I have been a physical therapist for over 5 years in outpatient and acute care settings and have only been in permanent/PRN positions before I considered doing travel PT. I really didn't know what to expect when looking into it and was initially overwhelmed by all the companies reaching out to me; however, I am extremely grateful that I was able to join the Preferred Healthcare team. I am just finishing my first assignment which I had a great experience and I am excited to start my second one! Vincent Hull was my recruiter and he was very helpful, knowledgeable about the entire process and made sure I was satisfied with my assignment/placement. I highly recommend Preferred Healthcare and Vincent Hull as a travel company for anyone looking for a great experience, location and compensation!
Vincent and Preferred Healthcare have been extremely helpful in finding me awesome travel positions! I am currently on my second assignment with them and I have no complaints at all so far. My recruiter (Vincent) is always checking in and making sure everything at the assignment is going smoothly. He has been awesome trying to help me figure out the best housing options and best locations. So far preferred has been able to find me two assignments in a very short amount of time with very competitive pay. I highly recommend them!
I have worked with Preferred for over three years now. My first 1 1/2 years I had a great experience. My recruiter was outstanding, but unfortunately left the company. My next recruiter also left and then I had the recruiting manager temporarily, which was unfortunately a very bad experience. I requested a new contact/recruiter and was paired up with Megan. Megan has been great and does her best to be transparent and communicative. I have worked with two other companies prior to Preferred on the east coast who had limited contacts/positions on the west coast. Preferred has a lot of good contacts/placements for California/Pacific NW.
I have had great success working with Preferred this past year, landing a few acute care travel placements that have served as just the right fit for me! I appreciate that my recruiter and staffing manager have been genuine, kind, and have kept my best interest in mind from start to finish. They provide an easy flow of communication, offering speedy responses, and are never pushy or bothersome! Highly recommended staffing agency and I am looking forward to continue working with them!
I have worked for three travel therapy agencies and Preferred Healthcare Staffing is, BY FAR, my favorite. My recruiter, Megan, was very proactive and attentive--consistently checking in at least once a week to make sure everything was going well at each of my assignments. Any staff from different departments that I had contact with was always very friendly and helped me get what I needed done so I could maintain my state and national compliance. I have very much enjoyed working with Preferred and hope to continue working with them in the future.
