Meet HealthStar
At HealthStar, recruitment is more than filling a role—it’s about changing lives. For nearly 30 years, we’ve helped U.S. healthcare organizations meet critical workforce needs by connecting them with qualified, compassionate international professionals—and we support every step of the journey with care.
Our Story
At HealthStar, recruitment is personal. Since 1996, we’ve helped U.S. healthcare systems meet critical staffing needs by connecting them with exceptional international talent—while supporting every candidate like family.
We began as a small, family-run agency placing physical and occupational therapists. By 1998, we expanded to Bachelor degree-prepared nurses, deepening our commitment to ethical, long-term placements. Today, we specialize in direct-hire recruitment across Texas and New Mexico—building strong teams and stronger futures.
Our mission is led by CEO Dr. Erin Baird, a former state workforce leader who brings deep experience in public-private partnerships and purpose-driven leadership. Her background managing multimillion-dollar workforce programs—and her heart for service—shapes how HealthStar operates: with integrity, care, and a drive to do good well.
Whether we’re guiding hospitals through talent shortages or helping a nurse build a new life, we stay focused on what matters most—people, purpose, and a lasting impact.
“HealthStar was the first to offer a solid plan—and everything just flowed from there. They’ve brought in so many nurses successfully, and I can say from experience: you’re in good hands. Even now, years later, they still check in. I’ve received birthday and Christmas cards—they haven’t forgotten us. That kind of care says a lot.”
