Ethical international recruitment from approved source countries.

NCLEX-pathway nursing, CGFNS-credentialed allied health, ACGME-approved residency-graduate roles. We follow the WHO Global Code of Practice and the AAIHR ethical-recruitment principles. Visa sponsorship, credentialing and relocation handled in-house.

Domestic desk

US passive-market sourcing for permanent allied health and nursing hires.

Targeted, named outreach to credentialed clinicians already in role at peer facilities. License-verified, primary-source vetted, scored against your spec before introduction. One named consultant per search.

Three commitments

Allied health recruitment that thinks globally and works ethically.

The healthcare workforce is global. World AHS runs both halves of that picture - the US passive market and ethical international pathways - and we run them with the same rigour.

01

Ethical international sourcing.

Our international desk follows the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel and the AAIHR ethical-recruitment principles. We do not source from countries on the WHO Health Workforce Support and Safeguards List.

02

Credential-verified.

License lookup against the relevant US state board, primary-source verification, BLS/ACLS/PALS where applicable, sanction-list cross-check and full credentialing documentation transferred to you on hire.

03

One named consultant.

The consultant who picks up your call runs the search end to end. Whether it is a domestic 21-day search or an international 9-month pathway, you have one named contact through to day 90 of placement.

Ten allied health services

The roles where we run permanent searches.

Outside this list, ask. The two-desk approach travels across most of the credentialed healthcare workforce.

Allied Health Professionals

Respiratory therapists, surgical technologists, radiology and ultrasound techs, lab specialists, dietitians and across the broader allied-health discipline set.

Registered Nurses

Med-surg, ICU, ED, OR, telemetry, oncology, L&D, cath lab and case management RNs. BSN-preferred and travel-converted candidates from US and approved international markets.

Licensed Practical Nurses

LPN/LVN placements into long-term care, home health, ambulatory surgery centers, school health and corrections. Multi-state license holders preferred.

Medical Techs

Medical laboratory scientists, histotechnologists, cytotechnologists, blood-bank techs and ASCP-credentialed clinical lab specialists across hospital and reference lab settings.

Therapists (PT/OT/SLP)

Physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists for hospital, outpatient, school-based and skilled-nursing settings. ASHA, APTA and AOTA credentialed.

Healthcare Admin

Practice managers, medical billing specialists, coding leads, patient access reps and scheduling coordinators across primary care and specialty practices.

Travel Nursing

13- and 26-week travel RN placements across med-surg, ICU, ED, OR and specialty units. License-compact and Walk-Through ready.

Per-Diem Coverage

Per-diem RN, LPN and CNA coverage pools for hospital, post-acute and specialty settings. Local rosters maintained per facility region.

International Recruitment

Ethical international pathways for NCLEX-track RNs and CGFNS-credentialed allied health. Visa sponsorship (EB-3, H-1B), relocation, credentialing and onboarding handled.

Care Coordinators

Care coordinators, care managers, care navigators and discharge planners across health-system, ACO, MCO and population-health programmes.

How a search runs

Four stages. Domestic or international.

Domestic searches close in weeks. International pathways close in months. The four stages are the same.

1

Brief

One call to lock the role, the credential profile, the visa requirements (if international), the timing and the deal-breakers. We come prepared.

2

Source

Domestic: passive-market outreach to US-credentialed clinicians. International: ethical sourcing from approved markets, with WHO and AAIHR principles followed throughout.

3

Vet

License verification, primary-source credentialing, BLS/ACLS/PALS where applicable, references, sanction-list cross-check. Compliance pack documented before any introduction.

4

Place

Domestic: offer coordination, counter-offer management, start-date logistics. International: visa sponsorship support, relocation handling, English-proficiency support, onboarding to your facility.

Why World AHS runs two desks

The US healthcare workforce is short and getting shorter. The single domestic desk model that most agencies run leaves you competing with every other facility in your region for the same pool of credentialed clinicians. World AHS runs both halves of the picture - a US-passive-market desk that closes in weeks, and an ethical-international-pathway desk that closes in months.

The international desk is the differentiator. We do not run it as a body-shop. We run it as ethical recruitment under the WHO Global Code of Practice and the AAIHR principles - we do not source from countries on the WHO Health Workforce Support and Safeguards List, we provide credentialing and English-proficiency support, and we treat the clinicians we place as career hires rather than transactions. The result is retention rates that justify the longer cycle.

The clients we work best with

Hospital HR leads, allied-health group operations directors, post-acute care administrators, ACO and MCO talent leads, and health-system international recruitment programmes. Facilities that need both speed-to-fill on the domestic side and a sustainable international pipeline on the longer side.

What we do not run

Pure healthcare executive search above C-suite, locum tenens for physicians, and dental practice recruitment. The World AHS desks are built for credentialed clinical and allied health permanent placement.
