When a respected leader in chemical dependency treatment spent two months unsuccessfully searching for a psychiatrist, frustration was building. That’s when Isabella Ramirez, Healthcare Workforce Advisor, stepped in with a smarter, faster strategy for healthcare hiring.
Recognizing that qualified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can bring clinical rigor and therapeutic leadership, especially those with deep addiction and rehabilitation experience, Isabella proposed a pivot. The client was initially hesitant but open, agreeing to shift focus as long as the provider brought serious credentials in substance use treatment.
Isabella immediately tapped into her network and internal database, surfacing a short list of fully vetted PMHNPs. Within 24 hours, she had personally reached out to top candidates. One of them, Mike H., stood out. With extensive experience in addiction medicine and a warm, patient-centered approach, he matched the client’s mission and urgency.
The client moved fast, really fast. From first interview to signed offer, the process took just two weeks.
This placement didn’t just fill a role. It accelerated care delivery for patients in need and reinforced the value of flexibility, creative thinking, and deep domain expertise in healthcare recruitment. Isabella’s quick pivot helped the client see the bigger picture and got the right person in the right seat, right on time.
