Job Description
The duties of this job are primarily about making connections with other people. Relationships are formed quickly, informally, and comfortably, and gaining the enthusiasm and cooperation of others. In this job, it is very important to connect with other people: to meet new and different people on a day to day basis, to quickly form relationships, and to use those relationships to get work done. Great attentiveness to other people is required: an ability to read other people, to listen to them, and to empathize with them. Much of the work centers around working with and through other people. The job involves persuading others through gaining an understanding of where they’re coming from, and using that information to bring them to your desired resolution. Communication is almost always of a "selling" rather than "telling" nature. A lively enthusiasm is necessary. Personal interactions will generally be upbeat and cheerful, requiring someone who is warm, helpful, and friendly. Others must be put at ease, and feel welcome. This work is not detail-oriented in nature. The same easy-going, informal manner that is required of personal interactions carries over into any work products. The job is relatively free from direct involvement with details, with few strict guidelines. This job allows much flexibility in how the results are produced. There will be a fair degree of difference from one day to the next, especially with regard to personal interactions. There will be several "pots on the fire" at once, and a relatively quick pace is required to keep everything going smoothly.
JOB CHARACTERISTICS
Company Description
At Nurse First, we set out to challenge and disrupt a 20 year industry's norm. We want to make sure each traveler feels as though they are working with a company that embodies a "with" not "vs" mentality. We want the traveler to be able to fully experience all that their profession has to offer while trusting us to do our job, which is to ensure they are advocated for and taken care of by their employer while they get to experience all that their assignment has to offer. We do this by committing to a fully transparent and accountable culture. Outwardly, we changed the perception of a staffing agency and, thus, the reality of one by employing Traveler Advocates and not recruiters as our extension of the company to the traveler. Furthermore, to continue to cultivate the experience of the traveler with our agency opposed to the traveler versus our agency we compensate our Traveler Advocates by a flat amount per Traveler they have in contract and not by a percentage of profit we make off of each Traveler. Lastly, we also ensure that we are compensating you, the traveler, at a rate that is not only fair and competitive but often times far exceeds our competitors. In order to pay you more we want to take less. We choose to make less profit per contract because we believe in growing our company through trust, loyalty and then volume, in that order. Not by making as much as we can get away with off of each contract. Want a job?
