Our Process

How a Saltlanding search works.

01

Discovery

We learn your practice — clinical philosophy, culture, team dynamics, patient population — not just the job description.

02

Targeted Search

We source from our network, LinkedIn, clinical associations, and direct outreach — passive and active candidates alike.

03

Clinical Vetting

Our PMHNP consultant co-screens psychiatric candidates. Every clinician is evaluated for specialty fit and culture alignment.

04

Curated Match

We present 2–4 highly qualified candidates — never a bulk stack. You receive our full assessment with each profile.

05

Offer & Close

We facilitate the offer, support negotiation on both sides, and guide through acceptance and start date confirmation.

06

90-Day Guarantee

Every placement is backed by a 90-day guarantee. If it doesn't work, we make it right — no additional charge.

Beyond Licensed Clinicians

High-Demand Clinical & Support Specialties.

Behavioral health facilities don't run on licensed clinicians alone. We also staff the direct-care and support roles that keep units operating and compliant — reach out for a custom quote.

🩹

Psychiatric RN & LPN Staffing

Specialized floor nurses for inpatient psychiatric facilities and crisis stabilization units, where turnover runs high and clinical fit matters.

🧑‍⚕️

Behavioral Health Techs (BHT) / CNA

Direct-care tech support for mental health units — the roles facilities can't legally operate below minimum staffing ratios without.

🤝

Peer Support Specialist Staffing

Certified Peer Specialists (CPS-MH) for community-based behavioral health systems and non-profits expanding to meet modern compliance metrics.

For Employers

Build a Sustainable Clinical Core with Elite Behavioral Health Talent.

We source, vet, and place high-performing Psychiatrists, PMHNPs, and Psychiatric PAs for direct hire. Whether you need permanent long-term pillars or definitive short-term placements, we deliver pre-vetted professionals built to fit your culture.

Secure Your Next Hire

The Direct-Hire Advantage

🛡️

Eliminate Costly Attrition

We screen for cultural and clinical alignment to prevent costly early departures.

📊

Protect Your Revenue

Every day a specialized provider slot sits empty, your facility loses billing potential. We fast-track your permanent hiring pipeline.

🤝

Continuity of Care

Behavioral health patients rely heavily on therapeutic trust. Permanent placements improve patient outcomes and facility stability.

Long-Term Direct Hire

Traditional permanent placements designed to secure the foundation of your clinical team for years to come.

📅

Short-Term Direct Hire (Definitive Contracts)
