Why use a staffing agency:
We offer a “Test run” or “Try before you buy.”  For any reason, we can replace an employee and continue to do so until we find the employee that fits your needs best.  We understand that you will not discover all information needed about an applicant during an interview.  Therefore, we give you the opportunity to see them in action.

Also, we interview and process thousands of applicants.  Spotting red flags on resumes and weeding out unqualified applicants become much easier with experience. Therefore, we can quickly identify the right person for the right need.

Finally, we strive to lower your costs.  You will not have to incur any advertising and recruitment costs.  Furthermore, while the employee is working through us; we cover all payroll taxes, professional and general liability insurance, unemployment insurance, workers compensation, and benefits costs.

How do you screen your healthcare professionals?
All of our workers are employees, not contractors, who have been carefully screened.  Our extensive background checks may include: License Verification, OIG, Child Abuse Registry, EPLS and FBI fingerprinting.  Each applicant will be required to sit for a personal interview based on previous experience and future goals. We continue evaluating our healthcare professionals even after they are placed to ensure satisfactory performance and results.
