I am new to travel nursing & Chloe Horning was great for me in this new endeavor. I'm a "seasoned" nurse--She helped me with all the tech necessities, was quickly available when I had any questions, gave great advice about the business, and is always checking in on me to make sure things are going alright. She truly made this new experience less stressful by making it so easy!! How do I like it? Chloe was correct with the answer, If you've always wanted to try travel nursing & the nest is empty you won't regret it. Chloe steered me into directions that were a better prospect for success so I would like travel nursing & continue!! I did!! She is an amazing resource.

I had a really great experience working with my travel nurse recruiter, Katie Pabros. She was always responsive, supportive, and honest throughout the entire process. Travel contracts can be stressful and sometimes complicated, but Katie made everything feel much more manageable and was always there to answer questions, check in, and make sure I was comfortable with every step.What I appreciated most was that she never made me feel pressured and truly seemed to care about finding the right fit for me, not just filling a position. She was professional, kind, and reliable, and I always felt like she was advocating for me behind the scenes.I’m really grateful I had the opportunity to work with her and would absolutely recommend Katie to other travel nurses looking for a recruiter who is communicative, supportive, and genuinely cares about the people she works with.

I was referred to Aya by a friend/colleague. From the beginning, I've had nothing but a great experience with Aya. My recruiter, Chloe Horning, has been interactive with me in terms of assuring any potential assignment was one that would fit my needs and specifications. In addition, she always makes sure to touch base with me to assure that everything is going well, and see if there's anything I need. I appreciate her concierge approach as a recruiter, as well as the fact that she is always pleasant.

I had a great experience working with my recruiter Alexis Paz. She was very transparent about the role, including salary range, responsibilities, and interview process from the start. Communication was consistent, and she followed up after each stage with helpful feedback.

I have worked multiple contracts with aya and have only great things to say. What I love about it the most is the staff that work for them. For example my recruiter Chloe Horning is on top of my profile making sure I get submitted for the job I want and follows up with me if necessary docs are needed. I want to thank the credentialing team and all the ancillary staff that help us nurses get great contracts.

I’ve been with this company since 2020 and have loved working with them , they fulfill all my boxes as checked . My recruiter Chloe Horning had gotten me the best rates and jobs with several back to back extensions always making sure that if the rate goes up I get it . I have no taken a contract with another company Aya is loyal to me as I am to them
