Support Throughout Your Healthcare Assignment

Healthcare staffing involves more than finding an open position.
Essential Med Staffing Agency uses separate teams to assist with job matching, credentialing, onboarding, payroll, travel arrangements, housing questions, and assignment communication.
Each team handles a different part of the process so you know where to direct your questions.

Your Main Contact for Career Opportunities

Your recruiter is usually your main contact during the job-search and placement process.
The recruiting team reviews your background, availability, career goals, preferred locations, schedule, and assignment interests.

Before accepting a position, ask your recruiter to explain the available information about the location, schedule, contract period, pay package, facility requirements, and expected start date.

Your recruiter may assist with:

Payroll Team

The payroll team assists with questions connected with assignment payments and payroll records.

Payroll support may include:

Healthcare professionals should submit timesheets and required records by the stated deadline to avoid payment delays.
