What are the responsibilities and job description for the Talent Acquisition Partner position at Sailor Health?
🏥 About Sailor Health
Sailor Health is on a mission to solve the mental health crisis among older adults. Getting older in America is tough: 90% of seniors live with chronic health conditions, 40% feel isolated, and older adults have the highest suicide rates of any age group. Sailor exists to change that.
Sailor Health is building the AI-native health system for happier and healthier aging. Sailor offers virtual mental health, care navigation, wellness classes, and AI care agents. Our vision is to become the trusted household name for older adults in America, setting a new standard for aging with dignity and honor.
We are growing quickly and have partnered with Medicare to offer affordable and exceptional healthcare to thousands of patients. We are honored to have the support and backing of world-class founders from Ramp, Nourish, and Headway.
