About Counsel

Counsel’s mission is to multiply the world's healthcare capacity. We believe in a future in which every person has a personalized, AI-enabled doctor always in their pocket. To accomplish this, we’re building the first fully-vertical, AI-native medical group from the ground up. We’ve redesigned the entire clinical stack with custom AI tools that make our in-house physicians 10x faster and smarter. [learn more on our blog]

Since our founding in 2023, we have formed partnerships with leading healthcare organizations and are on track to serve hundreds of thousands of patients on our platform within the next year. We have raised over $35M from a16z, Google Ventures, Pear VC and other top-tier VC firms.

Our team combines deep expertise in medicine (Harvard, Mt. Sinai, Mass General, UCSF) and technology (MIT, Google, DeepMind, NVIDIA, Stripe, Meta) — and we’re looking for exceptional people to join us as we scale.

Join us as we build the future of AI in healthcare!

About the role

We're looking for a Senior Talent Partner who lives and breathes physician hiring. You know the difference between a great clinician and a good one, and you care deeply about getting that call right. You bring that same rigor to every search: the credentialing complexity, the licensure nuances, the scheduling realities, because you understand that clinical hiring is different from everything else.

This is a role for someone who moves fast and holds a high bar at the same time. You've built pipelines, closed hard searches, and pushed back on mediocre hires. You believe talent density is a strategy, and you want to be somewhere the stakes are real.

You're genuinely excited by what Counsel is building at the intersection of AI and healthcare. That excitement makes you a better partner to clinical leadership, a better evaluator of candidates, and more invested in getting every hire right.

This role is Boston-based. We're committed to building a Boston office, and we want someone who wants to be part of that from the start.

What you'll work on

• Own full-cycle physician hiring, from first sourcing touch to signed offer and credentialing hand-off

• Partner with the Chief Medical Officer and clinical leadership to define what great looks like for each role and make fast, high-conviction decisions

• Design and run sourcing campaigns that go beyond the standard playbook. You find physicians others miss and know how to get their attention

• Serve as a trusted advisor to the team, sharing market intel, keeping stakeholders aligned, and ensuring no one is ever surprised by where a candidate stands

• Champion a high bar for clinical talent in every search, every conversation, every offer

Requirements

• 5+ years of full-cycle clinical recruiting experience, with the majority focused on physicians (MDs and DOs)

• Deep fluency in what makes a great clinician: you evaluate candidates on clinical judgment, digital-first mindset, and culture, not just credentials. You assess doctors, not just process them

• Telehealth or digital health background: you've recruited in a high-growth virtual care or health-tech environment and understand the landscape

• Strong command of Ashby ATS, with a real focus on data integrity and analytics

• A track record of closing senior and niche clinical roles through outbound sourcing, not just inbound

• The kind of relationship with clinical leadership where they actually want your opinion, not just your pipeline update

• A genuine obsession with talent density and quality: you've raised bars, pushed back on mediocre hires, and built teams that made a real difference

You're a great fit if

• You have a deep physician network within digital health or telehealth

• You're based in the Boston area and genuinely excited to work from an office as we build that presence

• You're deeply interested in AI and where it's going in healthcare, and you want to work somewhere that's building something real with it

• You've recruited clinical roles at the intersection of AI and virtual care in startup environments

• You actively use AI tools in your recruiting workflow and have strong opinions about where they make you better

• You're ex
