Characteristics of a Great Travel Nurse Recruiter

Recently, there was a conversation on our Gypsy Nurse Network group about the characteristics of a great travel nurse recruiter. Our group members had very similar comments.

Here are the TOP responses and characteristics of a great travel nurse recruiter.

• Someone who listens to my wants and needs, and ONLY presents me with pay packages that fit those needs and wants.
• Notify me immediately if my ideal jobs come up, push the envelope with negotiation (in my favor).
•  Prompt replies to emails with legit questions and work related requests.
• Don’t be text / call constantly. Be aware of each travelers work/sleep hours and respond accordingly.
• Don’t take travel nurses decisions personally. I’m making choices for MY betterment, not yours.
• Be a straight shooter, NO CAR SALESMAN.

• Honesty, transparency, availability
• Loyalty, a sense of humor, and the drive to go get the money for BOTH of us
