Nurse Practitioner Recruiters

Nurse practitioners are the fastest-growing clinical workforce in the country and one of the hardest to hire well, because certification, experience, and state scope rules make every NP role different. MedStaff Nationwide is a nurse practitioner recruitment firm that treats each search as the specific role it is.

What makes nurse practitioner hiring hard

Certification has to match the population

An FNP cannot fill an inpatient acute care role in many states. We screen certification against your patient population before anything else.

Experience is easy to overstate

New graduates and seasoned NPs both apply to the same postings. We verify years of independent practice and the settings behind them.

State scope of practice

Full, reduced, and restricted practice states change what an NP can do for you. Our recruiters know the rules where you operate.

How we vet every nurse practitioner

  • National certification (ANCC, AANP, PNCB, NCC) verified for the population you serve
  • APRN license and prescriptive authority in your state confirmed
  • DEA registration and controlled-substance experience documented
  • Years of independent practice and settings verified
  • Collaborative agreement needs identified where your state requires them
  • References from collaborating physicians or clinical leaders

FAQ

Nurse Practitioner recruiting, answered

How much does it cost to hire nurse practitioners through MedStaff Nationwide?
We work on contingency: there is no retainer and no fee until your nurse practitioner 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 nurse practitioner search take?
Our average time-to-fill across permanent clinical searches is 27 days from signed agreement to accepted offer. Nurse practitioners searches in competitive markets can run longer; your recruiter sets a realistic timeline during intake and reports against it weekly.
Which nurse practitioner specialties do you recruit?
All of them. Our largest NP search lines are psychiatric mental health, family, adult-gerontology, and acute care, and we run dedicated pages for PMHNP, FNP, and CRNA recruiting.
Do you recruit physician assistants too?
Yes. Many of our NP searches are open to physician assistants as well. See our physician assistant recruiters page for that specialty.
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%.
