ABOUT NEXTAFF of Sarasota – Healthcare
At NEXTAFF of Sarasota – Healthcare, we help medical practices across Florida solve one of the biggest challenges in healthcare today — finding and keeping great people.
We understand that staffing shortages in your practice don’t just create scheduling problems. They increase stress on providers, overwhelm office teams, impact patient experience, and pull leadership away from what matters most: delivering exceptional patient care.
That’s where we come in.
As a locally owned healthcare recruiting and staffing firm backed by the national resources of NEXTAFF, we specialize in helping physician practices, specialty groups, outpatient clinics, therapy practices, and healthcare organizations build stronger, more reliable teams.
We recruit daily within the Florida healthcare market and understand the unique staffing dynamics across local communities in the Sunshine State. Our local market knowledge allows us to identify not only qualified candidates — but the right cultural and operational fit for your practice.
More Than Staffing — A Workforce Partner
Today’s hiring environment is more challenging than ever. Medical practices deal with talent shortages, increased competition for experienced healthcare professionals, employee burnout, and the growing difficulty of identifying truly qualified candidates in a world of AI-generated resumes and automated applications.
Our proprietary X-FACTOR recruiting and screening process helps practices hire with greater confidence by combining advanced technology, targeted sourcing strategies, healthcare-specific recruiting expertise, and thorough candidate evaluation.
We help practices:
We specialize in recruiting healthcare professionals for medical practices and outpatient healthcare organizations, including:
Healthcare recruiting is not one-size-fits-all — especially in Florida’s rapidly changing healthcare market.
Practices need a staffing partner who understands local compensation trends, candidate movement, seasonal population shifts, commuting patterns, and the competitive healthcare landscape throughout southwest Florida.
At NEXTAFF, we combine technology-driven recruiting with real local market expertise and relationship-based communication. Our goal is simple: help healthcare organizations build stable, high-performing teams while creating career opportunities for healthcare professionals throughout our community.
Whether you need help filling one critical position or building a long-term workforce strategy, we’re ready to help.

Basketball! I was fortunate enough to play college basketball all 4 years and in 2013 we won the NCAA DII National Championship.
Getting to know prospective franchise buyers. I love hearing about their goals and dreams they want to achieve through entrepreneurship.
