Max Mello
Director of Physician & APP Recruitment
For hiring facilities
A physician and APP search firm run by people who have done the clinical work.
Physician recruiter, physician search firm, NP and PA staffing agency: whatever you call it, the job is the same. Find the providers who are not reading your posting, screen them the way a clinician would, and bring you the ones who fit. Contingency or retained, your choice. Every placement guaranteed.
How a search works
Three steps, one point of contact
Healthcare workers helping healthcare workers find the right role, with the facility's side of that handled just as carefully.
1
A 15-minute brief
The specialty, the schedule and call expectations, the compensation range, and what has not worked so far. A job description helps but is optional; we take the brief verbally and confirm it back in writing.
2
A clinician runs the screen
Our healthcare recruiters are practicing physician assistants and a PhD medical scientist. They screen for scope, call tolerance and fit, the things that predict whether a provider is still with you in year three, before a CV reaches you.
3
Vetted providers within a week
You see the first genuinely interested, pre-screened physicians, NPs or PAs within a week of the brief. We run scheduling, feedback and the offer negotiation from there.
Terms
What working with us looks like on paper
The short version. The fee agreement carries the specifics, and if your organization has its own, we sign yours.
- Engagement

- Fee
- Standard contingency terms, agreed in writing before you see a candidate's identifying details. If your firm has its own agreement, we sign yours.
- Guarantee
- Every placement carries a guarantee. The specifics are set in the fee agreement and differ between the legal and healthcare desks.
- Speed
- First vetted candidates within a week of the brief.
What we fill
Physicians, NPs, PAs
Different seats, different searches. The clinical screen is the same.
Physicians
Permanent physician searches across primary care, hospital medicine, surgical and procedural specialties. We say on the first call whether the local supply math supports the search as briefed.
Nurse practitioners and physician assistants
Advanced-practice hiring is where most facilities are actually competing. New NP enrollments outpace new physicians in most metros we track, and we recruit into that pool every day.
Surgical facilities, clinics and hospitals
Ambulatory surgery centers, specialty clinics, urgent care groups and hospital systems. Permanent placement only; we do not place locum tenens, and we will say so rather than sell you the wrong thing.
Markets
Provider supply and shortage pressure, state by state
Every state we track has its own page: active physicians, NPs and PAs from the federal registry, employer demand, and federally designated shortage areas. Pick yours.

FAQ
Questions hiring facilities ask us
How does a physician or APP search with Voll work?+
It starts with a 15-minute call to take the brief: the specialty, the schedule and call expectations, the compensation range, and what has not worked so far. Our recruiters are practicing clinicians, so the screen covers scope and fit, not just credentials. You see the first vetted, genuinely interested candidates within a week, and we handle scheduling, feedback and the offer negotiation from there.
Do you work on contingency or retained?+
Both, and you choose. Most physician, nurse practitioner and physician assistant searches run on contingency: you pay nothing unless you hire our candidate. Hard-to-fill or confidential searches can be retained. A retained search is exclusive to us; a contingency search is not.
What does it cost to use a physician recruiter?+
On contingency, nothing until you hire our candidate. We work on standard contingency terms, agreed in writing before you see anyone's identifying details. If your organization has its own agreement, we sign yours.
Is there a guarantee if the provider leaves early?+
Yes. Every placement carries a guarantee. The specifics are set in the fee agreement, and if your organization has its own agreement the guarantee follows its terms.
Do you place locum tenens?+
No. We place permanent physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants. If you need locum coverage while a permanent search runs, we will say so on the first call rather than sell you the wrong thing.
Have an opening you need filled?
Tell us about the role. We will give you an honest read on the local market for it: who is movable, what they expect, and a realistic timeline.
