Answers before we talk.

We recruit nurse practitioners across specialties, including psychiatric-mental health, family, adult-gerontology, pediatric, women’s health, and neonatal roles. We also recruit behavioral-health nurses, psychiatrists, psychiatric PAs, licensed therapists and counselors, and consider select primary-care PA searches. Every search is assessed against its clinical scope and credential requirements. See our facilities and specialties page for the settings and roles we focus on.

No. Cornerstone is focused on permanent direct-hire recruitment. That allows us to spend more time on clinical readiness, mission alignment, practical fit, and the conditions that support long-term retention.

We focus on a select few carefully matched candidates rather than sending a stack of résumés. We explore clinical readiness, the employer’s mission, and the clinician’s values together. Each introduction explains why the person could contribute to your purpose and why your organization could be the right place for them.

We discuss relevant clinical experience, patient populations, scope, care setting, judgment, and communication. We also explore schedule, compensation, location, and the reasons a clinician would consider the role. Our screening does not replace the employer’s credentialing or licensing review.

You receive more than a résumé. We provide context on the clinician's relevant experience, interest in the role, clinical and cultural alignment, practical requirements, timing, and any potential concern worth discussing early.

Timing depends on the market, location, compensation, schedule, licensing requirements, and how clearly the opportunity is positioned. We move with urgency, but we will not sacrifice fit simply to produce activity. We set realistic expectations after the initial search conversation.

Yes. Cornerstone considers permanent searches across the United States in behavioral health and community-based care. State licensing, location, and any remote-work requirements are discussed for each role.

Yes. We can discuss sensitive searches privately and establish clear communication boundaries before outreach begins. Candidate confidentiality and the organization's need for discretion are both treated seriously.

Our direct-hire fee covers role discovery, market positioning, targeted sourcing, candidate engagement, screening, fit assessment, interview coordination, offer support, and transition communication. The exact fee and guarantee terms are documented clearly before the search begins.

Our employer agreement includes defined replacement-search terms. We review the details before launch so expectations are clear on both sides.

Not necessarily. We can discuss the structure that best fits the difficulty and urgency of the search. Regardless of structure, clear communication about candidate ownership and active pipelines helps protect everyone's time.

We begin with a focused conversation about the clinical work, patient population, schedule, compensation, location, team, leadership, mission, interview process, and what has made the role difficult to fill. The stronger the brief, the stronger the search.

No. There is no fee to the clinician. Our role is to understand what you want, represent your experience accurately, connect you with aligned permanent opportunities, and help you make an informed decision.

Yes. You decide what is shared, when it is shared, and which organizations may receive your information. We do not send your résumé or identifying details to an employer without your permission.

No. Many strong clinicians are open to the right conversation without actively applying. We can learn what would make a move worthwhile and reach out only when an opportunity appears meaningfully aligned.

A posting shows only what is public. We build the search around your clinical interests, schedule, compensation, geography, autonomy, values, and long-term goals. We also advocate directly for the experience behind your résumé and help surface context before you invest in interviews.

We discuss your clinical background, licenses, patient populations, preferred setting, schedule, location, compensation, leadership preferences, care philosophy, career goals, and practical needs. You remain in control of what is shared externally.

Yes. Part of our work is targeted outreach to organizations that fit your background and goals. When appropriate and with your permission, we can introduce your experience confidentially even when no public posting captures the opportunity you want.

Yes. We help clarify the story behind your résumé, identify the most relevant strengths for each opportunity, and prepare a focused candidate presentation. We can also flag résumé areas that may need clearer context.

Yes. We share available context, prepare you for the interview, keep communication moving, help you evaluate the full opportunity, and support clear conversations around compensation, expectations, and transition timing.

Our focus is permanent direct-hire nurse practitioner and behavioral-health work across primary, acute, specialty, and community care. We match each search to its patient population, clinical scope, and required experience. Roles may be full-time or part-time and onsite, hybrid, or remote when the employer and licensing structure support it.

No. A placement is successful only when the decision is right for both sides. We will give honest perspective, but the final choice remains yours and your information stays protected throughout the process.

Cornerstone has a Christian foundation that shapes how we serve: integrity, stewardship, candor, dignity, and care for people. We work respectfully with employers and clinicians of every background, and faith remains a quiet foundation rather than a condition of partnership.

Alignment works in both directions: the clinician should connect with the organization’s purpose, and the organization should reflect the clinician’s values and approach to care. We explore patient care, leadership, teamwork, and expectations in practice. It does not require identical backgrounds or a shared faith.

Candidate information is shared only for legitimate recruiting purposes and with appropriate permission. Confidential search details are handled deliberately, and we avoid circulating résumés or sensitive information simply to create volume.

We review your message and respond by email to arrange a focused conversation. Employers can expect questions about the role and business impact; clinicians can expect questions about their ideal role and long-term goals.

Use the contact page or email recruitment@cornerstonetalentgrp.com. Tell us whether you are hiring, considering a career move, or have another question, and include enough context for us to make the first conversation useful.
