The agency was very helpful in finding us a successful candidate for our locum CRNA position. My recruiter followed up with me regularly to make sure things were going OK. Very prompt and efficient service with credentialing information and any questions we had. Would use the service again for any locum needs we have. Completely satisfied.

❝ Terri
I was approached by many recruters as I just recently graduated from residency. Most would negotiate nickle and dime. Eric came with his best offer which was in reality THE BEST OFFER. I am extremely pleased after working with Eric and Sharon. They are always available and resolve situation ASAP. Many times, on my benefit. I would not recommend any one else but THEM.
