CRNA Recruiters

Certified registered nurse anesthetists are among the hardest permanent hires in a hospital, and the candidates who are open to moving are rarely the ones applying online. MedStaff Nationwide recruits CRNAs directly, through referrals and long-standing relationships across the anesthesia community.

States with active crna searches

What makes crna hiring hard

Practice model is the deciding factor

Independent, care-team, and medically directed models attract different CRNAs. Getting that right early avoids a declined offer after three interviews.

Locum rates set expectations

CRNAs know what locum work pays. We help you build a permanent package, with schedule and call, that competes on total value.

Credentialing and privileges take time

Hospital privileging can stretch a start date. We manage the file with the candidate so nothing waits on a missing document.

How we vet every crna

  • NBCRNA certification and recertification status verified
  • APRN and RN licenses in your state confirmed
  • Case mix experience (cardiac, OB, pediatric, regional) documented
  • Practice-model preference matched to your department
  • Call and shift expectations confirmed in writing
  • References from anesthesiologists or chief CRNAs

FAQ

CRNA recruiting, answered

How much does it cost to hire CRNAs through MedStaff Nationwide?
We work on contingency: there is no retainer and no fee until your CRNA starts. The placement fee is a percentage of first-year base compensation, agreed in writing before the search begins, and every placement carries a replacement guarantee.
How long does a CRNA search take?
Our average time-to-fill across permanent clinical searches is 27 days from signed agreement to accepted offer. CRNAs searches in competitive markets can run longer; your recruiter sets a realistic timeline during intake and reports against it weekly.
Do you recruit CRNAs for independent-practice settings?
Yes. We recruit for independent, care-team, and medically directed practices and screen each candidate for the model they want before presenting them.
What happens if the clinician leaves?
Every placement is covered by our replacement guarantee. If a placed clinician does not complete onboarding, we re-run the search at no additional cost. Our 12-month retention rate across placements is 96%.
