Mental Health Recruitment FAQs

What makes a behavioral health recruiter different?

At HCRI, we’ve been staffing healthcare for 34+ years. We have dedicated experts in behavioral health – past behavioral practitioners who know the field inside and out. That means they bring a unique perspective and know how to find and match top talent organizations like yours that need them.

Do you offer temporary and permanent staffing options?

Yes, we do offer both permanent staffing and temp or contract talent as well. Our best clients appreciate the fact we can flex to fill any behavioral or mental healthcare role quickly regardless of the position type.

How quickly can you fill a licensed therapist role?

We begin recruiting immediately, but we don’t just “post and pray.” At HCRI, we collaborate closely with our hiring partners to identify what might be limiting traction. Whether it’s refining the job scope, assessing market-rate compensation, or opening parameters for relocation, we extract the details that matter. This approach not only accelerates hiring, it increases retention by ensuring the right clinical and cultural fit. Contact us today to learn more.
