You might not think a travel nurse agency is where you can find direct hire clinicians. But here’s the thing: Medical Solutions is so much more than that. Historically known for placing travel clinicians, Medical Solutions is one of the nation’s largest and most trusted healthcare workforce solutions providers—providing workforce consulting services and technology in addition to staffing and recruiting services—and is uniquely positioned to support all types of hiring for nurses and allied healthcare professionals, including both domestic and international direct hire, which might be just what your facility needs.
The Evolving Direct Hire Solution
According to the American Hospital Association, hiring challenges are at an all-time high, with retirement and turnover leading to 1.1 million RN vacancies and 500,000 allied health vacancies. Many hospitals and healthcare systems are reevaluating how they find and keep talent.
Direct hire isn’t new, but the approach to it is evolving. Not all staffing agencies are equipped to reliably provide direct hire as a solution. You want to work with a full-service workforce partner who understands your team’s short-term and long-term pressures and will deeply dive into your organization’s unique business needs.
How the Right Travel Staffing Agency Can Offer Permanent Roles
Medical Solutions, a leading healthcare workforce solutions, has decades of history in quickly filling critical needs, so we already have sourcing strategies, vetting processes, and networks in place. That foundation translates well into direct hire.
Medical Solutions uses national sourcing, affiliate partners, and even global networks to find qualified clinicians for direct hire, or permanent, roles. That kind of reach helps facilities that may be struggling to attract candidates locally, or don’t have the time or resources to run lengthy searches independently.
A Thoughtful Process, Not Just a Placement
Medical Solutions knows that placing direct hire nurses or allied healthcare professionals isn’t just about filling a gap. It’s about finding someone who will thrive in your environment, contribute to your team, and stick around. That’s why, among our breadth of services, our direct hire nursing agency offering includes thorough screening, proactive pipelining, and transparency all throughout the process.
The Role of Your Experienced Team
Your team still plays an important role in interviews, onboarding, and management, but Medical Solutions is here to take on the heavy lifting upfront. With a 30-day guarantee built in, there’s shared accountability for how the hire performs after they start.
What Sets This Offering Apart?
One major difference is the level of support. With Medical Solutions, you’re not just getting a direct hire recruiter, you’re getting a team that understands the healthcare landscape, keeps an eye on industry trends, and knows what’s at stake when a hire doesn’t work out. Medical Solutions comes to you with a consultative approach to intake, to align hiring needs and expectations.
How We Recruit
From there, our process includes:
Step 1: Candidate Screening: An in-depth resume interview to identify candidate motivators and full work history.
Step 2: Candidate Submittal: Pre-closed candidate(s) and portfolio presented directly to the hiring manager.
Step 3: Premier Interview: The interview process is designed to mitigate candidate falloff and increase compensation expectations due to competing opportunities.
Step 4: Offer: Facilitation of verbal offer and acceptance, plus presenting the formal written offer.
Step 5: Pre-Start Checklist: Completed with the manager, then reviewed with a clinician.
Step 6: Post-Start Care: Pre-scheduled check-ins with the hiring manager and clinician.
Medical Solutions also specializes in core clinical roles and can help with harder-to-fill needs, whether in a rural facility or a high-volume urban hospital. Because Medical Solutions works with clinicians across all settings—from PRN to travel to perm—it brings a deeper understanding of what today’s workforce is looking for.
Balancing Cost and Value
Hiring mistakes can be expensive, both financially and operationally. That’s why Medical Solutions believes our 25% fee reflects the cost of hiring and the value of getting it right. And if a placement doesn’t stick, our pro-rated refund policy helps keep things fair.
It’s about finding the right balance between your team’s responsibilities and ours, so you can confidently move forward.
The Bottom Line
Direct hire isn’t just about filling a position. It’s about building your team for the long haul. Partnering with a workforce solutions partner that already knows how to find and place great clinicians can give you an edge in a challenging market, far more than trying to find a traditional staffing agency for direct hire.
