What we check before you meet a candidate
As a staffing agency for medical assistants across every setting, here are a few things we check before any introduction
What they'll actually do
Rooming, vitals, phlebotomy, EKGs, injections, wound care, prior authorizations, or a mix. We match the candidate to the actual work, not just the job title.
Where they've worked
Primary care, urgent care, orthopedics, dermatology, OB/GYN, cardiology, and more. We look for real experience in a comparable setting.
Which EHR they know
Epic, Athena Health, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Kareo, and others. We check the actual system and their hands-on experience with it.
Whether their credential is active
CMA (AAMA), RMA (AMT), CCMA (NHA), or NCMA (NCCT), depending on the role. We verify active status before introducing them.
What they can do in your state
MA scope of practice varies by state. We check requirements around immunizations, blood draws, injections, and supervision before making an introduction.
What would actually make them move
We talk about their current situation, compensation expectations, and what they'd need to consider a move. No surprises when they reach your team.
A closer look at the medical assistant talent pool
MGMA's May 2026 poll found that 56% of medical practices are finding it harder to hire MAs than they were a year ago. And you feel that pretty quickly when you're short. Patients wait longer to get roomed, providers wait longer between appointments, the day moves slower, and the rest of the team ends up picking up the slack. One open MA position can throw off the whole schedule.
Medical assistant staffing has become harder to execute through job boards alone - there were 811,000 MAs working across the U.S. in 2024, with 112,300 openings expected each year through 2034, according to the BLS. The tricky part is finding the experienced ones. The MAs with specialty experience, strong EMR skills, and solid clinical experience are usually already working. They're not sitting on job boards waiting for the next opening. If you want to reach them, you have to go looking.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on the role, the local market, and what you're offering. Specialty and lead MA positions can take longer because there simply aren't as many people with that background.
Once you find someone you like, don't wait too long. Good MAs can be talking to more than one practice at the same time.
There are a lot of MA jobs, but that doesn't mean there are a lot of experienced MAs sitting around looking for work. The BLS projects 112,300 MA openings each year through 2034, and 56% of practices in MGMA's May 2026 poll said hiring MAs had gotten harder over the past year.
The people who apply to your posting tend to be newer MAs, people changing careers, or people between jobs. Most medical assistant staffing agencies near me and nationwide pull from the same active applicant pool. We go after the ones already working.
We check whatever the role requires, including CMA, RMA, CCMA, or NCMA certification, along with CPR/BLS, EMR experience, and relevant experience in your setting.
Then we actually talk to them. We ask what they've done day to day, what kind of supervision they've worked under, what specialties they know and why they're considering leaving their current job. We don't just introduce someone based on a resume alone.
The main ones you'll come across are CMA (AAMA), RMA (AMT), CCMA (NHA), and NCMA (NCCT). Some states require a particular credential, while most don't.
It really comes down to your state and the role. Overall, most allied health employers prefer or require certification. Whatever credential your position calls for, we verify that it's active before introducing the candidate.
We ask about this during the recruiter interview. Our candidates may have experience with Epic, Athena Health, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Kareo, Allscripts or Meditech.
If you use a specific EMR, we'll look for someone who's worked with it before. It's a lot easier than hiring someone who needs months to get comfortable with your system.
The MA you need isn't on Indeed or LinkedIn
We know where they are. We send a shortlist of MAs matched to your setting, your EHR, and your state's scope requirements.
