Behavioral health recruiters for public programs and clinics

Behavioral health recruiters for public programs and clinics

Licensed clinicians and support staff for public behavioral health programs, community clinics, and the health systems that serve them.

Meeting the demand for behavioral healthcare

Demand for behavioral health services has outrun the licensed workforce available to deliver them, and public programs feel it first. Caseloads are heavier, licensure and supervision requirements are stricter, and the populations served are often the least able to absorb a gap in care. Filling these roles takes a recruiter who understands the licensure landscape and the public program environment — not a generalist working from a job board. 

We have staffed behavioral health inside county public health programs, including Substance Abuse Prevention and Control work for a county public health department, alongside community clinics and health systems nationwide.

  • Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners 
  • Psychologists and neuropsychologists 
  • LCSWs, LMFTs and LPCCs 
  • Psychiatric nurses and psychiatric technicians  
  • Substance abuse and recovery counselors 
  • Case managers and care coordinators 
  • Peer support specialists and community health workers 
  • Crisis counselors and behavioral health technicians  

Where we place them

  • County behavioral health and public health departments 
  • Community mental health clinics and FQHCs
