Registered nurses
Registered nurse recruiting for hospitals that need experienced RNs
Registered nurse recruiting here means experienced RNs and nursing leadership. A search names the unit, the shift, the licensure compact and why the seats are open, then reaches nurses who are not scrolling job boards.
Which registered nurse roles does a search cover?
Experienced staff RNs, charge nurses, house supervisors, nurse managers and directors. The work starts at the registered nurse and moves up.
Unit context matters. A medical-surgical RN, an ICU RN and an emergency RN are different searches even when the posting uses the same title. The brief should name the ratio, the shift length and the orientation.
Engaged Headhunters was founded in 2022. Searches are run by a recruiter with 17 years in the work.
What should an experienced RN ask before accepting?
Ask about the actual ratio, how often the shift is flexed, who covers charge, and whether differentials are guaranteed or discretionary.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes national wage estimates for registered nurses. Use that table as context. Local differentials change the offer more than the national median does.
- Unit and acuity: what a typical assignment looks like on a Tuesday night.
- Schedule: nights, weekends, on-call and how holidays are assigned.
- Licensure: single-state or compact, and who pays for a new license.
- Support: charge nurse model, educators, and how many travelers are on the unit.
- Pay: base, shift differential, weekend differential and how overtime is calculated.
How does an RN search run?
The hiring leader scopes the unit with us, we approach experienced nurses directly, and both sides see the schedule and the ratio in writing before interviews pile up.
A first conversation with a nurse is confidential. The current employer is not contacted. Outreach to a named employer starts only with the nurse’s permission.
What does RN recruiting cost the employer?
Fees are 15 to 30% of first-year salary, with engagement fees starting at $3,500. Candidates are not charged.
Completed placements carry a replacement guarantee per your engagement agreement.
What do people ask before they start?
Do you recruit aides or licensed practical nurses?
No. Public search work covers registered nurses and above, including charge nurses, managers, directors and advanced practice. Aide and LPN recruiting is not a service we market.
Can an RN explore a move confidentially?
Yes. Book a confidential career call. Your current employer is not contacted, and nothing is shared without your permission.
Do you fill travel RN contracts?
The focus is permanent and long-term RN roles. If a travel contract is the right next step, say so on the call and we will tell you whether we can help.
Where are RN wages published?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook publishes registered nurse wage estimates. Compare an offer with that table and with shift differentials.
