About · Maxwell Ventura

I place psychologists, psychiatrists & physicians into high-paying correctional contracts in California.

Structured schedules. Strong rates. No billing, no admin. One desk, three specialties, and a credentialing team behind it — and I'm your point of contact from the first call through the end of your assignment.

The Focus

A specialist, not a generalist.

Most recruiters work every specialty in every state. I keep the desk small on purpose — a short list of specialties, with California correctional contracts at the centre of it. That's what lets me quote you the rate for your specialty, walk you through the credentialing steps, and tell you what your first week looks like.

01 / Psychology

Psychologists

02 / Psychiatry

Psychiatrists

03 / Primary Care

Physicians

Clinicians want strong rates, flexibility, and clinical work without billing or admin. My job is to match them to the contract that delivers all three.

Straight talk

The number I quote you is the number you sign.

When I give you a timeline, it's one I've watched play out before.

Beyond Corrections

Correctional is one option — not the only one.

Correctional work is most of my desk, and it's what this site is about. I also place psychologists, psychiatrists and physicians into non-correctional contracts across California. If that's what you're after, ask.
