My recruiter Jason Perla always looks out for me! I started with Aya during the pandemic and he has been in my corner every step of the way fighting for the best contracts and has been a listening ear to any concerns I’ve had. He is the best!!!

When I started traveling almost 3 years ago, I didn’t know what to expect. I have 14 years of operating room experience and thought why not see how other places function. I was welcomed by my amazing recruiter Megan Phillips. She made me feel calm and most of all took action on all my concerns. She has not only been the best recruiter but has become a friend! We send pics of our family and just chat when we can. I have recommended all my nurse friends to Megan. She truly is great at her job! Aya has overall been great to work with. I enjoyed talking with other travelers, learning their tips and making friendships. I cannot express how excited I’ve become about my job and have learned new skills that I’ll take with me!

My recruiter Joey Gambardella is so easy to get ahold of. He is honest and kind and extremely helpful in arranging contracts and truly gives you all the information needed when starting a contract. He reaches out to you throughout the duration of your contract too to check on you! Truly unheard of with other travel agencies. He is a great recruiter and I highly recommend!!

Aya has been an amazing company! However, being a travel agency, your experience can really be dependent on your recruiter. My recruiter, Cory Wagner has definitely made traveling easy, hassle free, and fun! He always goes above and beyond and also makes time to check in on you to make sure that you’re doing okay or to wish you good luck on your new assignment. Highly recommend him!

Brianna Dwinnell has been an amazing recruiter to work with!! She is fast to respond, dedicated to helping match you with a contract based on your preferences and skills, and has maintained consistent communication throughout this process! If you’re looking for a recruiter, I highly recommend requesting her specifically!

I have been with Aya and my recruiter Jen Rincon for about 7 months now and I could not be happier! I have worked both per diem and travel assignments depending on what I needed at the time. This is my first time with a travel company and Jen did a great job answering my many questions. Jen has always been on top of new job openings to make sure I’m getting the best opportunities.

As a first time Travel Nurse there comes a sense of the unknown and anxiety towards taking on a new place and job all at once.With Shelby Russo and Aya Healthcare I have been eased much of the burdens and nerves. Shelby answers text, emails, phone calls in a professional and timely manner. She knows the ins and out of different contracts, inner workings of hospitals and how to best advocate for a good experience. I couldn’t recommend her enough! 5/5!

I have worked with Shelby Russo for 5 great years so far. I have always felt like I had her support with all my career decisions, and she always worked hard to make sure I was fairly compensated and prepared. Any issue I've ever had, I knew I could bring to her and it would get resolved immediately. During my travels, I have met several other travelers who shared horror stories of awful recruiters and greedy companies. I couldn't believe such things could happen to so many people. I was truly fortunate to have hit the jackpot with Shelby and Aya on the first try. Click my link to join the greatest team I've had the pleasure of being a part ofhttps://bit.ly/4dkGoQr

I have been traveling with Aya HealthCare for six months now. My recruiter, Shelby Russo, is amazing. Any time I have an issue or a question, she's on top of it. Very thorough on my contracts as well. Thankful for having her and Leanne Crosby on my side!

I’ve been traveling for several years now with Ruby Facundo as my recruiter. She’s been nothing but amazing and attentive. She’s made my time traveling a positive one and I always feel like she’s has my back. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to travel!
