Direct-hire healthcare & dental recruiting
Care, staffed by people who care.
Direct-hire recruiting for healthcare and dental teams that need more than another stack of resumes. We find, screen, and connect you with professionals who fit the role, the team, and the work.

An open position creates real pressure
It’s more than an HR problem.
An open position means another shift someone has to cover, another schedule that gets stretched, and more time spent screening applicants instead of running the team. We help you find the right person — so your team can get back to the work that matters.

Direct-hire recruiting
Built for the long term.
We recruit permanent healthcare and dental professionals who join your organization directly. We manage the search, screening, and introductions while you make the final hiring decision.
Qualified candidates. Thoughtfully vetted.
Every candidate we introduce goes through a structured screening process. We review qualifications, experience, and fit for the role, verify professional licenses and credentials, and check professional references. Background screening is coordinated according to each employer's requirements and applicable law, with the candidate's authorization. The specific checks and their timing depend on the role.

Sourcing, structured interviews, and a review of experience, employment history, and role requirements.
Credential Verification
Verification of professional licenses, certifications, and relevant education.
References & Background

Candidate Presentation
Candidates authorize each introduction, and we coordinate interviews and support the offer process.

About Rosterra
Clinically informed. Recruiter led. People first.
Rosterra Talent is an independent healthcare and dental recruiting firm built around a simple idea: hiring should feel more human on both sides of the table.
Founded by Sonya Yousefzai, Rosterra brings together firsthand healthcare experience and years of talent acquisition and operations experience to approach hiring differently — looking beyond credentials to understand the person, the role, and the team behind each placement.
Woman-owned & operated
Owner-led searches
Every client works directly with the people responsible for the search.
Healthcare & dental focus
We understand the environments, credentials, and expectations behind the roles we recruit.

Meet the founder
Meet Sonya.
Healthcare taught me what a good hire looks like. Recruiting taught me how to find one.
My career has taken me through both healthcare and talent acquisition.
After training in practical nursing at Algonquin College in Ottawa, I worked as a Registered Practical Nurse in Ontario. Those years showed me firsthand how staffing decisions affect patients, coworkers, and the quality of care.
From there, my career moved into talent acquisition and operations, with experience in recruiting, onboarding, training, scheduling, and the systems that support successful hiring.
Rosterra Talent brings those two worlds together. My goal was to build a recruiting firm that understands the work behind the job description and recognizes the person behind every resume.
For employers, that means a more thoughtful hiring process. For candidates, it means working with someone who understands that finding the right workplace matters just as much as finding the right job.
