AVEA CRNA is the only recruiting firm designed, owned, and operated by active CRNAs — bringing 45 years of combined clinical experience to every locum and full-time placement across the U.S.
Most recruiting firms treat CRNAs as numbers on a spreadsheet. We built AVEA because we were tired of being placed wrong — by people who'd never drawn up a propofol drip or managed a difficult airway.
As active CRNAs ourselves, we know exactly what makes a placement work: the right clinical environment, the right team dynamics, and the right contract terms. We won't waste your time — or your client's.
Whether you're chasing flexibility with locum work or ready to plant roots in a permanent role, we match you based on what you actually value — not just what's convenient to fill. We handle the paperwork, the negotiations, and the logistics so you can focus on doing what you trained for.
Browse Open RolesASCs, rural hospitals, anesthesia groups, and health systems across the U.S. trust AVEA to send candidates who are clinically excellent and culturally aligned. Our CRNA recruiters screen differently — because they know exactly what "qualified" really looks like on the floor.
Schedule a Strategy CallA 30-minute call with a CRNA recruiter covers your goals, timeline, preferred settings, and non-negotiables. No generic intake forms — just a real conversation.
Our network is deep and our matching is precise. We don't flood you with irrelevant candidates. Facilities get vetted CRNAs; CRNAs get roles worth considering.
We guide every step — credentialing, contract terms, travel logistics, onboarding. We stay present through day one and beyond.

They simplified the process and provided great candidates very quickly — fitting not just from a skill aspect, but also culturally. Working with a team that understands the work, because they are active CRNAs, made the difference.
Thank you to Kristin, who has been overwhelmingly responsive day and night. AVEA's dedication and thoughtful approach has made a real difference. I would highly recommend AVEA CRNA.
I've been working with other recruiters for a long time and have never had such a promising candidate so quickly. I am very impressed with how fast they came up with a potential new team member.
AVEA CRNA was founded by two Florida-based CRNAs with 45 combined years in the OR, the ICU, and everything in between. After experiencing firsthand how broken traditional recruiting was — slow, impersonal, and deeply unfamiliar with what anesthesia practice actually requires — we decided to build the firm we always wished existed.
We're still active clinicians. We understand overtime, call, difficult cases, and what it means to walk into an unfamiliar facility cold. That's the lens through which we place every single candidate — and why our clients keep coming back.
Whether you're a facility with an immediate need or a CRNA exploring your options, a 30-minute strategy call is where it starts.
