Best Travel Agency?

Currently living in Austin, Texas but looking for a short assignment in OKC while my fiance and I get ready to PCS to Italy in May.

What are the best travel agencies to do a quick assignment? Do they even allow that short of a gig or do most require contracts? Clueless so any and all advice welcome!

Standard travel contracts are 3 months. But any length 4 weeks and up is possible, especially with travelers in such demand right now. Start calling agencies and see what fits. No such beast as a best agency. Assume they all suck and you will be in the right frame of mind for good business.

Fastaff has some that are like 4 week or even 2 weeks. Of course those are the ones you work every day of the week and whatnot. Look also on Nursefly. It pretty much combines a bunch of agencies and assignments on one site.

Don't follow those top 10 or 20 Best agency sites either even though some good companies may be in there. After many years of investigating those sites and their criteria it is based upon money referrals and a lot of slick talk that fools many new or uneducated Travelers.

Do your own assessments based upon benefits, company policies, performance of the recruiter and pay packages. Have at least 5 good recruiters/companies you are registered with and have worked for as well and keep in email contact with the others.
