Watch Out For These Recruiter Red Flags! Travel Nursing, Travel Therapy, and Travel Allied 

Happy to help!

Thanks! Is there anything else you have questions about?

Thank you! I'm so glad we can spread this message to our travelers.

Hey Rebecca! You're not wrong to have your guard up, a lot of job boards do exactly what you're talking about (bait and switch) ... Nomadicare prevents this by pulling jobs directly from the our agency partners so they recruiters can't just "post" a job, it comes directly from their system. And when the job is not available, it automatically pulls it down from our site :) Every job you see on Nomadicare is verified to be real and open, and the recruiters are all vetted to prevent random recruiters from doing the bait and switch tactics you're talking about! We're travelers as well, so we know all the games bad recruiters/agencies try to play on us :) You can compare jobs from multiple agencies worry free at nomadicare.com/jobs

You're welcome, Paul! Thank you for the kind comment! Submitting IS applying as a candidate for a contract. You aren't signing a contract until you well.. sign a contract😊 Submitting without knowing all details is definitely a personal choice you can make! We would just suggest finding out those details to save your time and your recruiter's time in the long-run! Additionally, once you potentially get an interview things move REALLY fast sometimes (since jobs close fast) you won't always have time to figure out all those details last minute before making a decision. If you find them out before submitting, it can make the process easier on you! But the pro to submitting (without all the details) is getting your resume in faster which can increase your shot at getting the interview!! I hope that this is helpful and I apologize for not seeing this & answering sooner!

@@Nomadicare so if you decide to interview for that contract but then you decided not to take the contract. Is this still appropriate or is this part of the submittal portion? I would imagine after your questions have been answered that your recruiter doesn't have then you should be able to make the decision then. I had a recruiter get mad at me.

Hey Caitlin! Reimbursements for things like travel and licensure DO come from your bill rate (that is the only place money exist in this industry), but it's not necessarily a bad thing. Agencies do try to drum it up as a marketing tactic, but essentially what's happening is the agency is giving you money from your contract UPFRONT to cover for things like travel and licensure BEFORE you complete your assignment. This 1. doesn't put all the risk on you to move and purchase licensure before getting paid and 2. if a tax free benefit, meaning you will not pay taxes on money from reimbursements. What the other agency is telling you is also a marketing tactic .. they'll say "agencies just take that money from your pay, we don't do that" ... what they are really saying is " we will pay you the same amount as them, but we don't want to take the risk and pay you upfront for costs associated with getting this job". So in the end reimbursements are overall good for a traveler, and when the agency helps you cover travel/licensure costs upfront (using money they will pay you in the future) this is not a red flag, just scammy marketing if they mislead you into thinking its "free money". Here is a great blog on allied health reimbursements: www.nomadicare.com/travel-allied/7-things-you-have-to-know-about-travel-allied-health-reimbursements/

Hi Yuvia! Great question! Agencies get paid directly from the hospital/facility that needs temporary staff aka us travelers! They're the ones who set how much they're willing to pay for temporary help which is the bill rate. The bill rate is what pays the traveler and staffing agency (who helps the hospitals onboard the traveler and get that job!). I know the bill rate number can be a little obscure but did I answer your question? We have more videos on the money that gets distributed from the facilities/hospitals here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nWSWnUhPf1w.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7PceTs4Bzu8.html Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm happy to help! :)

Hi Amber! Thank you so much for your kind words! You sound like a future recruiter we'd love to work with. :) Right now, we work with existing recruiting agencies and onboard their recruiters who pass our interview process. Those are who we vet and match with our travelers, so we don't have any recruiters in Nomadicare directly. There is a decent amount of training to find your niche in recruiting (nursing, therapy, allied health, etc) and different companies specialize in certain areas. Did that fully answer your question? :)

Hey Lydia! Kind of depends on the type of documents, more secure items like SSN are not ideal to send via email, but something like a resume is ok to send!

They pay for it, and it is not taxed since it’s not your tax home.

Scarlot is right! As long as you have a tax home (more about that on our RU-vid channel and blog), you qualify for tax-free housing stipends and meals and incidentals stipends. The government sees your travel as a business trip, and wouldn't make you pay to live in two places. Did I answer your question? Let me know if you have any other questions-- I'm happy to help!

@@Nomadicare what is a tax home?

@@t1relaxation your permanent address, as in what is on your drivers license.

Hi Kathy! Thank you for asking this thoughtful question. It sounds like this company is set up in a more unique way! I would say this... you have to do what is best for your needs/goals as a traveler! We recommend working with 2-3 different agencies for this reason, not every recruiter/company is going to have jobs in ALL the areas you want to explore. And you should never feel guilty about finding a contract you feel excited and happy about! I hope this is helpful - please reach out anytime!💛
