Our approach to recruiting

What sits behind a referral.

Before recommending someone, we would look at the work they would do, the experience they bring, and any questions that need follow-up.

How we would organize a candidate review.

The process

From the first conversation
to the hiring decision.

Before recruiting begins, we would agree on the role, confirm we can support the work, and put responsibilities in writing. Clinic searches will open after our Nevada employment-agency license is approved.

  1. Define the work

    Review the care setting, specialty, schedule, location, credentials, and hiring timeline. Agree on what the role actually requires.

  2. Find local candidates

    Look for people whose experience, preferred location, and availability fit the role.

  3. Review experience and credentials

    Review the experience and clinical skills needed for the role. Track license, certification, and exclusion checks, including anything still to complete.

  4. Share the review

    Give the hiring team the review notes and questions to follow up. The facility makes its own hiring, credentialing, and clinical acceptance decisions.

Clinical review

Experience in context.

Our approach to clinical screening draws on nursing education and specialty-care experience.

We would discuss the patients the candidate has cared for, the complexity of that care, and the responsibilities they have handled.

  1. Specialty and care setting

    Relevant experience, patient needs, and the level of responsibility the candidate has handled.

  2. Clinical judgment

    Role-specific questions about prioritization, recognizing changes, and knowing when to escalate.

  3. Communication

    Examples of handoff, teamwork, and raising concerns, with the reviewer's observations recorded.

The screening record

Know what still
needs a closer look.

A useful referral explains what was reviewed and what still needs attention.

Clinical evaluation and credential verification are distinct steps. Neither replaces the facility's own credentialing, privileges where applicable, or onboarding requirements.

Missing information, checks awaiting completion, and questions for the hiring team's interview or credentialing review.

Common questions

Before we begin.

Who employs the person, where they work, and what happens next.

Who would employ the clinician?

For a permanent clinic hire, the clinician would work for the clinic or practice. For a VA contract placement, DPHC would be the W-2 employer. For state healthcare roles, we would agree on the employer and employment terms with the buyer before recruiting begins.

Is this travel staffing?

Our focus is local work. We do not offer rotating travel assignments, housing packages, or travel stipends. Each service page explains the locations we're focusing on and what needs to be in place before work begins.

Are candidates charged a fee?

No. Applicants are never charged a fee. You can send your resume to the recruiting team, even though we have no open positions today.

How are fees and replacement terms agreed?

We would agree in writing on the search, fees, responsibilities, and any terms for replacing a hire before work begins. Clinic searches will open after our Nevada employment-agency license is approved.
