Senior Technical Recruiter, 6-Month Contract

Job Description

OUR MISSION

We exist to create a more connected, compassionate, and confident experience for people with cancer and those who care for them. We make it easier to get answers, access high-quality care quickly, and feel supported throughout treatment and beyond.

Today, Thyme Care is a market-leading value-based oncology care enabler, partnering with national and regional health plans, providers, and employers to deliver better outcomes and lower costs for thousands of people across the country. Our model combines high-touch human support with powerful technology and AI to bring together everyone involved in a person’s cancer journey: caregivers, oncologists, health plans, and employers.

As a tech-native organization, we believe technology should strengthen the human connection at the center of care. Through data science, automation, and AI, we simplify complexity, improve collaboration, and help care teams focus on what matters most: supporting people through cancer.

Looking ahead, our vision is bold: to become a household name in cancer care, where every person diagnosed asks for Thyme Care by name. If you’re inspired to make cancer care more human and to help reimagine what’s possible, we’d love to meet you. Together, we can build a future where every person with cancer feels truly cared for, in every moment that matters.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

As a Senior Technical Recruiter, you’ll join Thyme Care for a six-month engagement to help us scale hiring across Engineering, Product, Data, Security, and other technical teams during a period of significant growth.

We’re looking for an experienced technical recruiter who can ramp quickly, independently own complex searches, and become a trusted partner to our technical leaders. You’ll have meaningful ownership from day one and help us continue evolving how we recruit, including experimenting with AI and new technologies to make our team faster and better.

WHAT YOU’VE DONE

WHAT LEADS TO SUCCESS

Members-first. Thyme Care’s mission and members matter to you, deeply.

Technical recruiting expertise. You know how to find and engage great technical talent and can quickly develop credibility in new technical domains.

AI curiosity. You believe AI will fundamentally change recruiting and want to help figure out how. You experiment, learn quickly, and aren’t afraid to try something that may not work the first time.

Ownership. You can come in, get context quickly, and run. You identify problems early and take responsibility for getting searches across the finish line.

Strong partnership. You build credibility with hiring managers and candidates through responsiveness, judgment, and clear communication. You’re comfortable pushing back when there’s a better approach.

Agility and adaptability. You’re comfortable in a fast-moving environment where hiring needs, technology, and priorities can change quickly.

Candidate-focused. You recognize that recruiting is a relationship business. Technology should make us better at building relationships, not replace them.

Team mindset. Even in a six-month engagement, you operate as part of the team, share what you learn, and help improve how we recruit beyond your individual searches.
