Why Choosing the Right Allied Health Recruitment Agency Matters
Therapists, technicians, and technologists, you're in demand! Whether you're a PT, RT, cath lab tech, or one of America's many other essential allied clinicians, there are opportunities waiting for you all across the country.
But with so many jobs available, why would you need to work with an allied health recruitment agency in the first place? The truth is, there are some pretty good reasons for doing so.
For instance, an agency can give you access to jobs you wouldn't otherwise find — assignments that aren't available on the job boards that everybody else uses. And the best agencies also offer more competitive pay, plenty of networking opportunities, access to expert recruiters, and a host other benefits.
Checklist: How to Find the Best Allied Health Recruitment Agency
And that's just the beginning. To make sure you're really getting the most from the opportunities currently available to you, then make sure you partner with an agency that can offer:
✅ A nationwide selection of allied job opportunities
If you don't travel, it might seem sensible to partner with an agency that only offers local jobs. With a nationwide company, though, you'll get access to not just a bigger variety of jobs across the country, but better local opportunities too, thanks to the exclusive partnerships offered by the best allied health recruiters.

✅ Full pay transparency
How much pay will you be taking home in your next assignment? Make sure your allied health recruitment agency tells you exactly how much — including the exact amount of total stipends available to allied travelers — and you'll always know just how much you're earning, helping you make the best decision for your budget.

✅ Exclusive assignments
When it comes to landing the best jobs, the clock is always ticking! Skip the delay of third-party jobsites — where listings are often weeks old — and get fast access to the jobs you want to see, when you want to see them: Make sure your application is one of the first by working with an agency that has direct relationships with employers.

✅ App-based bookings and scheduling.
Let's face it, you're probably on your phone and not in front of a computer when you're browsing jobs. Whether you're at a restaurant or in bed, choose an agency that makes it easy to hunt for new opportunities with a fast, easy-to-use app. (Bonus points if you can also use it for easy schedule adjustments once you're on board.)

✅ A reputation for excellence
Healthcare staffing has become a huge business, and many new agencies have sprung up in recent years to capitalize on that fact. Make sure the staffing provider you choose is established in the industry with a long-standing reputation as a great place to work — both for clinicians like you, and the recruiters you'll be working with to take your next best career step.
