Where do they send people to? Or what do they even do? Sounds like they are trying to market commodities.
That name scares me.
Well, I think they're sending RN and caregivers in US, Australia and Canada. I was doing a research about agencies sending RN to Canada. I sent a message if they're still sending RN to Canada. A reply from the company told me that I should send a resume'. Strange! It's not that I trust the agency, I just want to have feedbacks...

In my opinion it is better to deal with a staffing firm that specializes in healthcare. This company has a reputation of treating people like cargo and they hire for all sorts of positions in all sorts of countries.
I have heard personal stories of people who were hired for one position and placed in another once they got outside the Philippines.
Be cautious anytime you deal with a staffing firm.
Better yet, use an American-based firm or a firm with an American counterpart if you intend on going to the USA.
If you are going to any other country then insist that the contract specify your position precisely and have it signed by someone at your destination as well as in the office here. Keep the original with family that you trust here in PH and carry a lawyer certified copy with you.
Care-givers are not issued legal visas for the US, so that sends up red flags to me as well from the get go.
They are selling nurses as commodities just as I mentioned above.
Are they even licensed by the Philippine government as well?
yes they are accredited with the POEA. All of my source from when searching for my agency is the POEA website.
The name alone scares me and continues to do so. It is what is used when someone is discussing commodities like sugar and corn; not humans.
