Pros
THE best recruiter I have worked with in my 4 years as a traveler. Natalie has stellar communication, responding promptly to text messages (my preferred choice of communication), and listens without judgement. Whether it's rate negotiations, shift preferences, or a general concern about the facility Natalie has never left me feeling unsupported. Additionally, dealing with Host Healthcare has been a seamless experience from compliance and onboarding.
Cons
Generally speaking, Host Healthcare doesn't always have the highest rate on the market. Having gone with competing agencies in the past, I have often been disappointed and unsupported and ultimately found it wasn't worth the small pay bump
