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 GI Lab RN prepares patients, confirms the planned procedure, documents assigned care, monitors during or after procedures, and coordinates room turnover. The job changes with your sedation model, recovery setup, case mix, and division of work between nurses, technicians, physicians, and anesthesia staff.
ICU, PACU, operating room, and procedural nursing backgrounds can add useful skills. They do not automatically show GI lab readiness. We ask what the nurse personally handled during a procedure day. Did they complete pre-procedure checks, monitor moderate sedation, recover patients, document discharge work, and prepare the next case?
Your key hiring decision is whether to seek direct GI experience or train a strong procedural RN. A nurse with ERCP or EUS exposure may need less teaching around longer specialty cases. A candidate from another setting may still fit well when your team can teach scope workflow, documentation, recovery handoffs, and turnover responsibilities.
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 an active nursing license for the state of your opening and discuss any stated practice limitations. You complete final license verification, credentialing, background review, and clinical assessment before a start date. Moderate sedation competency. This separates direct experience from work in rooms where anesthesia managed all sedation duties.
- We ask what the nurse monitored, what they documented, who administered the sedation, and what they did when a patient’s condition changed.
- ERCP and EUS cases. We ask whether the candidate assisted with ERCP or EUS, prepared patients or equipment, and managed recovery after those procedures. This background matters when your schedule includes these cases, but it is not needed for every GI opening.
- Scope-processing awareness. A nurse may not perform high-level disinfection. Still, they should describe how used scopes were labeled, transported, handed off, and documented. We ask what they would do if a scope status or related record was unclear before turnover.
- CGRN status. CGRN shows focused gastroenterology nursing study and can be a useful preferred credential. It is not a universal legal condition of practice. We confirm whether the nurse holds it, is pursuing it, or has built GI knowledge through direct work.
- Shift flow and recovery duties. We ask how the nurse managed patient questions, recovery observations, discharge steps used by the site, charting, and the next room’s preparation. Their answer should show how they decide what needs attention first when cases change.
Where do we find them, and why would they move?
We recruit from hospital GI labs, endoscopy centers, and GI group ASCs. Hospital-based candidates may bring broader exposure to specialty diagnostics. Endoscopy center and ASC candidates may bring substantial experience with routine screening, patient preparation, recovery, and repeated turnover patterns.
A nurse may consider a move for a different schedule, broader procedure exposure, a new recovery model, or clearer role boundaries. We ask what is prompting the change and what they want in the next position. That conversation can reveal whether your opening matches the reason they are considering leaving.
Which mistakes stall the search?
A common mistake is treating ICU or PACU work as proof of moderate sedation competence without asking who monitored sedation and what the nurse documented. Another is assuming every GI nurse has ERCP and EUS experience when their work may center on routine colonoscopies and EGDs.
Ignoring scope handoffs because technicians handle reprocessing. Missing labels, records, or status information can delay the next room.
How would we run the search for this opening?
We discuss your case mix, sedation coverage, recovery assignments, physician coverage, schedule pattern, and turnover ownership. We review license status, work history, CGRN if held, sedation work, specialty-case exposure, and scope-processing awareness. We introduce candidates whose experience and move rationale fit the agreed profile.

What terms apply to GI lab searches?
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. We arrange locum tenens, travel and contract coverage on request. Credentialing, licensing and malpractice coverage are confirmed per engagement before anyone starts.
Do you recruit only nurses with GI lab experience?
No: we can focus on direct GI backgrounds or include nurses from PACU, ICU, operating room, and other procedural roles. The right search depends on your orientation time, case mix, and sedation model.
Is CGRN required for an Endoscopy Nurse?
CGRN is a valuable specialty credential, not a universal legal mandate. Tell us whether it is preferred, expected after hire, or unnecessary for your opening.
How do you assess moderate sedation experience?
We ask what the nurse personally monitored, documented, and escalated. We also clarify whether anesthesia staff handled all sedation work at their current site.
Can you search for ERCP and EUS experience?
Yes: we screen for ERCP and EUS exposure when those cases are part of your service. We distinguish room assistance, patient preparation, sedation monitoring, and recovery duties because each employer assigns them differently.
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 how your GI lab assigns sedation, recovery, specialty procedures, and turnover tasks. We will screen for an Endoscopy Nurse who fits that workday.

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.

Candidate Intelligence and Process Support

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.
