There’s an easier, more efficient, and all-around better way to find travel nursing jobs that lets you search, compare, and apply for jobs all in one convenient location. And it's right here!

A new way to job search

If traditional job search methods and online ads are no longer doing the trick, you’re due for an upgrade in how you look for med traveler assignments. All you have to do is create your Marketplace traveler profile, set your preferences, and get searching.

When you’re ready to hunt for that ideal travel healthcare job, Marketplace gives you several ways to find what you’re looking for. That way, you can find a travel job based on what’s important to you.

Search by travel job location

A career in healthcare travel takes you to scenic destinations across the U.S. How many other professionals can say that?

If you have your heart set someplace specific, sort for travel jobs by location! You can filter jobs on Marketplace by U.S. region, state, or city. You can also search by radius: pick a city and choose the distance to see travel jobs within that specific radius. This is perfect for travelers who might want to have a specific city nearby for days off, but aren't attached to working there (or have concerns about cost of living).

Search by travel pay

The most popular way to search for jobs on Marketplace is by travel pay. That’s right, most of the job postings tell you upfront what your estimated weekly pay will be, so you’re never left wondering.

By entering in a minimum and maximum weekly payment amount, you can quickly filter out jobs that don’t check your boxes. There’s also the option to remove jobs without pay packages from your search, making it easier for you to compare travel job pay at a glance.

Search by staffing agency

One of the benefits of Marketplace is it connects you, the traveler, to multiple sought-after healthcare staffing agencies in one place. Here, you can search by staffing agency to view jobs specific to that company or companies.

To search by agency, sort and filter by staffing company, and select the agencies whose jobs you want to browse. 

Search by healthcare specialty

You're obviously only interested in the travel jobs you're actually qualified for. Whether you're a travel nurse, PT, OT, or allied healthcare traveler, you should be able to streamline the process by filtering by specialty,

From perfusionists to med surg to lab techs to speech-language pathologists to ultrasound techs, Marketplace has the specialty jobs you’re looking for. To sort by specialty, simply select your healthcare category, and then narrow results even further by choosing your specialty or specialties and let Marketplace do the rest.

 

A focus on transparency

This traveler-driven platform was built to offer you more control in your career, so you decide when you work, where you work, and how you work.

Marketplace makes the unknowns known to make the job search and application process easier on you. When you use Marketplace to find your travel job, you’ll get immediate access to the details you’re dying to know:

  • Job type
  • Assignment location
  • Weekly hours
  • Pay package
  • Type of healthcare facility
  • Start date
  • Shift type
  • Length of assignment
  • Healthcare staffing agency

As an in-demand healthcare professional, you don’t have time to sift through thousands of job postings in the hopes to find one that’s worthwhile. Narrow down your job search to find what you’re looking for faster.

Not all travel jobs are the same. Marketplace lays it all out for you so that you can effortlessly compare your options. Comparing travel jobs enhances your choices, makes the process easier, narrows down search results, and fosters total transparency. What’s not to love?

A better way to apply for travel jobs

Once you’ve found the jobs you know you want to apply for, all you have to do is click “I’m interested” on the job posting and submit your information. If you’ve already completed your Marketplace traveler profile, we'll use that data to fill in some basic job application information, saving you time and energy.

When you apply for healthcare travel jobs, you can choose to share your profile with the staffing agency and use it as your professional resume. Of course, there’s an area for you to upload an existing resume if you have one that you’re proud of. Otherwise, give yourself one less thing to worry about and create a resume using information from your traveler profile.

After you’ve submitted your applications, your resume and/or traveler profile is sent directly to the staffing agency. From there, the agency will assign your application to a recruiter, who will then review and contact you if you meet their requirements and qualifications.

If the recruiter likes what they see from your documents, they’ll reach out to connect with you! Typically via phone call, a recruiter will get to know you and learn more about why you became a traveler and what your career goals are. This informal interview is the perfect time for you to showcase why you’re the perfect healthcare professional for the job and ask any questions that may be lurking in your mind.

So, you’ve wowed a recruiter — now what? Now your recruiter is hyping you up to the job’s hiring manager and doing their part to land you the travel gig you want. The hiring manager wants to know that you’re fully qualified for the job, so they’re double-checking your credentials, educational experience, and career progression.

During this time, make sure to keep an eye on your email and Marketplace traveler profile. You’ll know you got the job when you hear good news from your recruiter.

 

 

If you’re spending the majority of an assignment searching for your next travel job, you need a new way to job search. 

See for yourself and sign up for a Marketplace traveler profile. From there, you can browse through hundreds of thousands of high-paying travel jobs and use the advanced features to efficiently narrow down and compare job search results to find the right opportunities for you.
