NP and PA search, screened by practicing clinicians.

On contingency, nothing until you hire our candidate. The fee is set per search and agreed in writing before you see anyone's identifying details; we do not publish a percentage, because the right number depends on the specialty, the market and how the search is structured. Retained searches, used for hard-to-fill or confidential seats, are priced per engagement. If your organization has its own fee agreement, we sign yours. The provider never pays.

Often either will do the work, and the honest answer depends on your state, your supervising physicians and the pool in front of you rather than on a general rule. Training differs in emphasis: PA education is built on a generalist medical model, NP education is built on a nursing model with a population focus chosen at the point of training, which matters most when the seat is narrow. Practice authority and supervision or collaboration requirements also differ by state and by profession. We will tell you which of the two is realistically available in your market at your compensation before you commit the requisition to one of them.

Practicing clinicians. Two of our healthcare recruiters are physician assistants who still see patients, and the third holds a PhD in medical science. They screen for scope, call tolerance and fit before a CV reaches you, which on an advanced-practice search matters more than it does on a physician search: the title covers a much wider range of real-world responsibility.

You see the first vetted, genuinely interested candidates within a week of the brief. Advanced-practice searches usually move faster to signed offer than physician searches, because the pool is larger and growing. Where they slow down is credentialing and, on an interstate move, the practice-authority arrangement. We give you a realistic read on the first call.

No. We do permanent placement only. If what you need is locum coverage while a permanent search runs, we will say so on the first call rather than sell you the wrong thing.

A posting reaches the providers who are actively looking, which in advanced practice is a small and heavily contested slice of the market. The search reaches the ones who are not looking, and the screen decides whether they are worth your time. If the problem is not reach but the offer itself, we would rather tell you that on the first call: sometimes the market answer is that the compensation or the call structure, not the sourcing, is what is holding the seat open.
