Hi, I am considering taking a travel assignment in the next state we are moving to (Connecticut). There are many companies and they all do a fine job of their sales pitch and "brand". I would appreciate any info that anyone has whether it be positive or negative to help me narrow down my decision process. Thanks for your time!!

The rapport with your recruiter is crucial. Go with your impression on this .

~ Make sure your travel back home is paid for, not just travel to the next assignment.

~Check out your housing in advance. If it's not clean and safe, don't take the assignment.

~ Know what the penalty is if you do not complete the assignment.

You may find yourself in a bad situation... you need to know in advance, how to get out.

Happy trails, let us know how it's going.

I worked with Aya in MA for a Boston assignment. Did not have a good experience with the company. Loved Boston. I have worked with Rise Medical Staffing (mainly west coast assignment availability), Fastaff and Medical Solutions over the years. Have enjoyed working with my recruiters at each of those companies.
