Who we are

A nursing recruiting partner who understands the hiring context.

Scion Medical Staffing is the healthcare and medical division of Scion Staffing, Inc. Our U.S.-based recruiters help healthcare employers connect with experienced clinical professionals and nursing leaders nationwide. Since 2006, Scion has built relationships that give employers access to talent beyond the applications arriving in their inbox.

A specialty requirement, a hard-to-fill location, or several permanent openings can stretch an internal hiring team. We bring existing talent connections and focused outreach to those searches, helping you reach beyond your current applicant pool while keeping your care setting and hiring priorities at the center.

What we provide

Direct-hire recruitment shaped around your opening.

We support individual nursing hires and searches for multiple openings, from Registered Nurses and LPNs/LVNs to advanced practice professionals and nursing leadership. Recruiting is tailored to your clinical requirements, organizational culture, schedule, and long-term workforce plans.

Your recruiter manages targeted sourcing and outreach, candidate screening, credential verification, interview coordination, and offer support. Evaluation considers clinical background, professional experience, references, and alignment with your organization’s requirements. We confirm the scope and timing of credential checks and background review for your engagement.

Whether you are replacing one essential team member, adding recruiting capacity, or building a larger nursing team, we keep the search focused on long-term employment with your organization. You have a dedicated recruiting contact to clarify priorities, communicate with candidates, and coordinate the hiring conversation.

What clients get

A clear shortlist. A responsive recruiter. Less hiring coordination.

Share your opening and hiring priorities. Your recruiting expert will clarify the essentials, identify relevant professionals, and coordinate next steps. You receive help evaluating the match so your team can focus its interview time on the people you want to meet.

  • A clear hiring brief: We align on required clinical experience, credentials, schedule, location, and priorities before outreach.
  • Targeted talent connections: Your search draws on private local, statewide, and national relationships, supported by focused sourcing.
  • Useful candidate conversations: We evaluate relevant care-setting experience, qualifications, interest, and availability against your opening, helping you understand where the match is strongest.
  • Less coordination for your team: A dedicated recruiter manages candidate communication, interview scheduling, feedback, and offer support.

Credential verification, professional reference checks, and background review are coordinated within the agreed engagement scope. Your organization makes the final hiring decision.

When to bring us into the search

When the opening needs more than another job posting.

The applications are missing the mark

You are receiving applicants, but few bring the clinical background, credentials, or schedule alignment you need. We focus outreach and screening on those requirements.

The local candidate pool is limited

A specialty or location has narrowed your options. We expand outreach through regional and national relationships and discuss relocation where it fits your opening.

Your hiring team needs more capacity

Internal recruiters and clinical leaders are balancing competing priorities. We support sourcing, candidate communication, and interview coordination around your process.

You are building for the long term

Several permanent vacancies, a growing practice, or a nursing leadership opening call for a coordinated search. We help define the scope and keep candidate conversations moving.

Experience we recruit for

Match the search to your clinical environment.

Tell us which experience matters most. We use the care setting, patient population, license requirements, and schedule to guide the search rather than relying on a title alone.

Registered Nurses

Registered Nurse recruiting guided by recent specialty experience, clinical setting, patient population, required credentials, and shift expectations. We distinguish between experience that is essential on arrival and preferences your team can develop, whether the opening is in a hospital, outpatient clinic, rehabilitation center, or behavioral health organization.

LPNs, LVNs & nursing support professionals

Direct-hire LPN and LVN searches shaped by care-setting experience, required credentials, schedule, and supervision structure. We also recruit Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) as nursing support professionals, with attention to the patient population and experience your team requires.

Advanced practice nursing

Nurse Practitioner and CRNA recruiting aligned to the specialty background, certifications, practice environment, and position-specific experience your organization needs. We clarify those requirements early so your clinical team can assess relevant professional experience during interviews.

Nursing leadership

Nurse managers, clinical supervisors, directors of nursing, and other nursing leaders. Team size, reporting relationships, clinical setting, and leadership priorities shape the search, including experience guiding growth, organizational change, or a department with a long-term vacancy.

Nationwide recruiting · Local requirements

A broader search, grounded in where care happens.

We recruit across all 50 states for hospitals, health systems, outpatient clinics, specialty practices, behavioral health organizations, rehabilitation centers, and academic medical centers. National reach helps when a specialty or location narrows the local talent pool.

For onsite nursing positions, we discuss commuting, relocation, shift requirements, and the intended start date. If your role includes hybrid, remote, or travel expectations, share those details so we can evaluate them alongside location and licensing requirements. We confirm candidate interest and availability for each search.
