PediaStaff

This is my first contract with a travel company and it couldn't have gone more smoothly from the interview to the onboarding process to my first day of work at my new placement.  I was able to get a position with a great school district in the area of the country I was hoping for.  I don't know if it was only luck, or if Pediastaff was able to work some magic, but my placement is the perfect fit for what I was looking for.  My manager/recruiter has been amazing.  She checks in with me and has provided more information than I could have asked for to help me adjust to my new city and she doesn't even live here!  I have access to an OT mentor if I need it so I would never feel like I didn't have a network of professionals to connect to at my company and at my placement.  So far I'm only in the first month of employment at my placement, though I've been working with Pediastaff to get this position for the last several months, and it's going great.  
I have full benefits which are a bit pricey, but that's to be expected with a plan that offers nationwide coverage vs. local coverage.  There are options to contribute to retirement after I've worked a certain number of months.  They have competitive reimbursement for travel, licensing, and continuing education.  Overall a great experience so far and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.  Highly recommended.

From my first conversations 10 years ago with the owner of the company to my interactions with the recruiters, I have always felt that they placed me in the settings that matched my skill set and desires. They supported me clinically and professionally by providing continuing education money and time off for me to complete my NDT certification, and for that I am forever grateful. Working for Pediastaff, provided me with not only travel opportunities for exploring different parts of the US but it also allowed me to try different settings in the field of pediatrics including schools, early intervention, and outpatient services. Their team of recruiters are always available, easy to talk to, and prompt with their responses. The name, Pediastaff, is well known and respected in the community. I would highly recommend them. I have experience working with other contracting companies and Pediastaff out shined the others, especially in the areas of
- matching my desired settings and location
- getting to know me
- offering the most in compensation
- promptness with phone calls
- assistance with resolving any issues that occurred while placed at a site
- assistance with perm and temp employment
- having the most pediatrics placements/opportunities
- sense of genuineness among all of their staff and recruiters. Other companies have a high turn rate with recruiters and this is just not the case with Pediastaff. I always had the same recruiter.

For as long as I can remember in my professional career, I always dreamed of becoming a traveling therapist, and worked toward that end. Having no previous experience with the contract employee industry and being slightly overwhelmed by the volume of companies offering their placement services, I believed that when the right recruiter came along, I would know it. Live for your hopes!

From the first contact with my recruiter at Pediastaff, I knew that I was speaking with a professional who took great pride in her company and its mission statement. Her voice told me that I could believe my best interests were at the heart of her practice.

The job search began at my pace, with my personal needs at the forefront. I wanted to try this new life with a toe-in-the-water approach, rather than a plunge. Within a few weeks, I was interviewing for the school-based Speech-Language Pathology position that I currently hold. A perfect match in terms of my experience and need for a challenge! 

The support of the entire Pediasatff team has been phenomenal in terms of professional growth. I love the weekly newsletter, access to an experienced SLP to field clinical questions, and knowing that someone is always there to talk! 
That first dip in the water has made me want to continue to be part of the Pediastaff team, and begin the search for my next placement. Thank you, Pediastaff!

PediaStaff has offered me an incredible amount of opportunities through travel and placements to meet my personal needs. These experiences have offered me the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally. The PediaStaff recruiters have always been supportive, readily available and willing to mentor me in my professional career. Being a new graduate upon beginning my career as an occupational therapist, the contracts that I chose were vital in paving the way to my ultimate goal. The PediaStaff employees took the time to listen to my concerns, requests and needs with each individual contract. I was able to work year round or take time off whenever I felt the need. Working for PediaStaff has been an incredibly positive experience in exploring not only every corner of the country, but also every field and setting I desired. I now have my own pediatric practice and also work as a clinical coordinator for dozens of therapists through PediaStaff. I could not have met these ultimate goals without my experiences through PediaStaff.

PediaStaff provided me with my first job out of graduate school. I got to travel to different parts of the country and gain the pediatric experience I needed to get where I am now. The PediaStaff recruiters have always been supportive, readily available and willing to mentor me in my professional career. Being a new graduate upon beginning my career as an occupational therapist, the contracts that I chose were important to pave the way to my ultimate goal. The PediaStaff staff took the time to listen to my concerns, requests and needs with each individual contract. I was able to work year round or take time off whenever I felt the need. During my time with Pediastaff, as a contractor, I built the confidence I needed to be an independent and self-sufficient pediatric therapist. I am now confident in my skills and I owe a large portion of this to Pediastaff for supporting my continuing education, fining the right contracts for me and supporting me through my contracts as a new and timid graduate.

I began with Pediastaff at a pediatric clinic in south Texas. I loved the fact that they were very straight forward, and clearly outlined the expectations. I had only been with the company a few weeks when a hurricane hit the south Texas town where I was working. Pediastaff immediately intervened to evacuate my family to a safe location out of harm's way, pay our expenses and continue to pay my salary until we could return to our home location and resume working. We decided we did not want to continue with that location, and Pediastaff aided us in moving to another location in the Northwest. We have received extraordinary care with this company, and since then we have joined them at ASHA, and really have loved the experiences. My husband recently graduated with his SLP degree and they immediately placed him in a position. Both of us now want to continue with Pediastaff in a new setting where we can work together. I have spent the last 7 years with them, and they have been an extraordinary employer.

I was a contracted school psychologist for Pediastaff, and was impressed with the company from start to finish of my contract. Having never worked for a contracted company before, I didn't know what to expect from the company nor from the school district I would be supporting. 

My recruiter and every other person I contacted at Pediastaff always went that extra mile to ensure that I was supported, that my questions were answered in a timely manner, and that I was kept up-to-date on any information regarding my job or placement. They also sought and utilized feedback on how to make their company an even better place for their contractors out in the field and for the school districts we served. 

One thing that stood out for me was realizing how respected Pediastaff was with the school district where I was placed. That, along with warm dealings I'd had with everyone at Pediastaff, made me realize how unique this company is!

This is my first experience as a contract employee. I am thoroughly delighted with my recruiter at Pediastaff! She has been positive, supportive in my endeavors, and generous with her time throughout the job search and beyond. My recruiter found an extraordinary CF-SLP opportunity for me where I have worked this past year. 

Pediastaff has many resources such as a weekly newsletter, an experienced SLP available to answer clinical questions, a blog, and  a permanent online library filled with an array of real-world articles and resources. The technological features of the Pediastaff website facilitate smooth coordination between their team and job seekers. 

The Pediastaff team is respected nationwide. The team members have years of experience and are truly knowledgeable in their field. I highly recommend Pediastaff!

A day of work at PediaStaff is always busy and fast paced however stress is not an issue.  Everyone that I work with has become not only a valued colleague but a lifelong friend and there is respect for each other.  There is a willingness to help with any project whenever you need it.

After working for PediaStaff for a few years, I asked management to adjust my responsibilities to give me more challenges and to remove me from a project that just did not suit my particular talents.  They were so willing to work with me and find a better fit for me within the organization.

I enjoy working for this company because they provide a solid, dependable and friendly work environment where I know my ideas and thoughts will be heard and considered.  They are fair and they care about their employees.
