What Is Direct Hire Support?
Direct hire support is a clinical recruiting service designed to help healthcare organizations fill permanent, full-time roles with high-quality professionals. Unlike contingency recruiting or temporary staffing, direct hire focuses on long-term team building, matching you with candidates who are ready to grow with your healthcare organization.
We’re not just making placements - we’re building partnerships.
We recruit for a full range of clinical and allied health positions, including:
- Physicians
- Registered Nurses (RNs), LPNs and CNAs
- Therapists, counselors and social workers
- Telehealth professionals
- Medical Assistants, Technicians and more
We’re all in when it comes to supporting your direct hire needs.

Direct hire support is built for individual or targeted hiring needs, one role or a handful of openings. RPO outsources an organization's entire recruiting function on an ongoing basis. Optigy offers both, depending on the scale of support needed.
Most direct hire placements take 30 to 60 days from search kickoff to signed offer, depending on the role and market. Optigy's targeted sourcing approach is built to reduce time-to-fill without sacrificing candidate quality.
