Healthcare

Cover the shift without lowering the bar.

Nurses, allied health professionals, medical office and revenue cycle staff. Licences verified, competencies checked, and people who have worked your kind of setting before.

Healthcare

The credential is the start, not the answer.

We staff clinical and non clinical healthcare roles: nursing, allied health, technicians, medical office and revenue cycle. Hospitals, clinics, outpatient centres, long term care and physician practices.

Healthcare hiring is compliance heavy and time critical at once, which is a difficult combination. We verify licences at source, check competencies and immunisation records, and only then talk about availability.

The other half is fit for setting. A nurse who thrives on a busy med surg floor is not automatically right for long term care, and the difference shows up in week two rather than at interview.

Functions

What we actually recruit for.

Pick one and you get what they actually produce, the seniority we fill, and the tools and standards a screen has to cover.

The vocabulary

What we verify and recruit against.

Healthcare screening is documentary before it is anything else. This is what gets checked, at source, before a name reaches you.

Screening

How we screen a clinician.

Healthcare is the one industry where the paperwork genuinely is the screen, and where cutting a corner has a patient on the other end of it. This part is not negotiable.

  1. 01

    Primary source verification

    Licence checked with the issuing board, not read off a resume or a photograph of a card. Expiry, status and any restrictions.

  2. 02

    Competency and setting

    A skills checklist for the specialty, plus a conversation about ratios, acuity and the kind of unit they have actually worked.

  3. 03

    Compliance file assembled

    Immunisations, TB, fit testing, background and OIG exclusion checks, and drug screening where required, before the first shift rather than after it.

  4. 04

    Shift reality confirmed

    Nights, weekends, rotating, on call, and how far they are genuinely willing to travel. Most failed healthcare placements fail here, not clinically.

  5. 05

    A reference from a charge nurse or supervisor

    Somebody who worked a shift with them, who can speak to how they handle a bad night rather than confirm dates.

Straight answer

Where the market is actually tight.

What our recruiters see running these searches. It is experience rather than a guarantee, and it is worth hearing before you plan a rota around it.

Engineering roles, what the market looks like, and a realistic timeline
RoleWhat the market looks likeRealistic shortlist
Medical office and front deskAvailable in most markets, and quick to move.Days
Medical billers and codersSteady supply. Certified coders with payer specific denial experience are scarcer.One to two weeks
CNAs and support staffAvailable, though retention rather than supply is usually the real problem.Days to a week
Allied health techniciansModality dependent. Imaging and lab are tighter than most people expect.Two to four weeks
Experienced RNs on nightsThe hardest healthcare hire we run in most markets. Differential and ratios decide it more than base pay.Three to five weeks
Clinical leadershipA genuine search, and usually confidential.Four to six weeks

If a rota depends on a hire landing by a date, tell us the date first. We would rather build the plan around it than discover it late.

Shapes

Three shapes this usually takes.

Healthcare demand is rarely one clean vacancy. These are the three shapes we see most.

  • Shift and short term cover

    Filling a rota that is short this week.

    When it fits
    Sickness, leave, a census spike, or a unit running short while you recruit permanently.
    The arrangement
    Temporary. We are the employer of record and carry the compliance file.
  • Contract assignments

    A clinician for a defined block.

    When it fits
    Seasonal demand, a unit opening, a leave of absence, or a permanent search that will take time.
    The arrangement
    Contract, typically thirteen weeks upward, extendable.
  • The permanent hire

    The person who becomes part of the unit.

    When it fits
    Core clinical roles, practice leadership, revenue cycle management.
    The arrangement
    Direct hire, or contract-to-hire where fit with the unit matters most.

Before you call

What to have ready before you call.

Knowing these answers is what turns a first call into candidates rather than questions.

  • The setting and the acuity, not just the job title
  • Shift pattern, rotation and whether there is a differential
  • Ratios, and what support the person will actually have
  • Which EHR you run, and whether training is provided
  • Licence, certification and immunisation requirements specific to your site
  • The date the rota needs this filled by

Questions

Before you call.

At primary source, with the issuing board, before anyone reaches your shortlist. We check status, expiry and any restrictions, and we recheck at renewal for anyone on assignment with us.
