Senior HR Business Partner, Talent Strategy

The Role

Hone is looking for a Senior HR Business Partner, Talent Strategy to join our People Ops team. In this role, you will report to the Director of People Ops and own full-cycle recruiting across the organization, spanning both technical and non-technical functions. More than anything, this is a role about partnership: you will be the strategic bridge between hiring managers who need great talent and the candidates - both active and passive - who could be that talent, today or down the road.

Internally, you’ll operate as a true advisor to hiring managers - shaping their thinking on role scope, market realities, and hiring bar, not just taking orders on a requisition. Externally, you’ll build real relationships with candidates, including those who aren’t ready to move today but could be exactly right for a future opening. You’ll also bring genuine fluency with AI tools to make your own work faster and sharper, but the AI is in service of better partnership and better decisions - not the other way around.

Primary Responsibilities

Key responsibilities for this role include (but are not limited to) the following:

Strategic Partnership with Hiring Managers

• Lead structured intake conversations that go beyond the job description
• Serve as a trusted advisor on hiring strategy, market compensation realities, and role scope
• Drive a structured, consistent interview process that reflects Hone’s values and holds hiring managers accountable to a fair, well-calibrated bar
• Negotiate and extend offers in partnership with hiring managers and People Ops

Candidate Relationships & Talent Pipeline

• Build genuine, long-term relationships with both active and passive candidates - not just filling today’s open roles, but cultivating talent pools for roles we haven’t opened yet
• Develop and execute proactive sourcing strategies across multiple channels (LinkedIn, job boards, professional networks, referrals, and beyond)
• Deliver a best-in-class candidate experience that reflects well on Hone’s employer brand, whether or not a given candidate is hired
• Maintain an ongoing talent network so that when new roles open, we’re starting from a warm pipeline instead of a cold search

AI-Enabled Recruiting

• Use AI tools (Claude plus others) as a regular part of your workflow to work faster and make better-informed decisions - across sourcing, outreach, screening support, and pipeline management
• Maintain clean, accurate data in Greenhouse ATS - use it to track pipeline health, identify bottlenecks, and report on recruiting metrics
• Help train hiring managers on effective, legally compliant use of AI tools in hiring decisions

Recruiting Infrastructure

• Help build and refine our recruiting infrastructure as we scale - including process documentation, interview training, and intake frameworks
• Contribute to employer branding initiatives that help Hone stand out in a competitive market

Qualifications

In order to qualify for this role, candidates must meet the following criteria:

• At least 5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a demonstrated track record as a strategic partner to hiring managers and leadership
• At least 4 years of in-house recruiting experience
• Proven ability to build and sustain long-term relationships with passive candidates, including maintaining active talent pipelines between hiring needs
• Experience recruiting in healthtech, digital health, or telemedicine preferred
• Experience advising hiring managers on role scope, market compensation, and hiring strategy - comfortable pushing back when needed
• Proven ability to managing a dynamic, shifting req load in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
• Proficiency with Greenhouse ATS and modern sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter or similar)
• Demonstrated use of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) as a regular part of your recruiting workflow
• Strong instincts for candidate quality and culture fit - you ask great questions and assess beyond the resume
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Ability to multitask, prioritize, and adhere to deadlines while maintaining attention to detail and quality
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, frequently changing environment (experience directly working in a high-growth or startup org is strongly preferred)
• Creative problem-solving skills with a results-driven mindset
• Can quickly learn new technology systems and communication tools
• Ability to work autonomously and collaboratively
