Top Ten for 2018

H I G H WAY H Y P O D E R M I C S

01 / 05 / 2018

This is a good place to briefly, but effectively, describe your product or services.

Number Ten

ATLAS MEDSTAFF

The travel nursing industry has evolved, and Atlas was born out of the evolution. Let’s be honest, the old recruiter model is inefficient and no longer represents what you as a professional need.

Nurses are sophisticated consumers. You know how to quickly and effectively research online. When it comes to partnering with a staffing firm, you know how and where to do your research. There is a lot of power in that research, and ultimately it will drive your decision on the agency you partner with.

Only the best recruiters will earn the trust and respect of the nurses that put their heart and soul into their profession. Atlas is focused on being the very best at matching great people to great facili-ties. They have worked very hard to build a brand that emphasizes their ability to eliminate the head-aches of the job search and provide their traveling nurses with the very best opportunity available. That’s the Atlas Difference. Together they can do amazing things.

Atlas is a veteran owned company. They don’t have layers of management sitting in offices col-lecting big checks, or private equity firm owners only interested in the bottom line. That means better pay for our nurses, more freedom for our recruiters, and a happier work environment for all.

2017 was a slower year for travel healthcare staffing. We saw quite a few mergers of companies, including one that affected our previous Top Ten Companies, Rise Medical Staffing and IPI Travel, which have both been bought out by Advanced Travel Nursing. We have two of our honorable men-tions that have graduated to the Top Ten, FUSION Medstaff and PPR Travel Nursing. We even have a NEW #1 One!

There are 3 requirements to be a Top Ten Company: (1) Have to have at least 20 company evaluations in the last 5 years.

(2) Must have an updated list of your benefits. (3) Must have an updated company profile.

Highway Hypodermics takes pride in this list, and we will defend it’s honor! We check email validity and now have the capability to track IP addresses. Any suspicious activity will be thoroughly investi-gated! In fact, we had two companies that were disqualified this year related to suspicious activity.
