MedicalRecruiting.com is a national medical recruiting firm placing physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants into permanent, locum tenens, and telehealth positions across every clinical specialty in all 50 states. Since 2006 our medical recruiters have partnered with hospitals, health systems, multi-specialty groups, single-specialty practices, FQHCs, behavioral health platforms, surgical centers, urgent care chains, telehealth companies, and academic medical centers to source, screen, and hire credentialed medical providers. We work on a contingency-only fee model — meaning employers pay nothing until a candidate accepts and starts — and we maintain an active candidate network spanning more than 1.5 million providers nationwide. Whether you are an employer searching for a single hard-to-fill role or a provider exploring your next opportunity, MedicalRecruiting.com gives you a single relationship covering every specialty, every employment model, and every market in the United States.
Most generalist staffing firms treat every medical search the same. Our medical recruiters do not. We are organized by provider type and specialty cluster — primary care, hospital medicine, surgical, medical subspecialties, behavioral health, women's health, and procedural specialties — so the recruiter handling your cardiology search actually understands STEMI call ratios, EP volume expectations, and structural heart program economics. The recruiter handling your psychiatry search understands collaborative care models, IOP and PHP program structures, and Suboxone-waivered prescribing. That depth of clinical and operational fluency is the difference between a slate of resumes and a slate of providers who will actually accept your offer.
Every medical recruiting engagement begins with a structured intake call that captures the specific must-haves of the role — practice model, productivity expectations, base and bonus structure, partnership track, sign-on, relocation, loan assistance, CME budget, malpractice coverage (occurrence vs. claims-made and tail), EMR, call coverage, and any visa or J-1 waiver considerations. We translate that intake into a written search profile our medical recruiters work against. Within 7 to 21 days we deliver a curated slate of credentialed candidates whose practice interests, geography, family considerations, and compensation expectations match the role. Every candidate has been pre-qualified and pre-briefed so employer interview slots are never wasted on misaligned introductions.
Every placement we make carries a 90-day replacement guarantee. If a placed provider does not make it through the first 90 days for any reason, we re-run the search at no additional fee. Combined with the contingency-only fee structure, that means employers can engage MedicalRecruiting.com with zero upfront financial risk and evaluate our pipeline against any incumbent firm or in-house talent team head-to-head. It is the same model that has earned us repeat business from hospitals, multi-specialty groups, and private equity-backed platforms across the country since 2006.
MedicalRecruiting.com runs three dedicated provider-type divisions, each staffed by recruiters who specialize exclusively in that population:
Employers engage MedicalRecruiting.com on a contingency-fee basis with no upfront cost. After a 30-minute intake call we open the search, build a written profile, and begin sourcing from our active candidate network plus targeted outreach to passive candidates. Employers receive a curated slate of pre-screened candidates within 7 to 21 days depending on specialty, then we coordinate interviews, structured feedback, reference checks, contract negotiation, credentialing handoff, and onboarding through the start date. Volume employers and exclusive search partners receive dedicated principal recruiter assignment, exclusive search rebates, and priority pipeline access.

Our medical recruiting practice covers every clinical specialty in every state. Highlights include:
A medical recruiter is a third-party specialist who sources, screens, and presents credentialed healthcare providers — physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants — to hiring employers. Our medical recruiters run a structured intake, build a written search profile, source candidates from an active network plus targeted outreach to passive providers, screen for must-haves and culture fit, coordinate interviews and reference checks, and manage offer negotiation and credentialing handoff through the start date. Employers pay only on a successful start, and providers pay nothing at any stage of the process.
MedicalRecruiting.com works on a standard contingency-fee model — typically 15% to 25% of the placed provider's first-year guaranteed compensation, billed only when the candidate accepts an offer and starts in the role. There are no upfront fees, no retainers, no monthly minimums, and no charges for resumes that do not convert. The exact percentage depends on the specialty, geography, and seniority of the role. Volume employers and employers running exclusive search engagements receive volume discounts and exclusive-search rebates.
Time-to-fill depends heavily on specialty, geography, and the comprehensiveness of the offer package. High-volume primary care, urgent care, and emergency medicine roles in metro markets typically fill in 30 to 60 days. Hospitalist and behavioral health searches typically run 60 to 90 days. Subspecialty searches in cardiology, neurosurgery, gastroenterology, MFM, REI, and child & adolescent psychiatry typically run 90 to 150 days due to limited candidate pools, fellowship-pipeline timing, and 90 to 180-day notice periods at current employers. Rural markets, J-1 waiver positions, and academic appointments typically add 30 to 60 days.
MedicalRecruiting.com recruits in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia. We have active employer relationships in every major metro market — Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Denver, Atlanta, Miami, Tampa, Charlotte, Nashville, Indianapolis, Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington DC, New York, Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego — as well as deep coverage of mid-size cities, rural markets, and underserved areas where the recruiting challenge is hardest.
Yes. Every candidate conversation with MedicalRecruiting.com is fully confidential. We do not share a candidate's identity, CV, or contact information with any employer until the candidate has explicitly approved the introduction. We do not contact current employers, residency programs, or fellowship directors without written consent. We do not list candidate names publicly. Confidentiality is the foundation of our medical recruiting practice — most providers we work with are passively exploring while still employed, and discretion is non-negotiable.
