Medical Staffing Agency and Travel Nurse Agency FAQs:

What Is a Medical Staffing Agency?

Job locations include hospitals, urgent cares, doctors offices, pharmaceutical companies, biotech companies, and home care.

How Do Medical Staffing Agencies Work?

Healthcare Staffing Agencies are complementary to the candidates seeking jobs. Agencies are compensated by the employers via a finders fee or percentage of the employees salary upon being hired. As a candidate, rest assured these career services don't hurt or hinder you in any way and can often get you better, sometimes unlisted jobs, and more compensation than you would be able to find in your job search alone.
