For Healthcare Organizations

Psychologist Recruiters

Doctoral-level psychologists are a small, specialized workforce, and the testing, neuropsychology, and health psychology skills organizations need are rarer still. MedStaff Nationwide recruits licensed psychologists through direct outreach into that community.

What makes psychologist hiring hard

Testing and assessment skills are scarce

Organizations needing psychological or neuropsychological assessment compete for a very small pool. We know where those candidates are.

Licensure and PSYPACT

Interjurisdictional practice rules affect telehealth roles. We confirm licensure pathways for the states you serve.

Academic and clinical balance

Many psychologists want research or teaching time. We clarify what your role offers before the interview.

How we vet every psychologist

  • Doctoral degree (PhD or PsyD) from an APA-accredited program verified
  • State psychology license and PSYPACT eligibility confirmed
  • Assessment and testing competencies documented
  • Specialty training (neuropsychology, pediatric, health) checked
  • Supervision credentials verified for training roles
  • References from department chairs or clinical directors

FAQ

Psychologist recruiting, answered

How much does it cost to hire psychologists through MedStaff Nationwide?
We work on contingency: there is no retainer and no fee until your psychologist 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 psychologist search take?
Our average time-to-fill across permanent clinical searches is 27 days from signed agreement to accepted offer. Psychologists searches in competitive markets can run longer; your recruiter sets a realistic timeline during intake and reports against it weekly.
Do you recruit neuropsychologists?
Yes. Neuropsychology and assessment-focused roles are among our more specialized psychology searches, and we recruit for them nationwide.
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%.
