The Story Behind the Role

What are the biggest challenges in building a scalable recruiting process from scratch at Roger, and how will this role contribute to overcoming them and shaping the future talent acquisition strategy?

You know, when I first joined Roger, the energy was palpable, but the recruiting infrastructure was essentially a blank canvas. The biggest challenge, and truly the most exciting part of this role, is crafting a robust, scalable talent acquisition strategy from the ground up while we're growing at warp speed. You won't just be filling roles; you'll be laying the very foundation for how we attract, engage, and retain top talent in a competitive market. Imagine the impact – every hire you make directly fuels our mission to revolutionize dental practices. It's about designing a candidate experience that reflects our innovative spirit and building processes that are not only efficient but also deeply human-centric. It's a rare chance to truly own something, experiment with new ideas, and see your vision come to life, backed by a team that genuinely values your autonomy and creative input.

How does the strategic recruiting work in this role directly contribute to Roger's overall mission of revolutionizing dental practices with AI, beyond just filling positions?

It's all connected, really. Our mission is to transform dental practices with our virtual AI assistant. But to build that groundbreaking AI and scale our operations, we need the brightest minds. This role isn't just about finding people; it's about finding the *right* people – those who resonate with our vision, possess that 'startup mentality,' and can genuinely push boundaries. Every successful hire, from a talented AI engineer to a passionate sales professional, is a direct acceleration of our product development and market expansion. You're not just supporting HR; you're a core strategic partner, ensuring we have the human capital to deliver on our promise and make a tangible difference in the health tech space. Your work directly enables us to simplify daily practice life for dentists and their teams, ultimately enhancing patient care.

Considering the rapid growth and dynamic nature of a SaaS HealthTech startup, what unique learning and development opportunities can this role offer for a recruiter looking to specialize or advance their career?

Ah, that's a fantastic question! Working at Roger isn't just a job; it's a launchpad. Because you're building so much from scratch in a highly specialized niche – HealthTech SaaS with AI – you'll gain unparalleled expertise in strategic talent acquisition for future-oriented technologies. You'll experiment with cutting-edge tools and methodologies, diving deep into data-driven recruiting and employer branding initiatives that you might not get in a more established company. The direct exposure to our founders and senior leadership means you'll be part of high-level strategic discussions, shaping talent acquisition strategy for a rapidly scaling business. Plus, with the company’s growth, there’s immense potential to evolve this role, perhaps even leading a talent acquisition team down the line. It's truly a chance to become an expert in building a world-class talent function within a sector that's only just beginning its digital transformation.
