ISTA Personnel Solutions is a dynamic and fast-growing BPO company. We are not a recruitment agency. We partner with international US clients and integrate our staff members directly within our clients' operations. We focus on long-term placements where you contribute directly to the client's success.
We are placing a Recruiter on behalf of a fast-growing US-based travel therapy staffing company. Our client places licensed healthcare clinicians, including occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and nurses, into 13-week travel contracts across the United States.
With over 300 open positions and a rapidly expanding client base, the business is growing faster than its current team can handle.
