Talent Acquisition Specialist

Join Cartwheel to help tackle the student mental health crisis!

Cartwheel is a Series B, venture-backed startup building a new kind of mental health program for kids that puts schools at the center. We see our role as supporting school staff who see kids every single day. Instead of going around them, we collaborate with them. This means: 

  • Earlier intervention
  • Higher student and family engagement in care
  • Better coordination among the trusted adults in a student’s life 

Kids shouldn't just aspire to get out of bed and drag themselves to class. They should be able to experience joy. They deserve to envision and build a life they’re excited to live. If you join Cartwheel, you’ll help make this vision a reality for millions of students across the country. 

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to join our fast-growing team in a temp-to-perm capacity. You’ll play a key role in running a consistent, high-quality hiring engine as Cartwheel scales our corporate team.This role blends recruiting operations, scheduling excellence, and light full-cycle ownership for select roles. You’ll report to our Corporate Recruiter and work closely to deliver an outstanding candidate experience and keep hiring teams deeply aligned and moving quickly.This is an ideal role for someone who loves bringing order to chaos, enjoys problem-solving across many moving parts, and wants to grow in Talent Acquisition at a mission-driven startup.

Role type: This is a Temp, W2, Full-Time, Salaried position (3 months) with the possibility of converting to permanent after 90 days
Hourly rate: $55–$60/hour
Location: Remote (U.S.)

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Own the operational side of our hiring engine — you’ll run the day-to-day flow of interviews, candidates, and ATS data so the recruiter can focus on strategy, stakeholder alignment, and closing.
  • Take point on simpler roles (e.g., coordinators, support roles, select clinical support roles) by handling posting, screening to a clear rubric, coordination, and offer logistics, while the recruiter owns compensation, stakeholder management, and final decisions.
  • Act as more than a scheduler by anticipating conflicts, designing interview flows that make sense, and keeping everyone prepared, in the loop, and on the same page.
  • Have the opportunity to flex your support based on volume — some periods may lean more corporate and others more clinical, and you’ll shift where your help has the greatest impact.
  • Drive process, not strategy — maintain clean, accurate Greenhouse pipelines, keep interviews moving, and run tight debriefs without owning high-level hiring strategy or headcount planning.
  • Bring an operational mindset by spotting patterns, flagging risks early, and identifying small but impactful process improvements that make our hiring engine more scalable and predictabl time.

WHO YOU ARE

  • 1–3+ years of experience in Talent Acquisition, Recruiting Coordination, HR, or a People Operations role.
  • Hands-on experience with Greenhouse is required.
  • Strong communicator — clear, warm, concise, and professional.
  • Highly organized with excellent attention to detail; you enjoy keeping systems and processes tidy.
  • Comfortable managing many moving parts across calendars, time zones, and stakeholders.
  • Excited by fast-paced, early-stage startup environments where you can build and improve processes.

Extra Credit 

  • Experience supporting technical, clinical, or specialized roles.

  • Familiarity with sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem) or clinical recruiting workflows.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE CARTWHEEL

Our hope is that Cartwheel will be your best career decision! In addition to tackling one of the biggest challenges of our time, at a company well-positioned to do so, you'll have:

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
