Why a Local Firm

We know the Valley because we work in it.

  • We meet your team in person.

    Before we bring your search to the market, we sit down with your leaders, meet your clinical team and learn the details that decide a good fit.

  • We screen for the commute.

    We don’t pitch candidates who live 45 minutes away. We know that long commutes lead to rapid turnover.

  • We know what Valley practices offer.

    Because we only recruit in Arizona, we know what competing practices are offering and how to position your clinic to win top talent.

Questions about recruiting in the Phoenix area

Which parts of the Valley do you recruit in?

Across the whole Valley. Our office is in Gilbert, and we have placed hires or recruited in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, Queen Creek, Glendale, Peoria, Surprise, Sun City, Sun City West, Goodyear, Avondale and Buckeye.

Beyond the Valley, we recruit for employers in Tucson, Prescott, Flagstaff, Casa Grande and communities across the rest of Arizona.

Where we have placed and recruited

Is HealthOp a staffing agency or a recruiting firm?

Both. We recruit people you hire directly onto your own team, from medical assistants and nurses to physicians and executives.

And when you need someone in the seat now, we staff it: per diem and short-term shifts, longer contracts, locum physicians, NPs and PAs, interim leaders and temp-to-hire. Arizona healthcare is our entire focus.

Direct-to-Hire RecruitingHealthcare Staffing

What does it cost to work with HealthOp?

It depends on how you hire. For direct-hire searches there are no upfront fees: you pay only when we deliver the right hire, and every placement is backed by our standard 12-month replacement guarantee.

For continuous or high-volume hiring, Embedded Recruiting (RPO) is one flat monthly retainer with unlimited hires and no per-placement fees.

How quickly can you fill a role?

It depends on the role. Some Valley searches have closed in three to five weeks, timed from the day the search opened to the day the candidate accepted the offer: a chief operating officer for a Phoenix neurology practice, a primary care physician in Surprise, and a dermatology nurse practitioner or PA in Chandler.

Recent placements

How do you make sure a hire will stay?

By screening for the things that predict leaving. Commute: we do not pitch candidates who live 45 minutes away. Pay: we make sure salary expectations match your budget before the first interview. Culture: we find people who thrive in your kind of environment, whether that is a fast-paced urgent care or a quiet specialty clinic.

Can you hire for several locations at once?

Yes. For ongoing hiring across locations, our Embedded Recruiting service puts a recruiting team inside your organization: you pay one retainer and hire as many people as you need.
