Common Questions
Answers to what healthcare procurement leaders, HR teams, and administrators typically ask when evaluating staffing partners.
We recruit for a wide range of virtual care roles, including Physicians (Psychiatry, Primary Care, Urgent Care), Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Registered Nurses (Tele ICU, Case Management), Licensed Clinical Social Workers, and Care Coordinators. Our Area of Recruitment (AOR) expertise covers the entire U.S., matching professionals with facilities building or expanding their telehealth teams.
We provide comprehensive nationwide telehealth recruitment services. Our AOR strategy leverages deep, localized market knowledge across key U.S. regions. While our reach extends to all 50 states, our dedicated teams optimize sourcing and placement within specific geo-targeted markets to ensure the best match between a facility's needs and a clinician's location and licensure profile.
Yes, we provide comprehensive licensure and credentialing services. We deliver a personalized roadmap for your target states, including guidance for Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) and Medical Licensure Compact (MLC) jurisdictions. Our team manages the entire process, from applications to verification, to reduce your time-to-start and simplify multi-state practice.
Our streamlined AOR (Assignment of Resources) process starts with a consultation to define your needs. We then use geo-targeted sourcing to present pre-vetted, licensed candidates. We manage screening, interviews, offers, and onboarding for a seamless hire, regardless of location.
Partnering with a specialized agency like DirectShifts offers distinct advantages: deep industry expertise, a vast network of pre-qualified telehealth professionals, and advanced geo-targeting to find the right talent quickly. Our focused approach reduces time-to-hire, ensures compliance with state telehealth regulations, and improves retention by making culturally and logistically sound matches between providers and facilities across all regions.
While both DirectShifts and OpenLoop provide telehealth staffing solutions, DirectShifts offers several key differentiators:
Comprehensive AOR (Area of Recruitment) Strategy: We provide deep, localized market knowledge across all 50 states with dedicated regional teams, not just a broad national approach
Full-Service Credentialing Support: Our white-glove licensure and credentialing services include personalized state-by-state roadmaps and NLC/MLC compact guidance
Broader Role Diversity: Beyond physicians and advanced practice providers, we recruit for the full telehealth care team including RNs, LCSWs, and Care Coordinators
Facility-First Partnership Model: We work as an extension of your HR team with customized recruitment strategies, rather than operating primarily as a clinician marketplace
Permanent and Long-Term Placement Focus: While we offer flexible arrangements, we specialize in building sustainable telehealth teams, not just shift-based coverage
DirectShifts brings specialized telehealth expertise that sets us apart from general healthcare staffing firms like Medix:
Specialized Telehealth Division: Our dedicated virtual care recruitment team focuses exclusively on remote healthcare roles, with deep expertise in the nuances of telehealth delivery
Multi-State Licensure Expertise: We navigate the complex landscape of state-by-state telehealth regulations and compact licensure as a core competency, not an add-on service
Technology Stack Integration Knowledge: We match candidates based on familiarity with specific telehealth platforms (Epic, Zoom for Healthcare, Doxy.me, etc.)
Virtual Care Competency Assessment: Beyond clinical skills, we evaluate candidates for digital communication excellence, remote workflow efficiency, and virtual bedside manner
Dedicated Telehealth Account Managers: Your recruitment partner specializes in virtual care, staying current on evolving telehealth trends, reimbursement changes, and regulatory updates
Yes, DirectShifts offers flexible engagement models to meet diverse facility needs:
Permanent Placements: Our specialty—building long-term telehealth teams with comprehensive onboarding and retention support
Locum Tenens/Temporary Coverage: Short-term and contract positions for coverage gaps, seasonal demand, or program launches
Temp-to-Perm: Trial arrangements that allow facilities to evaluate fit before permanent commitment
Hybrid Models: Combining in-person and virtual care roles for facilities transitioning to or expanding telehealth services
Unlike competitor platforms that may prioritize one model over others, we customize our approach based on your strategic goals, whether that's rapid shift coverage or building a stable, long-term virtual care workforce.
DirectShifts offers transparent, competitive pricing with exceptional value:
No Hidden Platform Fees: Unlike some marketplace models, we provide straightforward fee structures without surprise technology charges or subscription costs
Customized Pricing Models: Choose from contingency-based recruitment fees, retained search options, or managed service partnerships based on your hiring volume and needs
Volume Discounts: Facilities building entire telehealth departments benefit from scaled pricing that rewards partnership
ROI-Focused: Our reduced time-to-hire, lower turnover rates, and quality-of-match focus deliver measurable cost savings beyond the initial placement fee
We're happy to provide a detailed cost comparison based on your specific hiring requirements.
