What Sets Us Apart

What Our Travelers Say About Us

“I traveled with Ventura MedStaff for the better part of 2022 and I just wanted to recognize Sarah Hug as being an awesome recruiter. I was a brand-new traveler with lots of questions and anxieties, and she saw me through it all. During the past year, she’s been very responsive, approachable, and dedicated to getting me where I wanted to be. I’m very grateful to have had her by my side during my first year as a traveling OT.”

Noelle

Travel Occupational Therapist

“My experience with Ventura has been extremely positive thus far! Coming to them at a turbulent time in my career after working with another travel company, wanting out of an assignment that was not working for me at all. My recruiter Matt was empathetic, supportive, and quick to act on finding me a new placement that was a better fit. I can’t say enough great things about this company and the experiences I’ve had with them so far. I have already told all my PT friends and one of them can’t wait to do an assignment with them! I can’t wait to continue working for Ventura in my next 13-week contract that I just extended!”

Mallory

Travel Physical Therapist

"Ashley really sets the bar high for expectations of a great recruiter. She always goes above and beyond. I’m on my third contact, third extension with her as my recruiter and I have no complaints. I’d recommend her to anyone."

Li-Shann B.

"We have only worked with Tiffany for a short time, but I have nothing but good things to say about her. She is transparent, responsive, and caring. I am grateful to have her as a recruiter."

Nina G.

Allied Health - CT Tech

"I recently embarked on a healthcare travel assignment facilitated by Cara Small with Ventura Medstaff Agency, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From seamless on-boarding to personalized support throughout my journey, Cara and her team went above and beyond. Cara not only matched me with a fantastic placement but also ensured all my needs were met throughout the entire 19 week assignment. The attention to detail and constant communication made me feel valued and supported. I highly recommend Cara Small and the Ventura Medstaff Agency to fellow healthcare professionals seeking a positive and rewarding adventure."

Larry H.

Occupational Therapist

"Nicole is always available whenever I have questions, often times answering after hours. I am based in Alaska and am 4 hours behind but communication has never been an issue. She goes above and beyond to assist with any administrative tasks required of me as well (found my NPI and Medicare numbers)"

Grace B.

"Tamara worked diligently to find me a travel position near my parents home in NE Ohio. When I provided her a location, she cold called until she found the opening and created a new contract for Ventura and a great opportunity for me. Thanks Tamara."

Danae H.

"I have been working with Angie for three contracts now. I highly recommend her for many reasons. She is very responsive, she even responds on weekends (bless her soul). She always follows up and provides information to every question I ask. She advocates for me when it comes to pay negotiation with my contracts. She has been very kind and transparent since the beginning. I know I can rely on her to have my back and I truly believe she works to help me obtain the best possible opportunities."
