Recruiter
Why you should join us
Tandem is a generational opportunity to rethink how we bring new therapies to market, and our path to doing so is significantly de-risked – we have:
Exponential organic growth: We have product-market fit and are growing rapidly. Tandem supports thousands of new patients every day, is spreading with doctors through word-of-mouth, and works with the largest biopharma companies in the world.
An AI-first business model: Our approach is distinctly enabled by AI, but our business gets stronger (not commoditized) as foundation models improve. We are building durability through two-sided network effects that compound over time.
Top tier investors: With the traction to support conviction in our model, we raised significant funding from top investors (Thrive Capital, General Catalyst, and Accel) to build an exceptional team of engineers and operators.
Our number one priority is scaling to market demand. We are looking for individuals who are high horsepower, high throughput, and hyper resourceful to help us increase capacity and grow. We move fast and need to move faster.
All full-time roles are in person in New York. You can learn more about working with us in the last section of this page.
About the role
We are looking for a high-output Recruiter to help scale our team across engineering, AI, product, GTM, and operations. You will play a key role in driving top-of-funnel activity, managing candidates through process, and closing exceptional hires quickly and thoughtfully. This role requires sharp instincts, operational excellence, and a strong sense of ownership, with the opportunity to partner closely with the CEO, executive team, and hiring managers across the business.
You will be joining a team that sees recruiting not as a support function, but as a competitive advantage. You will be expected to run aggressive outbound campaigns, pitch candidates at the highest level, and move fast — while contributing to our systems, process improvements, and candidate experience along the way.
This is a demanding role, with a high level of autonomy and responsibility. You will be expected to “act like an owner” and commit yourself to Tandem’s success. If you are low-ego, hungry to learn, and excited about intense, impactful work that drives both company growth and long-term culture, we want to hear from you.
If you join, you will:
Manage full-cycle recruiting for roles across technical, business, and operations functions
Source and engage candidates aggressively, through referrals, outbound, and creative tactics
Run point on scheduling, coordination, and candidate communication, ensuring a smooth and high-integrity experience
Collaborate with hiring managers and executives to clarify needs, shape scorecards, and define interview processes
Help iterate on recruiting operations, tools, and reporting to improve speed and consistency
Contribute to onboarding, employer branding, and candidate experience projects as needed
Uphold Tandem’s high hiring bar by pushing for better calibration, feedback quality, and process discipline
We’ll be most excited if you have:
2–5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally across both technical and non-technical roles
Strong instincts for sourcing and outbound — you treat top-of-funnel like a sales motion
Relentless follow-through and attention to detail — you don’t drop balls and you keep things moving
Clear, confident written and verbal communication — you can pitch Tandem effectively to any candidate
Track record of moving quickly, finding shortcuts, and going to unreasonable lengths to deliver on goals
High NPS with your former teammates
This is a list of ideal qualifications for this position. If you don't meet every single one of them, you should still consider applying! We’re excited to work with people from underrepresented backgrounds, and we encourage people from all backgrounds to apply.
Working with us
Tandem is based in New York, with our full team working out of a beautiful and spacious office in SoHo.
We run as a high-trust environment with high autonomy, which requires that everyone is fully competent and operates in line with our principles:
Commit to audacity. "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't – you're right.”
Do the math. Be rigorous, assume nothing.
Find the shortest path. Use hacks, favors, and backdoors. Only take a longer road on purpose.
Spit it out. Be direct, invite critique, avoid equivocation – we want right answers.
Be demanding and supportive. Expect excellence from everyone and offer help to achieve it.
Do what it takes to be number 1. We work hard to make sure we win.
We provide competitive compensation with meaningful equity (for full-time employees). Everyone who joins early will be a major contributor to our success, and we reflect this through ownership and pay.
We also provide rich benefits to ensure you can focus on creating impact (for full-time employees):
Fully covered medical, vision, and dental insurance.
Memberships for One Medical, Talkspace, Teladoc, and Kindbody.
Unlimited paid time off (PTO) and 16 weeks of parental leave.
401K plan setup, FSA option, commuter benefits, and DashPass.
Lunch at the office every day and Dinner at the office after 7 pm.
Our salary ranges are based on paying competitively for our company’s size and industry, and are one part of the total compensation package that also includes equity, benefits, and other opportunities at Tandem (for full-time employees). Individual pay decisions are ultimately based on a number of factors, including qualifications for the role, experience level, skillset, geography, and balancing internal equity.
