Nursing Recruitment and Staffing Agency for Healthcare Employers

Alliance delivers pre-screened nursing shortlists within 24–48 hours of an agreed brief. For context, US hospitals take an average of 78 days to recruit an experienced registered nurse (NSI Nursing Solutions, 2026). For international placements, documentation lead times are built into the deployment timeline, and we advise on realistic start dates before the offer stage. Alliance factors documentation lead times into the deployment timeline and advises employers on realistic start dates before the offer stage.

Permanent nursing placements are charged as a one-time success fee: a percentage of the nurse’s gross annual salary, payable only when the hire is confirmed. Contract and travel nurse placements are billed as a markup on the nurse’s rate. There are no upfront fees, and we confirm the fee schedule in writing before sourcing begins. on the nurse’s base rate, inclusive of compliance and insurance management. There are no upfront fees, no retainer fees for volume permanent placements, and no charges if a position is not filled. Alliance provides a clear fee schedule at the start of every engagement with no mid-process additions.

Yes. Alliance places nurses internationally across 36+ countries, including the US, UK, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Canada, Germany, Singapore and Malaysia. Alliance manages source-country sourcing primarily from the Philippines, India, Kenya, South Africa and Jamaica — the highest-volume nursing export markets globally. For international placements, Alliance coordinates with employers on visa pathway eligibility, licence transfer requirements and relocation support, reducing the documentation burden on the employer’s HR team.

Every international candidate is verified against the destination market’s licensing framework before shortlisting — NCLEX and state board for the US, NMC including CBT and OSCE for the UK, DHA, HAAD or MOH for the GCC, and provincial or state registration for Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Employers receive candidates whose licensing pathway is already underway.

Every permanent placement carries a 90-day replacement guarantee. If the nurse leaves or does not meet the agreed standard within 90 days, Alliance sources a replacement at no additional placement fee, with structured check-ins through the guarantee period.

Nurse recruitment fills permanent roles: we source, verify and shortlist nurses who join your payroll as employees. Nurse staffing covers temporary, per diem, contract and travel cover, where a nurse works with you for a defined period to fill shifts or short-term gaps. Many healthcare employers use both, recruiting a permanent core team and adding contract cover for seasonal peaks and open vacancies.
