Surgical Services & Perioperative Recruiting Firm
Surgical services recruiting is about keeping the OR running: directors of perioperative services, OR nurses, RNFAs, surgical technologists, PACU nurses, and surgical advanced practice providers. Med-Hunters searches those markets nationally for hospitals, ASCs, and specialty surgical programs.

The specialty market
Why this specialty search is difficult
Experienced circulating nurses and perioperative leaders are not browsing job boards. Block time, surgical specialty case mix, call, leadership stability, and whether the department is adding rooms or recovering from turnover all affect who will consider a move.
When focused search matters
When employers engage Med-Hunters
OR expansion, a vacant director of surgical services, RNFA coverage gaps, or persistent circulating-nurse vacancies are the usual hiring triggers.

Common questions
Specialty Recruiting FAQ
Do you recruit surgeons?
We do not place surgeons. Surgical services recruiting here means the perioperative team, first assists, surgical APPs, and surgical leadership that surround the service line.
Do you work with ambulatory surgery centers?
Yes. ASC and hospital-based OR searches are both in scope when the hire is permanent and specialty-aligned.
Specialty knowledge. Direct search. Better-aligned hires.
Surgical services employer perspective
What people say about working with Med-Hunters
Read more testimonialsJoeI would be extremely remiss if I didn’t take a few minutes to send you a short note thanking you for your service and assistance in our recruitments needs. Specifically, my department required three physician assistants for cardiothoracic surgery, two on the adult service and one on the pediatric service. Your firm not only exceeded my expectations by providing three highly qualified candidates, but the time frame in which this was accomplished was truly exceptional, about three months from start to finish. Prior to using your firm, my past experience with search firms and recruiters was horrid. I wouldn’t hesitate to use your firm again to meet my recruitment needs. Again, thank you for your assistance and service. You have my permission to use me as a reference; I’ll be more than happy to speak with any organization on your behalf.
