US Healthcare Recruitment · Credentialed Hires for Every Practice Setting
Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pmDiscuss a Requisition

Why we exist

Healthcare hiring has changed. Nursing shortages have hardened into structural gaps, allied-health credentialing pipelines lag demand, and the mainstream medical staffing model has drifted toward pushing volume across the wire. Every hospital chief nursing officer, service-line administrator and medical staff services director we spoke with told us the same thing: the CVs arrive fast, but half the credentials do not clear on verification, life-support certifications have lapsed, compact-license status is misread, and the hire falls out inside the first pay cycle.

Citi Scope Medical Staffing was set up to do the opposite. We are a specialist US healthcare recruitment desk. Twelve clinical and operational sectors, each with its own consultant briefed on the credential ecosystem and the specialty currency requirements. Every candidate on a Citi Scope shortlist has been screened against the actual license, board certification, life-support currency and compact-license portability position for the destination state.

What we do, plainly

We place credentialed clinical and operational hires for United States healthcare providers. Registered nurses and specialty RN, LPN and LVN and nursing support, nurse leadership, advanced practice, respiratory therapy, medical and clinical laboratory science, medical imaging, surgical technology, pharmacy, rehabilitation therapies, clinical and hospital administration, and credentialing and compliance leadership. From bedside credentialed clinician through system-level administrative appointment. One consultant accountable end to end, from intake call through onboarding follow-up.

How we vet

Every candidate on a Citi Scope shortlist has been assessed against the same standard before introduction:

  • State license lookup on the primary state and every compact state the credential is portable to (nursing, pharmacy, therapies, respiratory)
  • Board certification verified against the issuing body (ANCC, AANP, NCCPA, ARRT, ARDMS, ASCP, NBRC, NABP, NCCT, NCCA and the specialty boards)
  • Life-support certification currency: BLS, ACLS, PALS, TNCC, NRP as the role requires, with expiration dates confirmed
  • DEA registration where the role prescribes, and any relevant state-controlled substance registration
  • Sanctions and exclusions checks against OIG LEIE, SAM.gov and the state Medicaid exclusion list
  • National Practitioner Data Bank query where the role warrants it and the candidate consents
  • Current compensation broken down in USD: base, shift differentials, on-call, incentive, sign-on and relocation, with regional and state comparators
  • Notice position, non-compete and non-solicit posture on current employment
  • Reference readiness confirmed before we send the CV

Where the talent comes from

Three overlapping talent pools feed a typical requisition. The active clinical network is the primary source for most roles and covers routine bedside credentialed hires. The passive-market layer, reached through discreet approach in the specialty peer network, is what makes specialty RN, advanced practice and rehabilitation-therapies searches deliver quality shortlists. And the returner and mobility layer, particularly credentialed clinicians relocating between states or coming back to bedside after leadership or industry stints, is a third source we work actively.

Who we work with

Our clients include acute care hospitals, integrated health systems, academic medical centers, ambulatory surgery centers, long-term acute care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, urgent care groups, dialysis networks and home health and hospice agencies. Chief nursing officers, medical directors, human resources leaders and medical staff services directors who want a cleared shortlist that will actually pass credentialing on the first cycle.

Our standards

  • Primary-source everything. If it is issued by a state board, an accrediting body or a certifying organization, we verify it against the issuer.
  • Tell the truth. If a compensation band is light for the state and specialty, we say so before we start sourcing.
  • One consultant, end to end. Same person from intake through onboarding follow-up.
  • Discretion by default. Passive-market approach work is confidential. Client identity is withheld until you give express permission.
  • Stand behind the work. Written replacement guarantee on every placement. No clawback games.
