Marketplace is the ultimate one-stop-shop for healthcare travelers in every specialty and field. To gain exclusive access to all things healthcare travel-related, you first have to join Marketplace and build your traveler profile. But, once you sign up for your Marketplace profile, then what? There are many features to explore that make it easier to land your ideal healthcare travel job. Let’s find out!

 

Customize your traveler profile

So, here you are, traveler. You're ready to add your mark to your Marketplace profile, but where do you start?

First, share who you are with the Marketplace community and add some personal information. No, we don’t need to know your life-long secrets, but instead, tell us about your division category, primary specialty, and other specialties.

Then, add some more details about yourself like what makes you a desired healthcare traveler? How do your personal care methods and techniques benefit the patients you serve? Why did you decide a healthcare travel career?

Once you’ve bragged a little about yourself, it’s time to get more detailed with your professional travel career. Within your traveler profile, there is designated space for you to add previous and current healthcare employment positions, education and certifications, state licensing, personal and professional references, as well as any other documents you need to easily keep track of.

Your traveler profile is what sets you apart from the other healthcare travel candidates, so make sure you’ve customized your profile as much as possible to showcase who you are as a professional traveler. After all, your traveler profile is your golden ticket to your next healthcare travel job.

 

Set your job preferences

Now that you’ve built your Marketplace profile, you can set your specific job preferences to help you narrow down your job search. To set your preferences, simply select your:

  • Healthcare department(s)
  • Specialty or specialties
  • Your top five states
  • Your top 10 cities
  • Three shift types
  • Three job types
  • Your available start date

You can even take it a step further and opt in for emailed job alerts that match your specific preferences. That way, you won’t miss out on the jobs you want most.

Save your new job preferences to your profile and share it with staffing recruiters and healthcare agencies, along with a PDF copy of your traveler profile to act as your professional resume. When employers know your must-haves upfront, it increases your chances of getting what you want.

Find your travel healthcare job

So, you’ve set up your Marketplace traveler profile, customized it, and added your travel job preferences. What’s next?

Now it’s time for you to find your dream travel job. Don’t worry—Marketplace makes this step as easy as possible with total transparency into all things job-related. As you browse for your next healthcare travel assignment, pay attention to these key items to help narrow down your job options:

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

As they say, the more you know, and as a professional healthcare traveler, the more you know, the happier you’ll be. Since Marketplace offers complete job visibility, you can find the healthcare travel job you want with less research and hoops to jump through. Plus, this traveler-driven Marketplace offers professional autonomy, so you’re the main person in charge of your future.

 

Secure your assignment housing

Okay, you’ve created your profile, customized it, added your travel job preferences, and found your next assignment on Marketplace. So now is the time to secure your temporary housing for that upcoming travel job.

Lucky for you, Marketplace makes this easy on you, too, through a partnership with Furnished Finder. Once you’ve found the job posting that appeals most to you, to see nearby housing options, click on the posting, scroll down to read through the information, and then you’ll find a section labeled “Nearby Housing,” which shows you lodging locations close by that job.

From there, you can view all housing options and peruse through condos, apartments, houses, and more until you find the one within your budget that feels like a home. View more details and find out if pets are allowed, if the unit is fully furnished, and then some. When you’ve found the right space for you, simply click the posting to book the unit through Furnished Finder. Then, pack your bags and get ready to head out for your travel nursing or allied health job.

 

Leave a recruiter rating or review

Now here you are, traveler, living your best life on assignment. Or maybe you’ve just freshly completed the job. Either way, here’s what comes next: Recruiter ratings and reviews.

Your healthcare recruiter should be one of your biggest fans who help guide you through your travel assignment, before and after the job. And you have the chance to share your experience with your fellow Marketplace healthcare travelers through Marketplace agency recruiter ratings and reviews.

Here you’ll find a five-star scale that measures several recruiter characteristics, like:

  • Their ability to meet your traveler needs
  • Their communication style
  • Their level of knowledge
  • The personality fit between you two
  • Their thoughtfulness
  • Their professional efficiency

You can also leave a written review to describe what you appreciated (or didn’t appreciate) about your healthcare agency recruiter. Just know, when you submit a recruiter review, the agency has the opportunity to approve, reject, or reply to your comments.

Once you’re done leaving your own, check out recruiter reviews submitted by other travelers, and explore recruiter Marketplace profiles. There, you’ll find:

  • A link to their staffing agency website
  • Divisions and specialties they focus on
  • Traveler paid time-off details
  • Details on company 401k options
  • Information on healthcare worker referral bonuses
  • Insurance options

Recruiter ratings and reviews not only enhance the transparency of Marketplace, but also increases traveler autonomy. You’re in control of your healthcare travel career and Marketplace is the ideal tool to help you swiftly find what you’re looking for in a healthcare travel job.

 

Rinse and repeat

So, you’re on Marketplace—now what? Now, you create and customize your traveler profile, add your travel job preferences, browse and find your next healthcare assignment, find your temporary housing, complete your assignment, and leave a recruiter rating or review. After you’ve completed those steps, then you start again, but this time at finding your next travel job.
