Psychiatry Staffing

Hire a Psychiatrist for Your Outpatient Practice

Psychiatry is one of the most acute shortages in American healthcare — 65% of nonmetropolitan counties have no psychiatrist at all. We recruit nationally for both direct hire and locum coverage.

A National Shortage

By 2037, projections show more than half of adult psychiatry demand will remain unmet nationally.

Board-certified psychiatrists (MD/DO) sourced through targeted outreach, not passive job postings.

FAQ

Hiring a Psychiatrist — Common Questions

How long does a psychiatrist search take?

Typically 8–12+ weeks given how small and competitive the candidate pool is nationally. We recommend starting the search as early as possible.

Do you offer locum/contract psychiatry coverage?

Yes — locum coverage can often be arranged faster than a direct hire search and is billed on an hourly or daily basis for the duration of the engagement.

Can you help with credentialing and licensure?

Yes — we support the credentialing process alongside your team so a signed offer doesn't stall before day one.
