Connect with in-market nurse practitioners

Expa surfaces licensed nurse practitioners before they hit job boards, from newly certified FNPs, AGACNPs, and PMHNPs to experienced providers seeking better patient populations, autonomy, or specialty alignment.

Problem

Primary care gaps are widening. NP supply can't keep up.

As physician shortages worsen and telehealth expands, demand for nurse practitioners is skyrocketing. FNPs, PMHNPs, and ACNPs are being recruited aggressively across every care setting, from rural clinics to hospital systems to venture-backed startups.

Same channels, same saturation

NPs receive constant outreach from recruiters, many messages generic and irrelevant. What matters now isn't volume. It's understanding their specialty, practice model preference, scope of practice concerns, and career trajectory.

Strong roles, generic messaging

When every posting advertises "autonomy" and "collaborative culture," nothing differentiates. NPs want to know: What's the patient panel size? Supervising physician availability? State practice authority? Administrative burden? EMR system?

More job posts, less traction

Listing on more platforms won't solve your hiring gap. The best NPs aren't actively searching, they're employed, selective, and exploring quietly. What works is identifying in-market signals early and engaging with personalized relevance.

Solution

Reach NPs traditional recruiting can't find

Three ways Expa surfaces nurse practitioner talent early

New NP graduates

Connect with newly certified nurse practitioners entering the job market (FNPs, AGACNPs, PMHNPs, and specialty NPs), often before they've committed to their first role.

NPs exploring a change

Identify practicing NPs showing signs of transition interest, seeking different patient populations, better work-life balance, full practice authority states, or specialty transitions.

Geographic and scope-of-practice matching

Find NPs with ties to your region or those relocating to full practice authority states: program alumni, military-trained NPs, or providers with family in the area.

AI that thinks like an NP recruiter

Specialty and certification filtering:

Surface candidates by certification (FNP, AGACNP, PMHNP, WHNP, PNP) and match to your patient population and clinical needs.

Practice model alignment:

Match NPs based on preferred settings (primary care, urgent care, specialty clinic, hospital, telehealth) and scope of practice expectations for your state.

Convert passive interest into active leads:

Engage NPs browsing your careers page with 24/7 AI chat that qualifies based on specialty, patient preference, and relocation or schedule needs.

Do you have any open PMHNP positions in the Chicago area?
We don't have any openings in Chicago at the moment, but we may have roles that fit what you're looking for. Mind sharing a bit more about what matters most in your next job?
I want to focus on therapy and med management, not just 15 minute med checks. A smaller caseload where I can actually connect with patients would be ideal.
Got it. There's actually a community mental health role in Evanston with a 20 patient weekly cap that sounds like a strong fit. Want to hear more?

Success stories from the field

We were desperate for a psychiatric mental health NP for our rural clinic. Expa found a newly certified PMHNP who grew up two counties over and wanted to return home. She wasn't on any job board. We hired her in three weeks and she's been with us for over a year.
