Psychiatrist Recruiters
Psychiatry is the specialty we built MedStaff Nationwide on. Our recruiters spend every day talking to board-certified and board-eligible psychiatrists about what would make them move, which means when your search opens we are not starting from a job board.
We stand behind every placement — any candidate who doesn't complete onboarding is replaced at no cost.

What makes psychiatrist hiring hard
Demand outstrips supply in nearly every market
Most psychiatrists already have several open offers. A posting alone rarely produces a candidate who is both qualified and genuinely available.
Setting and schedule decide the outcome
Inpatient call, patient volume, and supervision expectations for APRNs are the details that lose candidates late. We surface them in the first conversation, not the last.
Credentialing runs long
State licensing, DEA registration, and payer enrollment can add months. We start the paperwork in parallel with the interview process so the start date holds.
How we vet every psychiatrist
- Board certification or eligibility (ABPN) verified
- Active state licenses and DEA confirmed, with pending applications tracked
- Subspecialty fellowship training checked against the role
- Malpractice history and references from supervising clinicians
- Telehealth experience and EHR familiarity documented
- Motivation, geography, and compensation expectations confirmed before presentation

FAQ
Psychiatrist recruiting, answered
- How much does it cost to hire psychiatrists through MedStaff Nationwide?
- We work on contingency: there is no retainer and no fee until your psychiatrist 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 psychiatrist search take?
- Our average time-to-fill across permanent clinical searches is 27 days from signed agreement to accepted offer. Psychiatrists searches in competitive markets can run longer; your recruiter sets a realistic timeline during intake and reports against it weekly.
- Do you recruit child and adolescent psychiatrists?
- Yes. Child and adolescent psychiatry is one of our most active search lines, alongside adult, geriatric, and addiction psychiatry. We also recruit psychiatric nurse practitioners for teams building a full behavioral health service.
- Can you fill telepsychiatry roles?
- Yes. We recruit for fully remote, hybrid, and on-site telepsychiatry programs and screen every candidate for licensure in the states your program serves.
- 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%.
