Connecting employer-sponsored onsite health centers, near-site clinics, and occupational medicine providers nationwide with qualified occupational health professionals through travel, local contract, and permanent staffing.
Hired First Workforce Solutions is a nationwide occupational health staffing agency. HiredFirst can staff your clinic from A to Z. We recruit front office and administrative staff, medical assistants, occupational health nurses (RN, COHN/COHN-S), LPNs, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physicians, dentists, EMTs and paramedics, screening technicians, and clinic leadership for onsite employer health centers, near-site and workplace health clinics, occupational medicine clinics, hospital employee health departments, and industrial, manufacturing, warehouse, distribution, and construction sites across the United States.

Our recruiting focuses on clinical fit, licensure, and the site-specific credentials each contract requires.
Occupational Health Professionals We Recruit
HiredFirst recruits clinicians and support professionals for the roles that keep employer health centers and occupational medicine programs running.
Occupational Health Registered Nurses (RN, COHN, COHN-S)
RNs who handle workplace injury triage and first aid, return-to-work and transitional-duty coordination, case management with employers and third-party administrators (TPAs), medical surveillance, health screenings, and immunizations. Many sites prefer or require certification from the American Board for Occupational Health Nurses (COHN or COHN-S), emergency nursing, or case management experience.

LPNs and LVNs who support injury care, screenings, immunizations, and clinic operations, within state scope of practice.

Physical therapists and athletic trainers who support onsite injury prevention, ergonomics, early intervention for musculoskeletal discomfort, rehabilitation, and return to work in employer health centers and industrial settings.
Physicians
Occupational medicine and primary care physicians for onsite and near-site employer health centers and occupational medicine clinics. Their work can include injury care, medical surveillance, fitness-for-duty and DOT exams (with FMCSA National Registry listing), primary care, and medical oversight of the clinic team.

Occupational eye care often includes workplace vision screening, vision testing for DOT medical exams, follow-up after eye injuries, and support for prescription safety eyewear programs.
Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants (NP/PA)
Advanced practice providers for occupational medicine and employer primary care. Their work can include injury evaluation and treatment, pre-placement and fitness-for-duty exams, and DOT physical exams. DOT exams require listing on the FMCSA National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners.
Medical Assistants (CMA, RMA, CCMA)
Certified medical assistants who take vitals, perform EKGs and point-of-care testing, administer injections where state rules allow, keep records, and handle front-desk work in onsite and near-site health centers.

• DOT drug-screen collectors and breath alcohol technicians (BAT). Specimen collection and alcohol testing under DOT 49 CFR Part 40 qualification requirements.
• Vision, EKG, and fit-testing support. Done as each site's scope of services requires.

Customer support representatives who handle patient and member support, scheduling, and call center work for employer health programs.

Health center managers, lead nurses, clinical coordinators, and occupational health case managers who oversee daily operations, staffing, quality, and coordination with employers at onsite and near-site health centers.
Every occupational health site has its own scope of services, schedules (including 2nd shift, night, weekend, and PRN), and credential requirements. We learn those requirements before we present any candidate.

Occupational Health Staffing Services

Local Contract Staffing
Contract professionals who already live within commuting distance of your site, for short- or long-term coverage, including PRN and shift-specific needs.
Permanent and Direct Hire Recruitment
Direct hire recruiting for long-term members of the health center team.
Contract-to-Hire
An option for evaluating fit on site before you make a permanent offer.
New Site Launches
HiredFirst helps staff new onsite and near-site health centers from A to Z. For a new site, we can recruit everyone from the front desk, administrative, and customer support staff to medical assistants, nurses, NPs and PAs, physicians, dental teams, eye care teams, physical therapists, athletic trainers, technicians, and the health center manager. Interim travel or local contract coverage can bridge the gap until permanent hires start. Recruiting is planned around the site's go-live date, scope of services, and credentialing requirements.
Multi-Site Programs
Recruiting support for organizations that operate health centers across many employer client sites, states, and markets.
Hard-to-Fill Occupational Health Positions
Targeted recruiting for rural or remote sites, off-shift schedules, and roles that need specific certifications.
Credentialing and Compliance Focus
Occupational health work comes with regulatory requirements. Our screening process looks at the credentials and experience your contracts call for, such as:
Active state licensure, plus multistate Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) status where it applies
BLS, and ACLS where the site's scope requires it
COHN/COHN-S, CAOHC, NIOSH spirometry, and DOT collector/BAT qualifications, as required
Experience with OSHA recordkeeping concepts (first aid vs. recordable cases), DOT and non-DOT drug and alcohol testing, medical surveillance, and workers' compensation workflows
Experience with pre-placement physicals, fitness-for-duty, and return-to-work exams
Every HiredFirst candidate goes through license verification, a background check, a drug screen, and reference checks. We also complete any client- or clinic-specific onboarding and credentialing your site requires, so clinicians arrive ready to work under your contract's requirements.
