What does an open seat cost you every week?
An open role costs you more than the recruiting fee. Someone covers the work, waits for care, or stops a service. We ask what is falling behind and who is carrying it. Use your own figures to compare the cost of waiting with the cost of hiring.
The seat is costing you every week.
Overtime, diverted patients, a stretched team and a schedule held together by favors.
The posting brought the wrong people.
Applicants arrive, but the person who has done this exact work is employed and not looking.
You are the one chasing.
Screening calls, no-shows and follow-ups land on the desk of someone with a facility to run.
What does this hire really come down to?
A case manager may assess symptoms in a living room, review medication concerns, contact the prescriber, and update a caregiver before the next visit. Later, the RN charts the change, reports to the interdisciplinary group, and adjusts the day when equipment or family concerns arise.
We screen for that field-based work, not just hospital experience.
The RN works independently in private homes, observes changes without unit support nearby, and explains what the care team will do next. We ask candidates about visits that changed after they arrived and how they reported the change.
Documentation is part of the job, not work left for the end of the week. The RN connects observed decline, family reports, interventions, and care-plan updates in the record. We ask how candidates handle unclear information, late family questions, and notes that support continued Medicare certification.
We arrange locum tenens, travel and contract coverage on request. Credentialing, licensing and malpractice coverage are confirmed per engagement before anyone starts.
What do we check before you see anyone?
Active RN license: We confirm that the candidate holds an active RN license for your state or can obtain one before starting. Symptom and pain management: We ask how the RN assesses pain, dyspnea, agitation, nausea, and other comfort concerns during a home visit.
- We explore what they document, when they contact the prescriber, and how they explain the next step.
- Hospice documentation: Candidates describe how they record decline, visit findings, care-plan changes, and communication with the team. A useful answer includes the clinical observation behind the note, rather than a general statement about being thorough.
- Interdisciplinary group participation: We ask how the RN brings nursing observations to discussions with physicians, social workers, chaplains, and other team members. We want to hear what changed after the discussion and who received the update.
- Family communication: We explore how the nurse prepares relatives for expected changes, listens to concerns, and records the conversation. If a family member disagrees with the plan, we ask whom the candidate involves and what they explain.
- Home territory judgment and CHPN: We discuss driving patterns, visit sequencing, supplies, equipment problems, and after-hours phone work. We ask candidates how they organize a dispersed caseload, confirm address and access details, respond to an unexpected death notification, coordinate with a pharmacy or durable medical equipment vendor, and hand off unresolved matters to the on-call nurse. This discussion can reveal familiarity with gate codes, apartment entry limits, caregiver availability, weather detours, supply delivery windows, and coordination across county lines. CHPN can be a useful preferred credential, but it is not treated as a universal mandate.
Where do we find them, and why would they move?
We recruit from hospice agencies, palliative care teams, and oncology nursing backgrounds. Hospice nurses may consider a move for a different territory, a better leadership relationship, a different call pattern, or less friction around documentation. Palliative care and oncology RNs may bring useful symptom-management and family-conversation experience.
Which mistakes stall the search?
A common mistake is treating emergency or ICU experience as proof that an RN will work well alone in homes, where travel and family dynamics shape each visit. Another is skipping documentation questions, then finding that the new RN leaves vague notes or does not update the care plan promptly.
Assuming CHPN answers the communication question without asking how the candidate handles grief, disagreement, or a late-night family concern.
How would we run the search for this opening?
Tell us the service area, driving pattern, call rotation, documentation system, patient mix, and team structure. We present screened candidates for your review. We separate genuine interest in hospice from proven home-based case management, because independent field decisions and travel planning are distinct parts of this role.

Do you recruit only hospice-experienced RNs?
Hospice experience is often the clearest route when home visits and certification documentation are substantial. We can also assess palliative care or oncology nurses when you are open to a transition candidate with relevant symptom-management work. Strong acute-care experience does not automatically translate to hospice case management.
How do you assess family communication?
We ask for a specific conversation involving changing symptoms, a worried caregiver, or disagreement about the plan. We listen for clear explanations, appropriate escalation, and a record of what the family was told.
Should CHPN be mandatory?
That is your hiring decision. CHPN reflects hospice-focused study, but it does not replace an active RN license, sound field judgment, or your clinical review of the candidate.
Can you help with contract or per diem coverage?
We arrange locum tenens, travel and contract coverage on request. Credentialing, licensing and malpractice coverage are confirmed per engagement before anyone starts.
How do you assess readiness for a territory with dispersed home visits?
We ask why the nurse is considering a move before presenting them. Territory, leadership, call expectations, schedule, and documentation burden may matter alongside compensation. You retain the final hiring decision.
What should you send us about this role?
Send us the role, where the person will work and what needs to change with this hire. We will ask about the work, not just the title. Share any license or schedule limits that could rule someone out before we begin the search.
Tell us where the RN will travel, how call works, and which documentation or family-communication issue the next hire should address. We will begin with those facts.
No upfront fee. You pay only if you hire. We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement.

What do you get at each step of the search?
Our process for every search: calibrate the seat with you, map the market, research the real people, reach out to each one personally, qualify them in live conversation, then hand you a short list with a written brief on each person and support through the offer.
Search Calibration
You get an agreed brief: the work, reporting line, credentials, schedule, and offer you can make.
Market Mapping
You get a search aimed at relevant backgrounds, including people working now who have not applied.
Professional Contact Intelligence
We check appropriate ways to reach the people identified for your search. You do not have to chase them yourself.
Persistent Personalized Outreach
We explain your actual job and follow up with people who may consider a conversation.
Live Candidate Qualification
You see people we have spoken with about the work, interest, and practical fit, not an unread resume pile.
Candidate Intelligence and Process Support
You get a written brief and support through interviews and offer discussions. You make the hiring decision.
How long will it take to see a short list?
That depends on the job, schedule, available people, and what your employer can offer. We discuss those constraints before outreach and update you as candidates respond. We do not promise a fixed shortlist date. We check the job brief before arranging interviews. Tell us which parts of the role you can change.
What if a candidate receives a counteroffer?
We ask why the person wants to move and discuss competing decisions before an offer. A counteroffer can still change their choice. Keep the duties and offer clear rather than assuming more money settles every concern. Tell us early if parts of your offer cannot change, so the candidate hears it from us first.
What are the replacement terms?
We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement. Ask us to walk through those terms before you sign, so you know how a replacement would work for your opening and who would start it.
What do we not do in a standard permanent search?
We do not bill standard contingency search by the hour or simply repost your job. Temporary coverage is a separate arrangement. Any retainer or different engagement must be agreed, not assumed. Tell us early if you need coverage while the permanent search runs.
