Case Study – Valera Health

Valera Health is a telemental health service company that uses digital technology to deliver high-quality and culturally appropriate behavioral healthcare. Founded in 2016, Valera offers comprehensive, inclusive, and custom-tailored therapy and psychiatry services with a key focus: prioritizing a patient’s overall mental health. Based in Brooklyn, New York, Valera serves patients in nine states and counting.

Valera recruits for various remote clinical roles, including therapists and nurse practitioners, and most are contract or part-time positions. Oftentimes, recruiting through general job boards yielded irrelevant candidates; some did not possess the right certifications, and others came from different industries. Valera sought a solution that would generate high-quality candidates in the mental health profession and serve as a resource to grow its talent pipeline.

Valera discovered iHire, an industry-specific recruitment platform with 57 talent communities, including iHireMentalHealth. The company began posting job openings through iHire’s flexible Job Slots, and proactively sourcing candidates through iHire’s Resume Search.

Thus far, Valera has been impressed by the quality of candidates it is finding on iHire. Most recently, Valera filled a Mental Health Therapist role with a candidate it found via Resume Search.

“From the very beginning, my experience with iHire has been phenomenal,” said Cassie Elliott, Manager, Clinical Recruitment, Valera Health. “I’ve enjoyed the interactions with the iHire team – they are prompt and supportive. Working with iHire is allowing Valera to reach more quality candidates and get our brand out in front of passive job seekers who may be interested in applying later down the line.”
