Triage is hands-down the best agency I have ever worked with. My recruiter is incredible — she remembers my preferences, checks in regularly, and always fights for the best pay. The company culture is real, not just marketing. I recommend Triage to every nurse I meet.

Switched to Triage after hearing great things and I am never going back. My recruiter found me a top-paying ER position in Nashville within days. The pay package was exactly as described and the housing stipend was generous. Five stars across the board.

Love Triage's culture and my recruiter is amazing. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is that they have fewer positions than the mega-agencies, so sometimes my preferred location is not available. But when they have a position, the quality and pay are excellent.
