Employers
Our first priority is to provide you, the employer, with healthcare professionals to fill your job opening in the least amount of time. PHR is NOT a staffing agency. We specialize in direct hire placement of specific healthcare professions that are in critical shortage in the U.S., recruiting professionals from countries such as the Philippines, India and Canada. Our goal is to provide highly skilled and pre-qualified healthcare professionals to fill your staffing needs.
