California Job Shop

Recruiting for behavioral health, legal and education employers

Working as an independent agency out of California, California Job Shop calls itself the leading independent recruiting firm in the state. It places candidates in three fields: healthcare and behavioral health, law, and education. It says it fills more than 500 positions a year.

Where it recruits

In healthcare and behavioral health, the roles on its jobs board include clinical supervisors, nurse practitioners and directors of behavioral health networks. For law firms of all sizes it recruits attorneys and counsel, with current openings in labor and employment and in healthcare regulatory work. For education, it says it helps schools find teachers and school leaders. The firm frames the work as bringing economic opportunity to professionals in these three sectors.

How hiring works

Employers fill in a contact form, and the firm arranges a call to discuss what the role needs. The firm says its approach to bulk hiring contracts is priced competitively, with contracts that run for thirty days and a promise to fill any job within that window for a flat fee. It reports that much of its sourcing reaches passive candidates, people who are not actively applying, and that this applies at any level of seniority or location.

For job seekers

Candidates can browse an open jobs page. If someone meets the requirements, or comes close, the firm schedules a short phone interview. People who do not see a suitable post can submit a resume for future roles, and the firm says a person replies to questions.
