We built Hearthstone & Co. for healthcare facilities and clinicians that expect more — faster responses, verified credentials, and a team that treats every engagement as a partnership.
Hearthstone & Co. combines the responsiveness of a local staffing firm with the standards of a larger workforce solutions provider. Houston-focused by design, compliance-driven by principle, relationship-oriented by practice.
We operate exclusively in Greater Houston. We know the facilities, patient populations, regulatory environment, and talent pool — advantages national agencies cannot replicate remotely. That local focus is what makes us a genuine healthcare staffing agency in Houston, not a national brand with a local mailing address.
Our 48-hour average turnaround is maintained by keeping an active, credentialed network ready to deploy. Speed never means skipping compliance — it means our process is efficient.
Every clinician completes license verification, background screening, drug testing, OIG/SAM checks, and role validation. Facilities receive verified candidates — not forwarded resumes.
We assign a named point of contact to every facility and clinician. When your scheduler calls at 6am with an urgent gap, someone answers. That is a standard we hold ourselves to.
Per diem, contract, travel, and temp-to-hire — the engagement is structured to fit your operational reality. Hearthstone adapts as your needs evolve.
Whether you need two CNAs for weekend coverage or a multi-role contract program, our team scales to support your volume without losing quality or responsiveness.
