Service lines do not transfer
Ortho, neuro, cardiac, and robotics each carry their own instrumentation, positioning, and surgeon expectations. We match to the rooms you actually need covered.
Home / Specialties / Operating room
A short OR does not slow down. It cancels.
Perioperative gaps are the most expensive on this site, because an unstaffed room does not run at reduced capacity — it closes, and the cases move or wait. We staff circulating, scrub, first assist, and CRNA coverage by service line rather than by job title.

Why this one is different
Perioperative is a collection of specialties, not one
An ortho circulator and a cardiac circulator are not interchangeable. Matching on the words operating room is the most common reason a perioperative placement fails in the first week.
Scrub and circulate are different jobs
Many clinicians do one well and the other rarely. We confirm which, and in what service lines, instead of accepting a combined label.
Call is most of the economics
A room that needs call coverage is a materially different engagement from a weekday-only block. Vendors who blur this produce quotes that are not comparable.
Verification
What we confirm before submittal
Perioperative screening is specific or it is useless.
- Service lines worked — ortho, neuro, cardiac, general, ENT, GU, and robotics stated individually.
- Role — circulating, scrub, or both, with recency for each rather than a combined claim.
- Robotics — da Vinci or comparable platform experience confirmed by platform, not by brand awareness.
- Certifications — BLS and ACLS current, with CNOR or CST noted where held.
- Call history — whether the clinician has taken call before and at what ratio.
- Licensure — active state or compact, with status shown if an application is pending.
- Intake
Room count, service lines, call expectation, and block schedule reality.
- Screen
Clinical interview by service line, including instrumentation and positioning.
- Submittal
Profiles listing service lines and role recency on the front page.
- Start
Credential file before day one, with expiry tracking active from the first shift.
Commercials
Call pay belongs outside the hourly
We quote call separately from the base rate, because burying it produces a number that looks competitive and is not. If another vendor has quoted you a single blended figure for a room that takes call, the two quotes are not measuring the same thing.
- Call quoted as its own line, with the ratio stated in the agreement.
- Rate card held for the term, by service line and market.
- If the rate is why the room is not covered, we say so rather than leaving it open.
- Conversion priced up front as a declining fee based on hours worked.
Client FAQ
Before you post the OR requisition
Service lines, call, and what makes perioperative placements stick.
Yes, and both narrow the pool. Robotics is confirmed by platform rather than by general awareness, and structural heart work is screened against the specific procedures your program runs.
Yes, through the same account team. Anesthesia sits on our locums and advanced practice page because the contracting and malpractice work differently, but you deal with one vendor and one invoice.
That is a legitimate engagement and we price it as one. Call-only arrangements are harder to fill than block coverage, so expect a longer timeline and a rate that reflects what you are asking of the clinician.
By asking which rooms the clinician will actually staff, not which department they belong to. If your intake says operating room and nothing else, we will come back with questions before we come back with profiles.
Yes. Surgical techs, first assists, and sterile processing are all within scope and are screened against the same service-line detail as nursing roles.
Send us the rooms, not the department
Service lines, call expectation, and block schedule. We come back with clinicians matched to the cases and a quote that separates call from base.
