Allie Castro is an excellent recruiter. She is always quick to respond. She reaches out regularly to check in with me and see how I'm doing. And, most importantly, I get the travel contracts I want since I have been working with her over the last few years. Thank you Allie!

I traveled through ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ for almost 2 years, and during that time I worked 4 different contracts. Aya’s platform always made it super easy to find jobs. I worked with Allie Castro, who was my recruiter, and she always provided clear communication and expectations. She was very responsive and just a kind person to work with. I would recommend this company and my recruiter to anyone who was looking to travel. It was some of the best years of my life!

I have had the pleasure of working with the very best recruiter, Shelley Nhan. She is the most positive and uplifting person each and every day! I always know that I am well supported, my needs are heard and I will have the best contract each and every assignment.

I’ve been with ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ since 2021, and I’ve never once felt the need to switch agencies or recruiters. That’s because I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Jessica Feldman since day one. She’s not just a recruiter- she’s a powerhouse. Jessica is driven, motivated, supportive, and one of the most dependable people I’ve ever worked with.The nurse-recruiter relationship is everything in this world, and Jessica has truly been my rock. Even when I took a year-long break from traveling, she made my return seamless. Her dedication and accountability in helping nurses land the jobs they want is unmatched. I always know I can count on her- no second guessing, no stress.And let’s be real- actions speak louder than words. I’ve been riding with the same recruiter and same agency for years, and that alone says everything. I have zero interest in ever leaving.If you're a nurse looking for someone who will truly have your back, I highly recommend ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥- and most importantly, Jessica Feldman. She’s the real deal.

I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Shelley Nhan as my travel nurse recruiter, and I can confidently say she’s been a key part of my success on this journey. From the very moment we met Shelley has been responsive, transparent, and genuinely supportive.She took the time to understand what I was looking for; not just in terms of assignments, but in lifestyle, location, and providing me with positive feed back from my employers. Every opportunity she presented felt tailored to my goals. Communication has always been clear and timely, and I never felt like just a number. What I appreciate most is Shelley’s consistency and integrity. It’s clear that she truly cares about nurses and takes pride in what she does.If you’re looking for someone who will advocate for you listen to your needs and will guide you with professionalism and heart, I highly recommend Shelley Nhan.

My recruiter with Aya, Averi (is definitely a) Winner! Words cannot express her approach. She supersedes all expectations! She is an advocate for her travelers and never gets frustrated with the process. I highly recommend any traveler to request Averi as your recruiter for the best experience with your first or next assignment!!

If the leadership team is reading this, please know that these three individuals truly embody the values of care, professionalism, and excellence that make ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ stand out.I am beyond grateful for their support and proud to be part of a company that nurtures such outstanding professionals.

This company unlocked a whole new way of life for me, everyone from my recruiter Monica H to the entire support staff have made the travel nursing experience one that changed my life.

I’m relatively new to Aya and travel nursing. Still trying to get the hang of things. It helps having a recruiter that is transparent with you from the beginning. Monica Hamilton goes above and beyond to make sure I understand everything when picking an assignment. She even fought for me when one of my assignments was unexpectedly cancelled. Travel nursing can be overwhelming, but Monica makes it simple.
