Vivian Health, headquartered in San Francisco, is a healthcare job marketplace that launched in 2017. Unlike traditional staffing agencies, Vivian aggregates travel nurse positions from multiple agencies and employers, allowing nurses to compare opportunities across the entire market from a single platform.
The marketplace model gives nurses unprecedented visibility into the travel nursing job market. You can see positions from dozens of agencies side by side, compare pay packages, read agency reviews, and apply directly — all from one dashboard. This aggregation saves enormous time for nurses who would otherwise need to work with multiple agencies.
Vivian also offers its own direct-hire staffing services alongside the marketplace. The platform serves nurses in all 50 states across 30+ specialties, making it one of the most comprehensive job search tools in healthcare. Their technology-first approach appeals to digitally savvy nurses who want maximum market visibility.
Housing options depend on the agency or employer you ultimately work with through Vivian. The platform displays housing stipend information upfront for most listings, allowing you to compare housing support across agencies. For Vivian direct-hire positions, competitive housing stipends are provided.
Vivian displays estimated weekly pay for most listings, making it easy to compare across agencies. Pay details become more specific once you engage with a particular agency. The marketplace model inherently promotes transparency by allowing side-by-side pay comparison.
As a marketplace, Vivian connects you with recruiters from the agencies posting positions on their platform. For Vivian direct-hire positions, you work with Vivian's own placement team. The platform includes agency ratings and reviews to help you choose which recruiters to engage with.

Vivian is the best job search tool for travel nurses. Instead of calling ten agencies, I can see positions from all of them in one place. The pay comparison feature saves me hours and I always end up with the best package because I can see everything side by side.

Great platform for comparing agencies and positions. The listings are comprehensive and the search tools work well. I gave 4 stars because you still end up working with the individual agency once you apply, so the experience varies depending on which agency you choose.

Vivian is my go-to for job searching. Being able to compare pay across agencies from one platform is incredibly valuable. The agency reviews help me avoid poorly rated companies. I use Vivian to find the position and then work directly with the agency for placement.
