Contract Sales Recruiter (30 hours a week, 3+ month contract)

About Us

Sage is on a mission to improve care and quality of life for older adults, starting with those residing in senior living facilities. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among adults over 65. And yet, fall prevention and emergency response systems for older adults are archaic and ineffective. At Sage we've built a more modern way of understanding when older adults need help, including methods for residents to alert caregivers when in need of help, and corresponding software for caregivers to triage response. Our company mission is to create a product that our client counterparts love, and this role is a key part of that objective.

Sage is a small, tight team of ambitious, multi-disciplinary entrepreneurs. We are a software-enabled, mission-driven company, and are focused only on the problems that are central to achieving that mission. At Sage, we work hard and fast but also know that to build a truly important company, we need to treat our work as a marathon, and not a sprint. The journey matters.

About this Role

As a Contract Sales Recruiter at Sage, you’ll play a key role in building the teams that bring our mission to life. Your primary focus will be doing full-cycle recruitment for high-impact roles across Sales and Client Growth teams. You’ll partner closely with the Head of Talent Acquisition, the full-time GTM Recruiter, Recruiting Coordinator, and Sales Hiring Managers. You’ll be responsible for understanding the requirements for the roles, running thoughtful and efficient searches, and delivering an exceptional candidate experience from first touch to offer. This is a hands-on, high-ownership recruiting role where success means filling critical roles with outstanding, values-aligned talent that helps Sage scale.

This position is a 3-month contract for 30 hours a week with possible extension and potential conversion to full-time. This role reports to the Head of Talent Acquisition, and as a contractor, you can work either work from our office in Union Square, or remotely. We are looking for someone who is commuting distance from NYC, since we will ask that you come onsite at least a few times a month.
