We recently chatted with Kate Senese, one of our top acquisition specialists at Luna. She's part of the team championing our extraordinary initiative of doubling our workforce in 2023 – a significant undertaking that she's excited to conquer. Let's learn more about her role, what drives her success, what she feels are the most compelling reasons people love working at Luna, and more.
Q: You've been at Luna for a few months now. What attracted you to the organization? Why did you want to work there?
Luna is highly impressive because no one else is doing what we're doing in the healthcare industry. I admire Luna's strategic business model and how it has leveraged its technology to gain a position of strength in the world of physical therapy. We are shaking things up, and considering I wanted to be a part of something that's really cutting edge, it's been an excellent fit. I'm very excited to help grow and scale the business with successful recruiting.
Q: Tell us more about your role and highlight some of the important work you do.
I recruit the non-clinical corporate staff based at Luna's headquarters in California. The positions I fill are the ones that support our growing team of physical therapists. Some of these positions include our Concierge Associates, who handle interactions between patients and PTs, and our Credentialing Associates, who are the "detectives of onboarding" for our new PTs. We verify our physical therapist's licensing, education, background, and other important criteria.
Q: What do you feel are some of the main reasons people love working at Luna?
It's a warm yet hard-working team here. Everybody I've worked with is willing to roll up their sleeves and work together to get things done. There's a strong culture of appreciation, which is really refreshing. No matter what department I interact with, everyone is appreciative of your efforts.
Q: You're part of the Luna team tasked with doubling the workforce in 2023. What do you feel are the top reasons job candidates choose Luna over other employment opportunities?
I'm finding that people want to be part of something bigger than themselves and are choosing to work at Luna because of our immense positive impact on our communities. Our employees love being a part of Luna's incredible growth. Also, that rapid growth equates to fast-track career opportunities, which is very enticing. Moreover, our job candidates easily understand and identify with Luna and its business model. They see the need and often wish Luna was around when they or a loved one needed in-home physical therapy. When you take all of these aspects into account, a career at Luna essentially sells itself!
Q: Considering that there's a shortage of workers in the healthcare industry, are there any special incentives being offered to encourage employment with Luna?
Many of our job opportunities offer hybrid work schedules. I've found that post-COVID, people find that to be a significant benefit. We also offer competitive compensation and excellent health benefits. We provide stock options too, which is nice because you literally get shares in Luna's success. We even offer other unique benefits, like pet insurance! And when it comes to exempt employees, we offer unlimited paid time off, which is incredible. We want our employees to know that working at Luna isn't just a job. No matter the department you work in or the future position you're aiming for, we've outlined clear career paths (known as "Luna Ladders") that map out the way. With those guidelines in hand, every employee can advance within the company as it continues to grow.
Q: What are the best ways for potential candidates to learn more about job opportunities at Luna? And what's the best way to reach you if they want more details
