An Industry Defining Company
Karoo is a venture-backed startup on a mission to transform cardiovascular care. Our platform is designed to empower large provider groups and health systems to succeed in value-based care (VBC) contracts with payers by improving patient outcomes and reducing cost of care through better coordination, analytics, and disease management. We are currently live in multiple VBC contracts across more than ten states with significant growth plans for 2026 and beyond. While our initial focus is cardiology, we are building a scalable operating system for managing complex conditions across the healthcare spectrum.
This is a rare opportunity to join a mission-driven founding team at a pivotal stage and help define the future of healthcare technology, with the power to improve the lives of patients with cardiovascular disease, the number one cause of death in America today.
The Role
The Recruiter will build and run Karoo’s recruiting engine. This person will develop scalable processes, sourcing strategies, and systems that support high-volume hiring across both clinical and non-clinical roles. This person will own the full-cycle recruiting process while continuously improving how we attract, assess, and close talent.
By building strong recruiting systems and maintaining a great candidate experience, the Recruiter will directly impact retention, team effectiveness, and Karoo’s ability to deliver on its mission.
This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, can manage fluctuating hiring volume, and knows when to leverage third-party recruiters to scale intelligently.
