Organizational Fit
Strengthen your workforce with professionals who align with your values, protocols, and commitment to exceptional patient care.
Workforce Stability
Build sustainable core staffing levels that reduce reliance on contingent labor and support consistent patient care.

How is permanent placement different from contract staffing?
. Permanent placement is a direct-hire recruitment service where the candidate becomes your employee. Unlike contract staffing, which involves ongoing hourly bill rates, permanent placement requires a one-time placement fee and helps build a stable, long-term workforce.
Can we interview candidates before making an offer?
. Absolutely. We present only pre-screened candidates who meet your technical qualifications and hiring criteria. You maintain full control over the interview process and final hiring decision.
What is your permanent placement fee structure?
. Our permanent placement fee is typically 20–30% of the candidate's first-year annual salary, paid as a one-time fee upon hire. For example, a candidate hired at an $80,000 annual salary would have a placement fee of $16,000–$24,000. Compared to ongoing contract staffing, most organizations recover this investment within 6-9 months, while benefiting from long-term workforce stability.
How long does the permanent placement process take?
. Most permanent searches are completed within 30–45 days. Specialized or difficult-to-fill positions may require 45–60 days, depending on the role, location, and candidate availability.
How do you screen and verify candidates?
. Before presenting candidates, we conduct a comprehensive pre-screening process that includes license and certification verification, employment and reference verification, professional sanctions review, OIG/GSA exclusion, behavioral interviewing, and other credential verification appropriate for the role. Additional employer-specific background checks, drug testing, or onboarding requirements remain the responsibility of the hiring organization unless otherwise agreed.
What does your 90-day placement guarantee cover?
. If a placed candidate voluntarily resigns or is terminated within 90 days of their start date, we'll conduct a replacement search and provide another qualified candidate at no additional placement fee. This guarantee covers both voluntary resignations, and terminations for cause.
