Senior Recruiter

Our mission at Stride is to build the world’s first benefits platform designed for the independent workforce, and we’re looking for amazing people (like you!) to help us do it. Today, 60 million Americans are working independently – in gig work or otherwise – and that trend is only accelerating. For many Americans, benefits are tightly coupled with their full-time, W2-based jobs where they receive group-based benefits. For the 60M Americans working independently and outside of that safety net, they need to find medical coverage on their own. That’s where Stride comes in. We make it incredibly easy and intuitive to find the best and most affordable health care coverage for independent workers and their families, including dental, vision, life, accident, and disability coverage. All the same benefits you’d expect from a W2 employer, but built specifically for independent workers.

Stride partners with the world’s leading platforms and employers of non-benefited workers including DoorDash, Uber, Postmates, MasterCard, Amazon, Aon, Keller Williams and others to help them provide their workers access to affordable health and wealth benefits and perks. The company is backed by Venrock, New Enterprise Associates, and F-Prime Capital Partners.

As our benefits enrollment platform gains more traction and continues to grow, so too does our team. For that reason, we’re seeking a Senior Recruiter to develop and execute our hiring strategies for key roles that will drive top-performing talent into the organization. You’ll be working with leaders throughout the company to hire across teams and at all levels. You’ll be critical to building the candidate’s experience from when they hear about Stride through their onboarding into the company.

We are a growing yet still small team (50+ employees) and believe in how small teams work – iterating and learning quickly. We believe you do your best work when you’re working with a team you enjoy, leveraging your skills and experience to drive value, and focusing on new challenges that require new learning every day. Since we’re small, we can guarantee you’ll be doing a little bit of everything here. You love to bring creativity to your work to find top talent, love teaching others and helping your team succeed, and find satisfaction in building a company one quality hire at a time.
