The facilities
we staff. Same line
since 1980.

Sterling staffs the clinical workforce at large hospital systems, outpatient clinic networks, community and provider-network health programs, and specialty medical facilities. Most of these relationships predate today's recruiters.

Long-standing clinical staffing relationships across hospital, clinic, and community-based healthcare.

The credentialing engine

When we say
a clinician is
ready, they are.

Every Sterling placement runs through a compliance-driven credentialing workflow: primary-source verification, sanction screening, privilege mapping, and facility onboarding. Nothing in the file is taken on trust.

What we staff

Forty-plus
sub-specialties.
One bench.

Sterling's recruiting bench covers the clinical disciplines hospitals and clinics need most. The night-shift critical-care nurse and the interventional radiologist reading for a multi-site network are placed by recruiters who specialize, not generalists working from a quota.

01

Physicians

Primary care and internal medicine, radiology and teleradiology, anesthesiology, psychiatry, emergency medicine, and surgical sub-specialties. Most placements route through complex multi-facility credentialing workflows.

The promises we put in writing

How we operate.

01

When we say a clinician is ready, they are.

Credentialing files are verified at primary source. Onboarding is rehearsed. The goal is a non-event on day one.

02

Your recruiter stays with you.

One named person, before the call and long after the start date. Not a queue, not a chatbot, not a handoff to "talent operations."

03

We know complex healthcare contracting because we live it.

Multi-facility credentialing. Wage-and-hour compliance. Client representatives who already know us by name. What looks like red tape to a generalist is the work we do every day.

04

The relocation is part of the role.

Movers, temporary housing, family transition, overseas paperwork. We handle the logistics so the clinician can focus on the patient.

Your team

Specialty desks.
Direct lines.

Sterling clinicians don't get a queue ticket. Each specialty has its own desk, its own inbox, and its own phone line. The same recruiter answers from first call through start date.

Not sure which desk? Call our main line and we'll route you, or send one message and we'll pass it to the right recruiter within the same business day.
