Challenge

Health Note needed to scale engineering fast after a $17M raise — without building a recruiting function from scratch.

Health Note's AI platform answers patient calls, handles scheduling and intake, and automates clinical documentation for health systems, urgent care groups, and specialty practices. In July 2022, the company closed a $17M Series A led by SignalFire, joined by UnityPoint Health, Northwell Holdings, and Cedars-Sinai Health Ventures — funding earmarked for market expansion, deeper EHR integrations, and continued product R&D.

That growth plan depended on engineering headcount. Health Note's HR function was lean, and running a full-cycle technical search — sourcing, screening, and coordinating interviews — on top of everything else post-raise wasn't realistic without a partner who could move quickly and independently.

Solution

Recruitcha ran the full engineering search, from sourcing to shortlist.

Recruitcha engaged its network of software engineers, screening for the track record and product experience the role demanded — proven shippers who could contribute quickly to a fast-moving platform. Recruitcha's team completed structured screening upfront: evaluating role alignment, technical ability, and motivation before any introduction was made.

Health Note's team spent its limited time only on candidates who were already vetted and ready to move — not on repeating first-round screening internally.

Results

Health Note hired 2 software engineers in under two weeks.

  • Fast time-to-hire. The search moved from kickoff to hire in two weeks, letting Health Note's engineering team keep pace with its post-Series A roadmap.
  • Two strong engineering hires. Two engineers joined the team without pulling Health Note's HR staff off other post-raise priorities.
  • High-signal shortlist. Every candidate arrived pre-screened for role fit and technical ability, cutting down on interviews that don't convert.
