1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but most providers don’t accept insurance, making therapy too expensive for most people. Headway’s mission is to fix this by building a new mental healthcare system everyone can access. We started by solving the biggest barrier to care: insurance. The admin work—credentialing, claims, payment reconciliation—is a nightmare. We’ve automated that.
But we’re going further. Over 75,000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software, serving over 1 million patients. We are building the best tools for therapists to run their entire practice, reimagining the experience of finding a therapist, and investing in the platform foundations to enable this at scale. We aren’t just a billing layer; we are becoming the platform where care actually happens.
We’re a Series D company with $325M+ in funding (a16z, Accel, Spark Capital, etc.), looking for exceptional people to help us achieve this mission. We want your time here to be the most meaningful experience of your career. Join us, and help change mental healthcare for the better.
Headway’s Talent team is hiring a Contract Technical Sourcer to help us find and engage exceptional technology talent for our fast-growing teams. In this role, you’ll lean on trusted sourcing techniques and creative strategies to uncover talent beyond the obvious channels. You’ll know how to navigate niche communities, leverage referrals, and craft compelling outreach that stands out in crowded inboxes. You’ll also partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to calibrate profiles and ensure a seamless candidate experience from the very first interaction. This role is mission-critical as we build the team that will power Headway’s next stage of growth.
You will:
- Source top talent for technical roles (primarily Engineering) using both proven methods and creative approaches to engage hard-to-reach candidates.
- Leverage tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, Juicebox, and Ashby while also tapping into talent communities, competitor mapping, referrals, and other advanced sourcing channels.
- Partner with recruiters and hiring managers to refine sourcing strategies, share market insights, and build diverse, high-quality pipelines.
- Conduct initial screens to assess talent and ensure a smooth and positive candidate experience.
You’ll be a good fit if:
- You have hands-on experience with LinkedIn Recruiter (required), and are skilled with Juicebox and Ashby (highly preferred).
- You bring trusted experience applying creative sourcing strategies such as market mapping, engaging niche networks, leveraging events, and crafting differentiated outreach.
- You’ve sourced across a range of technical roles in fast-paced, high-growth companies.
- You thrive in a metrics-driven environment, balancing speed with quality to deliver diverse, well-aligned pipelines.
- You’re detail-oriented, resourceful, and energized by the challenge of turning tough searches into great hires.

Headway
View Company ProfileHeadway is a massive, highly disruptive HealthTech platform fundamentally rewiring the broken mental healthcare system in the United States. Headquartered in New York City, the company tackles the critical access problem where over 70% of therapists do not accept insurance due to overwhelming administrative burdens. Under the hood, Headway operates as a powerful, software-driven national network that seamlessly connects patients, mental health providers, and top-tier insurance companies (like Aetna, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare). They handle all the heavy lifting for providers—including credentialing, billing, and revenue cycle management—allowing therapists to easily build private practices while accepting insurance. Their primary target audience spans millions of Americans seeking affordable, in-network mental health care, as well as thousands of licensed psychiatrists and therapists looking to eliminate administrative friction. What sets Headway apart in the rapidly scaling digital health landscape is its asset-free network model; by removing the billing nightmare, they empower patients to find highly personalized, covered therapy sessions (often for $0) while scaling to over 65,000 providers and 30 million completed sessions nationwide.
