Changing recruiter

I have done things like that. I just say I don't think we are a team match, I would like to work with someone else. If they no I say bye bye. Stinks when they don't call you back.

Fortunately I have had the same recruiter for 4 years and we are a good match. If you really like the company and feel that it is strictly a recruiter problem, then you should ask for the manager and discuss changing with them. If you are having any other difficulties, chalk it up to a bad first choice and find another company. I have heard other travelers mention this problem as well....recruite you heavily till you committ and then abandon you. Not a good practice if they want returning nurses! Good luck. Your recruiter is the key to your success traveling.

Dixielee,

I remember listing with agency after agency saying they had what assignments I was looking for. When it came down to it, no one had what I wanted....grrrrrrrrrrrr. Mountains of paperwork later I found one.

Call the company you work for and ask to speak to the supervisor or vice president over the recruiters and tell her/him your concerns and that you'd like another, more responsive, recruiter. I did this and received a call from my new recruiter in a matter of minutes. The competition for nurses in the travel industry is fierce.

When you change recruiters you deal with the new one. You won't hear from the other recruiter anymore.

I'd finish the contract and find a different company.

Did she say why she thought you should stay with a recruiter you aren't working well with? Was it a good reason?

I would (and have) said "I disagree- it's not working well for me. I'll be happy to listen to your thoughts on this, but I want to be reassigned." The "I'm the customer here!" attitude can be taken WAY too far by some people but if you want a new recruiter, it really shouldn't be a big deal for them to switch you.

And then it is up to you whether or not you tell them you are leaving after this assignment if you aren't reassigned or if you let them be surprised later.
