For Healthcare Organizations
Behavioral Health Recruitment
Behavioral health is where MedStaff Nationwide started and where we still run more searches than any other category. Our recruiters talk to psychiatrists, PMHNPs, therapists, and psychologists every day, so a new search begins with warm relationships rather than a job board.
We stand behind every placement — any candidate who doesn't complete onboarding is replaced at no cost.

States with active behavioral health searches
What makes behavioral health recruiting different
Teams, not single hires
Most behavioral health searches come in sets: a psychiatrist to lead, PMHNPs to carry volume, therapists to complete the program. We run them together so the pieces fit.
Supervision and scope decide fit
Collaborative agreements, prescriptive authority, and clinical supervision rules vary by state and shape who can join your team. We screen against the states you serve.
Telehealth is the competition
National platforms recruit the same clinicians with flexible schedules. We help you position caseload, support, and mission to compete.

FAQ
Behavioral Health recruiting, answered
- How are behavioral health recruiting fees structured?
- Contingency. There is no retainer and no fee until the clinician starts. The placement fee is a percentage of first-year base compensation, agreed in writing before the search opens, and every placement carries a replacement guarantee.
- Which behavioral health roles do you recruit?
- Psychiatrists across subspecialties, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, licensed therapists (LCSW, LPC, LMFT), psychologists, and behavioral health medical directors and clinical leaders.
- Do you recruit for telepsychiatry programs?
- Yes. We recruit fully remote, hybrid, and on-site telepsychiatry clinicians and confirm licensure in every state a program serves before presenting a candidate.
- How long does a behavioral health search take?
- Our average time-to-fill across permanent clinical searches is 27 days from signed agreement to accepted offer. Psychiatrist searches in competitive markets can run longer; your recruiter sets a realistic timeline at intake and reports against it weekly.
