I went on your site and filled out my info and I notice the first thing it shows me after I put in my info is a job, the description, pay, and benefits. What makes me paranoid is the money tactic used to grab my attention, knowing that job is probably not even available by the time I submit my resume. Why would a good recruiter post a high paying job if they are legit and have travelers already. It’s almost like click bait to reel me in. I see recruiters do the same thing on Facebook.
Hey Rebecca! You're not wrong to have your guard up, a lot of job boards do exactly what you're talking about (bait and switch) ... Nomadicare prevents this by pulling jobs directly from the our agency partners so they recruiters can't just "post" a job, it comes directly from their system. And when the job is not available, it automatically pulls it down from our site :) Every job you see on Nomadicare is verified to be real and open, and the recruiters are all vetted to prevent random recruiters from doing the bait and switch tactics you're talking about! We're travelers as well, so we know all the games bad recruiters/agencies try to play on us :) You can compare jobs from multiple agencies worry free at nomadicare.com/jobs
Hi Yuvia! Great question! Agencies get paid directly from the hospital/facility that needs temporary staff aka us travelers! They're the ones who set how much they're willing to pay for temporary help which is the bill rate. The bill rate is what pays the traveler and staffing agency (who helps the hospitals onboard the traveler and get that job!). I know the bill rate number can be a little obscure but did I answer your question? We have more videos on the money that gets distributed from the facilities/hospitals here: ua-cam.com/video/nWSWnUhPf1w/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/7PceTs4Bzu8/v-deo.html Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm happy to help! :)
Hello!! Not a current travel tech, but looking into agencies! I was talking with one and they pretty much told me that they don't do reimbursements because the agencies that do, take that reimbursement money out of your pay anyways so it's not a benefit to even ask.. I haven't seen anyone talk about this. I want to know if this is possibly true? Is it just a trick tactic to make the company seem more interesting when they say **look at all these things I can reimburse you on.** TIA !!
Hey Caitlin! Reimbursements for things like travel and licensure DO come from your bill rate (that is the only place money exist in this industry), but it's not necessarily a bad thing. Agencies do try to drum it up as a marketing tactic, but essentially what's happening is the agency is giving you money from your contract UPFRONT to cover for things like travel and licensure BEFORE you complete your assignment. This 1. doesn't put all the risk on you to move and purchase licensure before getting paid and 2. if a tax free benefit, meaning you will not pay taxes on money from reimbursements. What the other agency is telling you is also a marketing tactic .. they'll say "agencies just take that money from your pay, we don't do that" ... what they are really saying is " we will pay you the same amount as them, but we don't want to take the risk and pay you upfront for costs associated with getting this job". So in the end reimbursements are overall good for a traveler, and when the agency helps you cover travel/licensure costs upfront (using money they will pay you in the future) this is not a red flag, just scammy marketing if they mislead you into thinking its "free money".

Hi! I’m interested in becoming a recruiter. I’d love to work for a company like yours. A company that is honest, invested in building a relationship with the client, and a company that has a positive attitude. How difficult is it to become a recruiter without any prior experience?
Hi Amber! Thank you so much for your kind words! You sound like a future recruiter we'd love to work with. :) Right now, we work with existing recruiting agencies and onboard their recruiters who pass our interview process. Those are who we vet and match with our travelers, so we don't have any recruiters in Nomadicare directly. There is a decent amount of training to find your niche in recruiting (nursing, therapy, allied health, etc) and different companies specialize in certain areas. Did that fully answer your question? :)
Hi Laura, thanks for the tips! Can you define what "submitting" actually means? I was under the impression it just meant applying as a candidate for a contract; does it mean actually signing a contract? Further, what is the downside to submitting when you only know a few details (location, total pay, hours/shift)?
You're welcome, Paul! Thank you for the kind comment! Submitting IS applying as a candidate for a contract. You aren't signing a contract until you well.. sign a contract😊 Submitting without knowing all details is definitely a personal choice you can make! We would just suggest finding out those details to save your time and your recruiter's time in the long-run! Additionally, once you potentially get an interview things move REALLY fast sometimes (since jobs close fast) you won't always have time to figure out all those details last minute before making a decision. If you find them out before submitting, it can make the process easier on you! But the pro to submitting (without all the details) is getting your resume in faster which can increase your shot at getting the interview!! I hope that this is helpful and I apologize for not seeing this & answering sooner!
@@Nomadicare so if you decide to interview for that contract but then you decided not to take the contract. Is this still appropriate or is this part of the submittal portion? I would imagine after your questions have been answered that your recruiter doesn't have then you should be able to make the decision then. I had a recruiter get mad at me.
Hey Lydia! Kind of depends on the type of documents, more secure items like SSN are not ideal to send via email, but something like a resume is ok to send!
Scarlot is right! As long as you have a tax home (more about that on our UA-cam channel and blog), you qualify for tax-free housing stipends and meals and incidentals stipends. The government sees your travel as a business trip, and wouldn't make you pay to live in two places. Did I answer your question? Let me know if you have any other questions-- I'm happy to help!
Good morning I have a question for you I am currently working with a nurse recruiter who is with a company that has recruiters in all different regions of the country. So if I would like to go to Phoenix for the next 13 weeks they have to pass me off to a different recruiter Which means no revenue or little revenue for them, i.e., recruiter who refers me over... So consequently the recruiter encourages me and is very adamant about getting me to stay in his region to work. Currently that is In a region that is rainy/gloomy -I would rather be in the Sun.... It's a little bit uncomfortable for me to say please hand me over to somebody else in that region.. that's where the guilty comes in for me.. I guess my question is... why is it set up that way...are most companies like this?
Hi Kathy! Thank you for asking this thoughtful question. It sounds like this company is set up in a more unique way! I would say this... you have to do what is best for your needs/goals as a traveler! We recommend working with 2-3 different agencies for this reason, not every recruiter/company is going to have jobs in ALL the areas you want to explore. And you should never feel guilty about finding a contract you feel excited and happy about! I hope this is helpful - please reach out anytime!💛

Not all recruiters are the same! Great topic and great video.
Thank you! I'm so glad we can spread this message to our travelers.
I wanna know where these agencies are getting the money to pay the staff. It seems like this concept popped up out of nowhere

How about the recured ask you for your documents bay Email? I was asked for my documentations through email, and I said no.

Do agencies pay for the lodging or is that on us? Thanks.
They pay for it, and it is not taxed since it’s not your tax home.

@@Nomadicare what is a tax home?
