About EliseAI
At EliseAI, we're improving the industries that matter most: housing and healthcare. Everyone needs a place to live and access to quality healthcare, yet both are often harder to secure than they should be.
By integrating AI agents deeply into existing workflows, we make them more efficient, reduce costs, and improve the experience for everyone.
Housing: We simplify how renters tour apartments, sign leases, submit maintenance requests, and stay connected with their property team—bringing everything they need for their home into one place.
Healthcare: We make it easy to schedule appointments, complete intake forms, and we help patients communicate with providers, so everyone can focus on health instead of paperwork.
With EliseAI, organizations reduce manual work, improve accessibility, and deliver a seamless experience across essential services. We recently raised a $350 million funding round at a $4 billion valuation led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Bessemer Venture Partners to accelerate this mission.
About The Role
Hiring has been a top priority at EliseAI as we’ve doubled year over year for five consecutive years, and we’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Associate to help us find the people behind our next stage of growth.
You’ll support hiring across a variety of functions, with a strong focus on sourcing, engaging, and screening exceptional candidates. Working alongside other recruiters and hiring managers, you’ll build talent pipelines, keep candidates moving through the process, and learn how to run searches from start to finish. This is a hands-on opportunity to develop your recruiting judgment and take on more ownership as you grow.
Key Responsibilities
Source candidates across a variety of functions using research, market mapping, referrals, and creative outreach
Build and maintain strong pipelines of passive and active candidates for current and future openings
Write personalized outreach that helps exceptional candidates understand the opportunity at EliseAI
Screen candidates to understand their experience, motivations, and fit for the role
Partner with recruiters and hiring managers to understand role requirements and refine searches based on feedback
Support interview processes by keeping candidates engaged, gathering feedback, and helping teams move quickly
Help grow employee referrals by working with teams to identify talent in their networks
Maintain accurate candidate records and use pipeline data to spot where searches need more focus
Deliver a thoughtful, responsive candidate experience from first contact through the hiring process
Move at rocket speed, build something massive.
We’re scaling fast, solving real client problems with precision and ambition. Here, you own your impact; full autonomy, no micromanagement, no fluff.
We hire the best, expect the best, and give you the masterclass of your career. It’s hard, it’s intense, and it’s the most rewarding work you’ll ever do. If you’re hungry, driven, and ready to build something massive, climb aboard.
Requirements
1-3 years of experience in recruiting, sourcing or sales, with a strong interest in developing as a talent acquisition partner
Ability to find and engage high-caliber candidates through research, outreach, and relationship building
Sound judgment in candidate screening and curiosity about what makes someone successful in a role
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to craft compelling, personalized outreach
Coordinate interview processes, working with candidates and interviewers to keep scheduling and next steps on track
Excellent organization and attention to detail while managing multiple searches and candidate relationships
Comfort using recruiting tools and data to track progress and prioritize work
A proactive approach, willingness to learn, and ability to move quickly in a fast-paced environment
Willingness to work in person at our office 4-5 days a week
Why Join
Growth and impact. It’s not often that you can get in on the ground floor of a funded (unicorn!) startup that’s scaling so fast. That means that instead of following a playbook, you’ll be writing it. Every single day you will be challenged to identify how we can scale and execute on it. You’ll learn what works when you succeed and what doesn’t when you fail. Either way, the rest of the team will be here to support you.
Benefits
In addition to the growth and impact you’ll have at EliseAI, we offer competitive salaries along with the following benefits:
Equity in the company
Medical, Dental and Vision premiums covered at 100%
Fully paid parental leave
Commuter benefits
401k benefits
Fitness & home services stipend to cover part of your expenses so you can focus on what matters
A collaborative in-office environment with an open floor plan, fully stocked kitchen, and all meals covered in the office
Unlimited vacation and paid holidays
We'll cover relocation packages and make the move exciting, not painful!
Job Compensation Range
The salary range for this role is $90,000 - $130,000. EliseAI offers a competitive total rewards package which includes base salary, equity, and a comprehensive benefits & perks package. Exact compensation is determined based on a number of factors including experience, skill level, location and qualifications which are assessed during the interview process. Additional details about total compensation and benefits will be provided by our Recruiting Team during the hiring process.

Talent Acquisition Specialist Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a talent acquisition specialist in New York?
A bachelor's degree in human resources, business, or a related field is the standard starting point for talent acquisition specialists in New York. There is no state-issued license required to work in the role, but New York employers consistently favor candidates who hold SHRM-CP or PHR certification from the HR Certification Institute. Gaining experience in recruiting coordination, HR administration, or staffing agency work in New York City or a major upstate market is the most common path into a specialist role.
Which companies hire talent acquisition specialists in New York?
Employers hiring talent acquisition specialists in New York right now include Legora, TikTok, and Airwallex, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. New York's density of financial institutions, healthcare systems, and professional services firms means demand for in-house recruiting talent remains consistent throughout the year.
Which New York cities have the most talent acquisition specialist jobs?
New York, Brooklyn, and Buffalo have the most talent acquisition specialist openings in New York. New York City drives the majority of demand due to its concentration of corporate headquarters in finance, media, and technology, while White Plains and Albany reflect recruiting activity from regional healthcare networks, state government agencies, and professional services firms based outside the city.
Are there remote talent acquisition specialist jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 78% of talent acquisition specialist openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how well the role translates to virtual work environments. Sourcing, screening, and interview coordination are the functions most consistently offered remotely, while onboarding support and executive search roles more often require in-person presence.
How can I get hired as a talent acquisition specialist in New York with little or no experience?
Starting as an HR coordinator, recruiting coordinator, or staffing agency associate is the most realistic entry path into talent acquisition in New York. Large New York employers such as major hospital systems and financial services firms regularly hire recruiting coordinators with limited experience and promote from within. Building experience with applicant tracking systems and earning a SHRM-CP certification strengthens an application considerably. Roles at New York-based staffing and temp agencies also provide fast-track exposure to full-cycle recruiting across multiple industries.
