Coverage model first
We pressure-test the req against rooms, ratios, call and case mix. Sometimes the right hire is a CAA, not a third MD.
The recruiting arm of Anesthesia Operations Consultants
We start every search with your coverage model, not a job post. Anesthesiologists, CRNAs, CAAs and anesthesia leaders, matched to the rooms, ratios and call schedule you actually run.
For anesthesia departments, hospitals & ASCs
An open anesthesia seat shows up as cancelled cases, coverage premiums, a bigger stipend request and a tired team. Our parent company models those costs for a living. We put that work to use in hiring.
We pressure-test the req against rooms, ratios, call and case mix. Sometimes the right hire is a CAA, not a third MD.
Screened by people who know anesthesia, for the case mix, autonomy and culture you run, not for keywords.
Comp, call pay and schedule are benchmarked before the offer goes out, so it gets accepted and the hire stays.

A working session on rooms, ratios, call and spend. You leave with a clear hiring target.
A role profile and a market-checked comp range, approved by you before outreach.
Direct outreach to clinicians who fit, including those not on job boards. All screened clinically.
Site visits, offer, licensure and privileging, coordinated so nothing stalls.
We follow up with you and the new hire. The goal is retention, not a filled seat.
Market data
We rely on current market data in every search, and through AOC we have access to compensation and staffing data across the country. Here's a sample.
Median posted annual pay by state, six months to September 2026. States with at least 5 postings stating annual pay.
Vacancy cost estimator
Use your own numbers; the defaults are placeholders. This counts coverage cost only. Cancelled cases and turnover come on top.
For anesthesiologists, CRNAs & CAAs
Most recruiters can tell you the base salary. Because we sit inside an anesthesia consultancy, we can tell you how the group actually operates.
How call is split, how it's paid, and what post-call looks like in practice.
The actual supervision model and scope of practice, not just what the brochure says.
Contract and stipend context, so you know whether the group you're joining is likely to be the group you work for in two years.
We check the offer against the market before you negotiate, not after you sign.
No CV needed to start. Tell us what your next permanent role has to get right, and we'll come back with groups that fit.
