Travel Hiring vs Perm Hiring

 

Perm Positions:

Managers sort through all candidates, select preferred ones, invest time to connect (often multiple interviews) in person bc they personally need to qualify the candidate & find the right long term fit for their existing team chemistry.

 

Travel Positions:

        1.      Every profile submitted has been screened to hiring managers specs prior so every candidate is qualified.

        2.      Travel positions are temporary, facilities have less exposure, and can cancel contracts if they feel the need.

        3.      The better the job location and pay the more submittals.

        4.      Managers are aware Travelers submit to multiple jobs when looking for their next assignment and generally don't                            notify facilities or answer calls once they've accepted a new position.

        5.      Hiring personnel have multiple travel positions they need to fill constantly.

 

The accumulative result:

        1.      When you get a call, 80% of the time they already plan to offer!  The calls are usually brief, 5-10 mins. They are simply

                 confirming the candidate is still available (and gives both parties an opportunity ask/answer questions if there are any)

        2.      If you miss the call - they simply move down the call list to the next candidate. 

        3.      They can offer multiple people the same job, first to accept gets the job.

        4.      Answering the call or calling right back when missed is THE Key to getting the offer!  Of Course you can't sit and wait

                 for a call & if you're on shift you shouldn't be on the phone.

​

Additionally:

You should only be submitted to Jobs/locations/rates that you want and will accept if offered. So every call from a facility should

be an acceptance unless something goes crazy wrong in the interview.
