-acute care, where administrative failure doesn't just cost money; it can delay or deny patient access entirely. We're backed by Accel and Bain Capital Ventures, and we're building fast.

The Role

We’re hiring our first in-house Recruiter to own hiring across engineering, go-to-market, and operations. You’ll be both a strategic partner and a hands-on sourcer, building pipelines, closing top talent, and shaping the processes that will scale our team from 30 to 50+ people. In this role, you’ll shape our talent narrative, design scalable processes, and build a brand that consistently attracts top performers.
