Our Travel Recruitment team recently recognized their top performers for 2018. Congratulations to Rookie of the Year Paige Rocker, Recruiter of the Year Eric Katz, and Unsung Hero Dennis Kachikis!

Being hailed as “the nursing hiring events of the year,” we're hosting two virtual job fairs in Texas this week. The San Antonio March Madness Hiring Event begins on Wednesday, March 20th at 11:00am and the Houston March Madness Virtual Job Fair  starts the following day, on Thursday, March 21st from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. EST. This Job fair is exclusively for  Nurses who are interested in exploring opportunities in the Houston and San Antonio Areas.

Finding your next nursing assignment can be challenging. Where do you go to find your next opportunity? If you’re like many nurses, you’ve reached out to numerous staffing providers through email, job application and phone. But, for some reason, you’re not making any head way in your search. If that’s the case, attending a virtual job fair is a great option. If you haven’t participated in one before, a virtual job fair is an online event in which employers, recruiters, and hiring managers all converge together to impart information and advice to job seekers.

While overall U.S. employment remained relatively unchanged in February growing by 20,000 new jobs, the healthcare sector itself added 20,800 jobs last month. Growth within healthcare was primarily in the ambulatory care sector, which grew by 15,500 jobs. Employment in professional and business services and wholesale trade continued to trend up, while construction employment decreased. The unemployment rate dipped slightly to 3.8%.

Each year, our Recruitment team recognizes a team member who exceeds their personal and departmental performance goals while exemplifying outstanding service and operational excellence. Congratulations to our Recruitment team’s 2018 Associate Recruiter and Employee of the Year Jessica Galvez and Regional Recruiter of the Year Jennifer Doing!
