Patient capacity
Fewer appointments, longer waitlists, lost referrals, and patients seeking care elsewhere.
For employers
Every week your PMHNP role stays open, the business keeps absorbing the cost.
Cornerstone finds permanent clinical talent who can deliver, align with the mission, and stay—so you stop paying for the vacancy and avoid paying twice for the wrong hire.
The vacancy is not neutral
The position may be unfilled. The expense is already active.
Payroll savings rarely tell the real story. Clinical vacancies reduce revenue capacity, increase coverage pressure, strain retention, and delay the programs your organization needs to grow.
Build a focused search brief Estimate vacancy impactCoverage cost
Overtime, locum spend, leadership pulled into coverage, and existing clinicians carrying more.
Growth delayed
Programs, locations, and service lines cannot expand without the clinical capacity to support them.
Turnover risk
The longer the team absorbs the gap, the greater the chance another good clinician burns out and leaves.
The Cornerstone difference
A body can cover a schedule. The right person helps carry the mission.
We do not measure progress by how many résumés reach your inbox. We measure it by how clearly each candidate matches the clinical work, the team, the values, and the practical realities of the role.
That means fewer introductions, more context, and a far stronger reason to believe the hire can last.
Start a focused searchOur vetting standard
Three questions before every introduction.
Credentials open the conversation. The whole fit determines whether the person should enter your process.
Can they deliver?
Clinical depth, patient population, scope confidence, judgment, documentation, and setting readiness.
Will they belong?
Care philosophy, leadership preferences, communication style, values, and connection to the mission.
Can they stay?
Schedule, compensation, location, autonomy, support, family realities, and long-term growth aligned early.

Before we begin
Clear answers for a serious search.
What types of roles do you recruit for?
Our primary focus is permanent PMHNP recruitment nationwide. We also take on select specialized RN searches in behavioral health, clinical leadership, and other high-need clinical settings.
Do you provide temporary or per-diem staffing?
No. Cornerstone is built for permanent direct-hire work. That focus lets us give more attention to mission alignment, candidate experience, and the conditions that support retention.
How do you vet candidates?
We evaluate the actual clinical environment and scope—not only credentials. We also explore care philosophy, working style, motivations, leadership fit, schedule, compensation, geography, and the reasons a clinician would genuinely stay.
