Retained Search

Find the People Your Most Important Roles Require.

When the role matters, recruit for it strategically.

The problem

Critical clinical and leadership roles rarely fill from job postings alone. The right people are often not actively looking, and a transactional search sends résumés rather than solving the vacancy.

Who it's for

Behavioral-health organizations filling positions where a wrong hire, or a long vacancy, affects clinical operations, access, or leadership continuity.

Roles

  • Psychiatrists
  • Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners
  • Physicians
  • Physician Assistants
  • Licensed therapists
  • Social workers
  • Clinical leaders
  • Behavioral-health executives

Targeted sourcing
