Their compliance and quality is vetted no less than once per month by the military.‍Each applicant is first asked to submit an online application, after which a recruitment coordinator reviews the resume in order to ensure a skill set that meets our minimum standards. Once the coordinator vets the resume, she matches the skill set with the recruiter most experienced with that line, ie. Home care, ICU, Step Down..etc. The recruitment coordinator will always lead the process with an email and a phone call in which they are told to please contact them if they are not happy with their recruitment representative or the process. Recruiters are evaluated on their complaint resolution rates.‍Saratoga Medical provides robust benefits including, United Health Insurance, United Dental and Vision.

Their perspective ranges from permanent/ contract, temporary to travel. Their ability to staff different types of needs make them  better able to assist their employees and valued nurses as their needs shift, say from travel back to a contract assignment or vice versa, and because they have the unique ability to serve healthcare workers for a longer period of time they invest much more in 1) finding the right people that meet or exceed minimum standards 2) developing a real and meaningful relationship with each one 3) offering a benefits package that is geared to a longer term relationship. They think beyond 13 weeks.‍They started from a Government contracting organization and now services travel and private clients across the US.
