Healthcare Staffing and Recruiting Agency

A healthcare recruitment agency sources, screens, and presents top candidates to you so you're not starting from a job board and sifting through applications yourself.

At Near, we start with a discovery call to understand your organization, the role, and your specific requirements. 

Your dedicated recruiter then sources candidates from our LatAm network, screens them on relevant experience, English proficiency, and culture fit, and delivers a shortlist of 3–5 interview-ready candidates within days.

You run final interviews and make the hire. We handle everything after—contracts, payroll, compliance—if you want us to.

Fees for hiring through a recruitment agency vary by firm and model. 

Most charge a placement fee of 20–30% of the hired candidate's first-year salary, or a monthly markup for staffing models that include payroll and compliance.

At Near, fees depend on which model you choose, and we walk through them clearly on the first call. There are never upfront costs and you only pay once you make a hire.

Most clients find the total cost of hiring through Near is still 50–60% less than the equivalent US-based hire, even after fees.

Near is a full-service staffing and recruitment partner, providing sourcing, screening, background checks, initial interviews, and even payroll and compliance support. 

Here's what our services cover:

1. Candidate sourcing and screening. We handle sourcing, screening, English proficiency testing, healthcare-relevant experience verification, initial interviews, and international background checks. 
2. Payroll, compliance, and contracts. Through our staffing model, Near can manage contracts, payroll, tax compliance, and benefits administration so you can hire in LatAm without setting up a local entity or navigating local labor law yourself. 
3. Equipment and onboarding logistics. If you need it, we make it happen. We've helped clients source laptops to avoid customs delays, secure office space, and coordinate equipment setup. It's not something every client needs, but it's there if you do.
4. Ongoing support. Once your hire is in place, we don't disappear. Your dedicated recruiter stays available on Slack for questions, check-ins, and anything that comes up. 

Both our recruitment-only and full-service staffing options include the same rigorous vetting process and no upfront costs.

Near can place any remote-capable role within a healthcare organization.

The most common placements include Medical Billers, Medical Coders, Patient Coordinators, Healthcare Administrators, Virtual Assistants, Customer Support Reps, Healthcare Data Analysts, and IT Support Specialists.

We also place marketing, sales, and operations roles for health tech companies and digital health brands.

If the role can be done remotely, we can find you the talent in Latin America.

Yes. Near specifically sources candidates with US healthcare experience. 

Many have worked for US-based telehealth platforms, medical practices, or healthcare technology companies. 

During screening, we verify familiarity with US healthcare operations, HIPAA awareness for relevant roles, and experience working within US-based organizations.

Near only presents candidates with fluent or near-native English, minimal to no accent, and clear communication skills verified in our screening interviews.

For patient-facing and client-facing roles, we apply an even higher bar. We also include video introductions with every candidate so you can assess communication style before the first interview.

No. LatAm talent works your hours, with a maximum 2–3 hour difference from US time zones.

This is one of the top reasons healthcare companies choose Latin America over other offshore regions.

Near’s vetting process for healthcare roles includes:

1. Screening for relevant healthcare industry experience (medical sales, healthcare tech, medical practices, telehealth, etc.)
2. Verifying technical skills and certifications (for roles like medical coding, healthcare IT, or data analytics)
3. Conducting reference checks with previous managers and coworkers
4. Evaluating attention to detail and organizational skills (critical for healthcare admin and billing roles)
5. Testing communication skills through video interviews

We only send you candidates who meet your specific requirements. 

We know you cannot afford to hire the wrong person.

Yes. Near provides EOR services, payroll, benefits administration, contracts, and ongoing support if you choose our staffing model. 

If you prefer to handle these on your own, we have an option for that too. 

Yes. Near offers a 180-day replacement guarantee. If the candidate doesn’t work out in that window, we’ll find you a new placement at no additional cost.
