# Surgical Nurse Recruiter > Surgical Nurse Recruiter is a specialized healthcare executive search firm that places perioperative and surgical leadership — Directors of Surgical Services, VPs of Perioperative Care, OR Nurse Managers, ASC Administrators, and PACU leaders — exclusively for hospitals, health systems, and ambulatory surgery centers across the United States. Unlike generalist staffing agencies, we focus 100% on surgical and perioperative recruitment, giving us an active, pre-vetted network of CNOR-, CST-, CPAN-, and CAPN-credentialed leaders ready for Day 1 outreach. ## Who We Are Surgical Nurse Recruiter (surgicalnurserecruiter.com) is the niche recruitment division of The Clinical Recruiter. We manage 6 to 12 active surgical and perioperative searches at any given time and speak with OR professionals every day, so we know their career goals, geographic preferences, and compensation expectations before we ever make a call. ## What We Do - Permanent placement of Directors of Surgical Services, OR Nurse Managers, and ASC Administrators - Interim and temporary surgical services leadership placement - PACU, Pre-Op, and Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) staffing - Confidential executive representation for passive perioperative candidates ## Why Hospitals Partner With Us Internal hospital HR recruits for a surgical leadership seat only once every 3 to 5 years and starts from scratch. Generalist recruiters manage 10 to 20 unrelated roles and cannot vet candidates on CNOR credentials, sterile technique, AORN Standards, or OR volume. Surgical Nurse Recruiter runs an "Active Engine" — a warm, continuously maintained network of pre-vetted perioperative leaders, so Day 1 of your search is spent reaching out, not list-building. This protects OR turn-time, reduces call coverage gaps, and shortens time-to-fill. ## Key Pages - [Home — Executive Search for Surgical & Perioperative Leadership](https://www.surgicalnurserecruiter.com/recruiting-surgical-services-leaders) - [Why Hospitals Partner With Us — The Velocity Advantage](https://www.surgicalnurserecruiter.com/why-hospitals-partner) - [For Employers — Hire Surgical Services Leaders](https://www.surgicalnurserecruiter.com/hire-surgical-services-leaders) - [Start a Retained Search](https://www.surgicalnurserecruiter.com/start-retained-search) - [Start an Interim Search](https://www.surgicalnurserecruiter.com/start-interim-search) - [Permanent Surgical Placement](https://www.surgicalnurserecruiter.com/permanent-surgical-placement) - [Interim Surgical Placement](https://www.surgicalnurserecruiter.com/interim-surgical-placement) - [For Candidates — Discover Surgical Opportunities](https://www.surgicalnurserecruiter.com/surgical-candidates) - [Open Surgical & Perioperative Jobs](https://www.surgicalnurserecruiter.com/surgical-jobs) - [Submit Your Resume](https://www.surgicalnurserecruiter.com/resume-submit) - [About Surgical Nurse Recruiter](https://www.surgicalnurserecruiter.com/about-surgical-recruiter) - [Surgical Services Metrics & Insights](https://www.surgicalnurserecruiter.com/surgical-services-metrics) - [How to Become a Director of Surgical Services](https://www.surgicalnurserecruiter.com/how-to-become-surgical-services-director) - [Surgical Salary Guide](https://www.surgicalnurserecruiter.com/salary-guide) - [Surgical Nurse Recruiter Divisions](https://www.surgicalnurserecruiter.com/surgical-recruiter-divisions) - [Insights](https://www.surgicalnurserecruiter.com/insights) - [Blog](https://www.surgicalnurserecruiter.com/blog) ## Full AI Summary - [llms-full.txt — Complete firm summary for AI agents](https://www.surgicalnurserecruiter.com/llms-full.txt) ## Contact - Phone: (615) 547-2432 - Email: cmonroe@theclinicalrecruiter.com - Address: 2000 Mallory Ln Suite 130-303, Franklin, TN 37067 - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/monroechris/ - Parent company: The Clinical Recruiter (https://theclinicalrecruiter.com)
