Browse current nurse practitioner and physician assistant job openings from Advanced Practice Recruiters, the nation's first recruiting firm dedicated exclusively to advanced practice providers. Our active job board includes permanent direct-hire placements, locum tenens contract assignments, telehealth-only practices, and hybrid roles across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories.
Every listing is matched and managed by a subspecialty-focused recruiter — not a generalist desk — so you're talking to someone who actually understands the certification requirements, clinical setting, productivity expectations, and culture of the role. Application is always free for candidates, fully confidential, and never contingent on exclusivity with our firm.
Active NP openings span hospitals, health systems, physician groups, federally qualified health centers, urgent care chains, telehealth platforms, behavioral health organizations, correctional health, and private practice. We track new listings daily across every NP certification population focus and publish current opportunities as employers release them.
Active PA openings span emergency departments, surgical practices and ambulatory surgery centers, dermatology and cardiology groups, orthopedic practices, hospitalist services, urgent care chains, family medicine and internal medicine clinics, and telehealth platforms. PA listings include both clinic-only roles and operative or first-assist roles.
Our recruiters maintain dedicated pipelines and current openings in each of the following advanced practice subspecialties:
If your subspecialty is not listed, contact us — we routinely run searches for niche roles such as neonatal NP, interventional cardiology PA, electrophysiology PA, and post-master's certificate cross-population placements.
The fastest way to apply is to submit your resume and we will route it to the subspecialty recruiter best matched to your background. Within one to two business days a recruiter will reach out for a confidential introductory call to discuss your certification, clinical experience, geographic preferences, compensation expectations, and the roles that fit. Everything we do is free for candidates and fully confidential — your resume is never sent anywhere without your written permission for that specific opportunity.
If you already know the specific job listing or city you're interested in, mention it on the inquiry form and we will route you directly to the recruiter managing that search. If you're exploring more broadly, our recruiters will assemble a tailored opportunity slate based on your subspecialty, geography, and timing.
We work with both actively searching and passively exploring providers. If you're employed and confidentially exploring, we structure outreach, interview scheduling, and reference timing to fully protect your current position.
Yes. Advanced Practice Recruiters is always 100% free for nurse practitioner and physician assistant candidates. We are paid by the hiring employer through a contingency placement fee, so candidates never pay an application fee, registration fee, retainer, or commission. There are no hidden costs at any stage of the search, interview, offer, or onboarding process.
Absolutely. Candidate confidentiality is foundational to our practice. We never submit a resume to an employer without your explicit, written permission for each individual opportunity. We will never contact your current employer, references, or colleagues without your consent. We routinely place NPs and PAs who are passively exploring while still employed, and we structure outreach, interview scheduling, and reference timing to fully protect their current position.
A subspecialty-matched recruiter reviews your background within one to two business days and reaches out to schedule a confidential introductory call. On that call we discuss your certification, clinical experience, geographic preferences, compensation expectations, schedule preferences, and the cultural and clinical attributes that matter to you. From there we present matching opportunities, manage interview scheduling, support offer evaluation, and assist with credentialing and start logistics.
Every search is run by a recruiter who works exclusively in that subspecialty vertical. Our PMHNP recruiters work only PMHNP roles; our surgical PA recruiters work only surgical PA roles. We match on certification (FNP, PMHNP, AGACNP, etc. for NPs; CAQs and procedural training for PAs), clinical setting, patient population, productivity expectations, supervision or collaboration model, payer mix, and culture. This subspecialty depth is why our placements have meaningfully higher one-year retention than generalist staffing.
Permanent (direct-hire) placements are full-time W-2 employment with the hiring organization, typically with full benefits, malpractice, CME, and retirement. Locum tenens placements are 1099 contract assignments — usually 13 weeks to 12 months — that pay an hourly rate, cover travel and housing, and provide A-rated occurrence-based malpractice. We support both models. Many candidates use locum work for geographic exploration, schedule flexibility, or income optimization, while others want a permanent home; we match the engagement type to your goals.
