Physician Recruitment Firm
Physician recruitment firm for hospitals, health systems, and medical groups
MedStaff Nationwide is a physician recruitment firm built for permanent placement. We source, vet, and present board-certified physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants on contingency, with a 27-day average time-to-fill and a replacement guarantee on every hire.
We stand behind every placement — any candidate who doesn't complete onboarding is replaced at no cost.
Why organizations hire us
Retained-search discipline, contingency terms
Most physician recruiting firms either charge a retainer up front or run a high-volume contingency desk that forwards resumes. We do neither. Every search gets a dedicated recruiter, a structured intake, direct outreach to physicians who are not applying anywhere, and a full credential and reference check before you see a candidate.
You pay only when a clinician starts, and if they do not complete onboarding we re-run the search at no cost.
Right now we are running 159 active physician searches in markets including Southampton, Chicago, Valparaiso, and Columbus, with posted compensation from $22k–$700k.

FAQ
Physician recruiting, answered
- What does a physician recruitment firm do?
- A physician recruitment firm sources, screens, and presents physicians for permanent positions on behalf of a hospital, health system, or medical group. MedStaff Nationwide handles the full search: defining the role, direct outreach to passive candidates, credential and reference verification, interview coordination, offer support, and follow-through after the start date.
- How much do physician recruiters charge?
- MedStaff Nationwide works on contingency. There is no retainer and no fee until a physician starts. The placement fee is a percentage of first-year base compensation, agreed in writing before the search opens, and every placement includes a replacement guarantee.
- How long does it take to recruit a physician?
- The national average for a physician search is several months. Our average time-to-fill across permanent clinical searches is 27 days from signed agreement to accepted offer, with credentialing and licensing started in parallel so the start date holds.
- Is a contingency search as thorough as a retained search?
- Ours is. Every search gets a dedicated recruiter, a structured intake, direct sourcing from our 190,000-candidate database and outreach, and full vetting before presentation. The difference is that you pay only when a candidate starts.
- Which specialties do you recruit?
- Psychiatry, family medicine, internal medicine, hospital medicine, cardiology, OB/GYN, pediatrics, surgery, and other physician specialties, plus nurse practitioners, physician assistants, CRNAs, nurses, therapists, psychologists, dentists, and dental hygienists.
- Do you recruit in my state?
- We recruit nationwide and have placed clinicians in 38 states. Each state page below shows the searches we are currently running there.
