Clinical Interviewer

28 million Americans with Medicaid need mental health care. Only a third of them will find it.

Third Space is a virtual mental health practice built specifically for Medicaid patients. We’re building the operational infrastructure required to make high-quality behavioral healthcare accessible to populations the traditional system routinely leaves behind.

We’ve proven there is enormous demand. Now we’re building the engine that allows us to serve that demand across states, payers, providers, and clinical services without sacrificing quality.

Why work at Third Space

• You’ll directly shape who delivers care to our patients. As we scale, the quality of the clinicians we hire becomes one of the most important determinants of patient outcomes. You’ll be a critical part of maintaining that bar.

• You’ll help us scale clinical quality, not just hiring volume. We’re growing quickly across states, license types, and clinical services. Your job is to help us move faster without compromising clinical judgment, safety, or quality.

• You’ll have real ownership over how we assess clinicians. You won’t inherit a rigid interview process. You’ll work closely with our founders, Clinical Director, and Talent team to improve our clinical interview framework, scorecards, case scenarios, and hiring standards.

• You’ll use your clinical expertise in a different way. This is an opportunity for an experienced clinician to step away from a traditional caseload and apply their judgment across hundreds of hiring decisions that influence the care we deliver at scale.

As our Clinical Interviewer, you will be the primary clinical evaluator for providers joining Third Space.

Our Clinical Talent Recruiters own sourcing, initial screening, and candidate management. Once candidates reach the clinical stage, you'll take over, conducting structured interviews with behavioral health clinicians across a range of disciplines and experience levels. You’ll use your clinical judgment to assess candidates’ competence, decision-making, communication, cultural responsiveness, and alignment with the clinical standards, operating values, and care model we expect from Third Space providers.

This is not a sourcing or traditional recruiting position, and you will not carry a patient caseload. Your job is to become exceptionally good at evaluating clinicians.

You'll work closely with our Clinical Director and Talent team to continuously strengthen how Third Space assesses clinical talent as we scale.

• Conduct high-volume, structured clinical interviews with behavioral health clinician candidates.

• Assess candidates' clinical reasoning, diagnostic approach, treatment planning, risk assessment, ethical judgment, communication, cultural responsiveness, and approach to patient care.

• Use case-based and scenario-based questions to understand how candidates apply their clinical knowledge in real situations.

• Evaluate candidates against standardized role-specific scorecards and make clear, evidence-based hiring recommendations.

• Apply appropriate clinical standards when evaluating behavioral health clinicians across disciplines, experience levels, and stages of their careers.

• Assess clinicians' ability to manage complex cases, identify risk, exercise sound clinical judgment, and support the development of other clinicians where relevant to their role.

• Identify clinical strengths, concerns, and areas requiring additional assessment.

• Document interview findings thoroughly and promptly so recruiting decisions can move quickly.

• Partner with our Clinical Director to calibrate interviewing standards and maintain consistency across candidates.

• Partner with Clinical Talent Recruiters to maintain a fast, thoughtful, and high-quality candidate…
