Retained Recruitment for Nursing & Long-Term Care

Long-term care facilities are facing the most severe workforce pressures in their history — driven by a rapidly ageing population and a nursing workforce stretched thin across every care setting. TFS places the clinical and operational professionals that keep LTC facilities staffed, compliant, and providing excellent resident care.

"We had been through three DON candidates who didn't work out in two years. TFS's retained process found us someone who understood CMS compliance and genuinely loved the residents. She's been with us three years."

Why Retained Search Works Here

The Nursing & Long-Term Care Hiring Challenge

SNF and assisted living turnover is among the highest in healthcare — driven by staffing ratios, physical demands, and compensation challenges. Finding professionals who bring genuine commitment to the long-term care environment requires more than job postings; it requires active outreach to people currently succeeding in comparable settings.

Our retained model means one dedicated recruiter — someone who knows this segment — works your role exclusively from the day you engage us. We conduct active outreach to candidates who are currently succeeding in comparable roles and aren't scanning job boards. That passive candidate access is what separates retained recruitment from everything else.

  • Sector-specialist recruiter who knows nursing & long-term care roles
  • Passive candidate outreach into current professional networks
  • Credential and licensure pre-screening before presentation
  • Structured competency screening tailored to your role
  • 21–40 day average placement timeline
  • 90-day replacement guarantee on every placement

Common Questions

Nursing & Long-Term Care Recruitment — FAQ

We place Director of Nursing (Long-Term Care), MDS Coordinator, Certified Nursing Assistant, Activities Director, Admissions Coordinator, and more across the nursing & long-term care sector. Our focus is professional and specialist placements — individual contributors through director level — rather than executive or C-suite search.
Most nursing & long-term care placements are completed within 21 to 40 business days. Roles requiring specific certifications or serving niche geographic markets may take toward the longer end of that range. We communicate a realistic timeline at the start of every search and send weekly progress updates.
SNF and assisted living turnover is among the highest in healthcare — driven by staffing ratios, physical demands, and compensation challenges. Finding professionals who bring genuine commitment to the long-term care environment requires more than job postings; it requires active outreach to people currently succeeding in comparable settings. A retained search means one dedicated recruiter is actively and exclusively working your role — conducting passive candidate outreach, pre-screening credentials, and presenting only candidates who genuinely meet your brief. This consistently delivers better outcomes than job postings or contingency firms competing to place anyone quickly.
Every permanent retained placement includes a 90-day guarantee. If the placed professional departs or is released within 90 days for reasons covered under our guarantee terms, we conduct a full replacement search at no additional fee.
Retained searches are structured with an engagement fee at the start of the search, which ensures your recruiter is fully committed to your role. This is what differentiates retained from contingency — you get exclusive attention and accountability from day one. Contact us for specific fee structures during your free 25-minute consultation.
