About Daybreak

Daybreak partners with districts and schools to provide personalized mental health support to help students reach their full potential. Backed by Lightspeed, Y Combinator and USV.

About the role

Daybreak Health partners with school districts to make sure any student who needs mental health care can actually get it. The gap we're closing is real: the recommended ratio is one school psychologist per 500 students, and the national reality is closer to one per 1,200, which means families wait months while counselors carry impossible caseloads.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years of recruiting experience, ideally in healthcare, behavioral health, or another licensed or credentialed field
  • Experience managing a full-cycle recruiting process, from sourcing to offer
  • Comfort working with high candidate volume across multiple open roles
  • Experience using an ATS to track candidates and pipeline stages
  • Familiarity with clinical licensure requirements (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, etc.) across multiple states
  • Experience recruiting at a startup or fast-growth company

We're backed by Union Square Ventures, Lux Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Maven Ventures, and Y Combinator, and we already serve districts representing more than a million students. That still leaves most of the country without an answer, which is exactly where this role comes in.

In this role, you will own the full recruiting cycle for our licensed therapists, counselors, and social workers who deliver care to the young people we...
