Healthcare Staffing Plus is proud to unveil an innovative recruitment solution tailored for hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, ambulatory surgery centers, physician offices, and a broad range of healthcare providers. This new approach centers on a transparent negotiable flat hourly rate of $135 with no placement or conversion fees, and offers clients full ownership of every resume, CV, and candidate profile generated throughout the engagement. This model challenges traditional percentage-based contingency recruiting fees, delivering substantial cost savings and greater control to healthcare organizations.
This is strictly for permanent direct hire positions.
Founded by Jeri Lyskowinski, a seasoned healthcare staffing professional with over 23 years of experience, Healthcare Staffing Plus utilizes a Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) approach structured around hourly billing rather than the conventional contingency fees that typically range between 15% and 30% of a new hire’s first-year salary. This shift in recruiting economics is especially advantageous for organizations managing high-volume hiring projects, where traditional percentage fees can quickly escalate costs.
As the owner of Healthcare Staffing Plus explains, “I understand the daily challenges healthcare organizations face and the financial pressures that come with operating on increasingly narrow margins. Our RPO model gives healthcare organizations an opportunity to dramatically reduce the cost of clinical recruitment while maintaining the recruiting expertise and support they need.”
For organizations undertaking large-scale clinical hiring initiatives, the savings can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars compared with traditional percentage-based recruiting fees. Those resources can then be redirected toward other critical priorities, including medical equipment and technology, competitive employee compensation, expanded staffing, clinical programs, and medical research. Ultimately, the goal is to help healthcare organizations recruit the talent they need while allowing more of their budget to remain focused on patient care and organizational growth.

Each client engagement begins with a one-time $2,500 engagement fee, which Healthcare Staffing Plus uses to convene stakeholders, understand the facility’s unique clinical workforce challenges, and develop a customized sourcing infrastructure aligned with organizational goals. Following this, services are billed at a predictable flat rate of 135 per billable hour, supported by detailed, itemized time logs and governed by pre-approved “Not-to-Exceed” budget caps per role. This transparent financial structure provides healthcare executives with precise budgeting oversight and eliminates unexpected fee surprises common in contingency recruiting.
A key differentiator of Healthcare Staffing Plus’s model is that clients retain complete ownership of all candidate information obtained during the search process. This means hospitals and clinical facilities can hire unlimited nurses, physicians, directors, and other clinical professionals without ever being charged additional placement or conversion fees—even if hiring extends beyond initial projections.
The firm delivers full-cycle recruiting support, leveraging healthcare-specific job boards, external clinical databases, state medical boards, and professional associations to source highly qualified candidates. Recruitment consultants conduct thorough candidate screening, present qualified professionals to hiring teams, and assist in structuring and coordinating interviews, whether behavioral, structured, or otherwise. Weekly collaboration meetings with internal HR and hiring managers ensure alignment and provide ongoing visibility into recruiting metrics and progress.
Healthcare Staffing Plus clinical recruiting services spans a wide array of specialties including:
- Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), and Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs)
- Physicians and Surgeons across diverse specialties
- Clinical Directors and Department Leaders
- Pharmacists, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), and Nurse Practitioners
- Radiology Technologists, Respiratory Therapists, Physical and Occupational Therapists
- Laboratory Professionals and Surgical Technologists
Beyond cost and service benefits, Healthcare Staffing Plus also addresses critical regulatory compliance considerations. The flat hourly fee structure clearly demonstrates Fair Market Value (FMV) in accordance with Stark Law and the Anti-Kickback Statute, helping healthcare organizations mitigate risk associated with vendor compensation arrangements that fluctuate based on salary percentages. This compliance-conscious model is designed to meet the scrutiny of legal and compliance departments at larger health systems.
The company’s single-recruiter model is positioned as a strategic advantage rather than a limitation. Unlike larger agencies that distribute client projects across multiple layers—business development representatives, junior recruiters, and coordinators—Healthcare Staffing Plus assigns a senior recruiter who manages the entire search process from initial kickoff through candidate placement. This direct access to experienced recruiting professionals ensures personalized service, clear communication, and accountability throughout the engagement.
Healthcare Staffing Plus operates Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern Time and encourages healthcare executives seeking a transparent, cost-effective, and compliant recruiting partner to reach out at (812) 704-5488. Additionally, the firm offers a complimentary resource, “Healthcare Staffing Plus’s Complete Guide for Hiring Top Talent,” available upon request to assist healthcare leaders in optimizing their recruitment strategies and clearly explains the unique service.
By redefining recruiting economics and service delivery, Healthcare Staffing Plus is positioned to help healthcare organizations across settings improve hiring outcomes, reduce recruiting costs, and maintain compliance in today’s competitive clinical talent marketplace.
