The opportunity as Talent Associate

Fella is building a world-class team.

As Talent Associate at Fella Health, you’ll work side-by-side with our Talent Lead (Lorena) and our CEO (Richie) to lead a lean, high-performing team where people are doing the best work of their life. You’ll help remove the barriers our leads face by making A+ hires as needed.

You’ll help source candidates through job platforms, role-specific communities, general startup communities, and outbound searches, ensuring we have a solid top of funnel that captures the 1% top talent for a given role. You’ll then help align closely with our Leads to ensure you fully understand the role requirements and can effectively filter all initial applications, progressing only those candidates who are the most promising and best fit our company culture. This dramatically scales our Leads’ time and directly impacts the company’s ability to grow.

This is a full-time, fully remote role, and you’ll work in the US timezone of your choice.

You’ll report directly to our Talent Lead, Lorena Cunha. You’ll also work closely with our Leads: Head of Growth (Dave Lane), Head of Engineering (Gzim Helshani), Head of Expansion (Joey Gracek), Head of Product & Ops (Ben Dowdle), Clinical Ops Lead (Arvee Sese), Sales Lead (Jordan Pellikan) to align on their hiring needs.

Key Responsibilities

• Full Life-Cycle Recruitment:

  • Role requirements: Work with our leads to determine the roles they plan to hire for, the specifications of those roles, and the timelines for when they need to be filled.

  • Talent Sourcing: Use various channels, including job boards, communities, recruiting agencies, social media, and networking, to attract qualified candidates that may or may not be actively searching for a new job.

  • Application Filtering: Filter all inbound applications, ensuring only promising candidates are progressed for further evaluation.

  • Initial Candidate Screening: You’ll conduct initial interviews with filtered candidates to assess their fit for the role and company culture before progressing them to our Leads.

  • New Hire Onboarding: Ensure all new hires are smoothly onboarded with the company.

Need to have

• Language: you are fluent in spoken & written English.

• Inquisitive: you make an effort to thoroughly understand each role and its requirements by continuously aligning with our team leads. If any outsider were to ask about the role and its requirements, you’d be able to give them a perfect picture of it.

• Flexibility: you can manage recruitment volume throughout the annual cycle, swiftly ramping up for key searches or peak seasons.

• Organization: you have strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities while moving seamlessly between multiple searches and client groups.

• Mindset: you calmly handle uncertainty and rapidly changing situations.

Nice to have

• Technical Proficiency: you can navigate applicant tracking systems with ease.

• Experience: you might have 2+ years of relevant experience hiring for multiple roles with varying company functions and seniority.

• Learning: you're an autodidact with impressive speed and resourcefulness. You regularly teach yourself the skills you need from scratch.

Our cultural standards

These are the core cultural standards to which we hold ourselves & our team-members at Fella:

• Belief in the mission: we will have served 10 million patients by the end of 2028 and we transform the life of most patients who join. We have a lot of work to do. We are obsessed with our patients and are dedicated to the mission.

• Unwavering integrity: we are at the frontier, so we often live in ambiguity with no trodden path. When we can’t look to others for guidance, we must maintain impeccable ethics and unwavering integrity.

• Only the paranoid survive: bad sh*t is coming. By joining us, you’re choosing to sail straight towards the storms with unhesitating conviction. However much we’ve already done, however far we’ve already come — it’s still Day 1 and all our work is ahead of us.

• Your life’s work: this will be your most challenging, most rewarding role of your life. You’ll be shocked how capable you are & how much you can achieve.

• If we’re average we fail: we are only interested in “insanely great”, a focus on the quality of our execution that in everyday life would be considered pathological. We have a dedication to excellence and reject incompetence.

• Commitment to candor: that which can be destroyed by the truth should be. You get full transparency from the company and the company expects full transparency from you. We never say anything about someone that you wouldn’t say to them directly. We give feedback with love and do not need to protect people from fleeting physical sensations.

• A maniacal sense of urgency: we execute at an intensity that most people think is impossible. Speed is critical and we need things done yesterday. We all work very hard and in such a competitive world there really is no other way to win.

• Enduring frugality: we are frugal. We hate being wasteful and we are anti-luxury. A culture of cheapness keeps us young. We spend our cash wisely & carefully — in a way that would make our grandmas proud.

• Bulldozing barriers: the world is malleable and we shape it. We truly believe this and act accordingly. We are relentlessly resourceful and are at the mercy of no-one but ourselves.

• Keep your head down: we’re boring people doing exciting work. We don’t chase short-term status — we ignore short-term dopamine hits and focus on what matters. Outsiders will underestimate us and we revel in that.

• The power of focus: we live in a world of power laws and we cannot overestimate the unimportance of practically everything. Know your One Thing, and nail it.

🎯 “You just build an amazing experience. Make each step amazing. Make every decision in the long term interest of the customer. Give the customer massively more value than you take.”
