The Traveler’s Guide to Making a Marketplace Profile

Written by Meredith Warren | 3/9/23 12:00 PM

From various licenses and certifications to physically getting on the road, you have your hands full. So it's nice to have a healthcare job platform that makes it as easy as possible to apply for the jobs and assignments you're actually interested in.

Marketplace puts you in the driver’s seat when it comes to finding assignments. Your travel healthcare job search starts when you build your personal Marketplace traveler profile and gain full control of how, where, and when you work, as well as who can see your information.

How to create a Marketplace profile

Whether you're a travel nurse or allied health traveler, the first step towards entering the traveler-driven market with Marketplace is creating a traveler profile. After receiving your confirmation email, you can set your personal preferences.

Personalize your account

Completed traveler profiles are significantly more likely to land you the job you want — and you only have to do it once. After you've uploaded and saved your credentials in your traveler profile, you don't need to worry about losing data or repeating the process.

First, add details about your employment history, education and certifications, licenses, professional references, and supporting documents. Then, add a profile picture! A good-quality photo helps you stand out among other applicants, whether you're looking at travel nursing or travel allied health jobs.

Traveler job preferences

Customize your account even further with a specific set of job preferences. Choose your healthcare department(s), specialty/specialties, top five preferred states for travel, top 10 cities in the United States you'd like to travel to, three shift types, and three job types, as well as your desired pay range. These specifications help narrow down your search so that you can spend more time on the options that matter most.

Building a professional resume with the fullest explanation of your employment history will help you to quickly find and apply to your ideal travel job/s.

Unique Marketplace features

Dedicated to healthcare travelers, Marketplace is constantly evolving to keep up with the healthcare staffing market. In addition to a personalized traveler profile, there is a myriad of other features that simplify healthcare job searches, applications, and hiring processes.

Marketplace's commitment to transparency ensures you have all the information you need to narrow down your travel job search with various staffing agencies:

  • Job type
  • Placement location
  • Estimated weekly work schedule
  • Pay package
  • Type of healthcare facility
  • Available start date
  • Shift type
  • Length of assignment
  • Staffing agency

The more you know, the better. 

Find allied health and travel nurse housing

When we asked about recurring pain points in the staffing process, many travelers shared that it’s a struggle to find secure temporary housing.

Traveler Carolyn said she and her fiancé have noticed “some places are harder than others to find housing in, and we have avoided some available assignments because of the lack of housing options.”

So we partnered with Furnished Finder to remove housing barriers and offer diverse options for your home away from home.

Browse through fully furnished apartments, houses, condos, hotel rooms, and more with complete transparency into utilities, pet friendliness, size of space, available move-in date, minimum stay, plus more. Use the filter and sort functions to further funnel down your housing options so you can find the perfect one for you.

Rate and review agency recruiters

After you’ve completed a healthcare travel assignment, you’ll have the opportunity to rate and review the agency recruiter who assisted you through the job process. Like you, agency recruiters have their own profiles, so you and other travelers are able to provide meaningful, written feedback, which may help you choose between staffing agencies.

You can also rate your recruiter on their ability to meet your needs, communication, knowledge, the personality fit, thoughtfulness, and efficiency using a five-star scale. Browse previously submitted recruiter ratings and reviews to determine whether a recruiter will be a good fit for you and your healthcare career goals before you get started.
