ABOUT BROOKE BARNES
If you’re a clinician even casually exploring travel or local contract roles, you already know… the recruiter experience can be a little chaotic.Ghosting.Vague pay packages.“Quick question” messages that turn into novels.Yeah. We’re not doing that. I specialize in travel and local contract healthcare roles nationwide, placing allied health, nursing, and imaging professionals into facility-based positions that actually align with their goals — schedule, pay, location, and sanity.PTs.OTs.SLPs.RNs.CT & Rad Techs.BCBAs.If you’re licensed, clinical, and not here for nonsense, we’ll get along great.With 10+ years in recruiting (and experience managing multi-million dollar books of business), I understand both sides of the hiring equation. I know what facilities are prioritizing, where rates are realistically landing, and what actually gets a traveler extended versus quietly replaced.I love rapport. I will absolutely ask about your dog.But I also believe in clarity.No resume blasting.No mysterious rate math.No “let me circle back” disappearing acts.Just honest conversations, smart strategy, and real advocacy.While my primary focus is contract healthcare, I also partner with permanent and school-based professionals — including SLPs, BCBAs, SPED teachers, and paraprofessionals — who are exploring new opportunities.If you’re travel-curious…Comparing local contracts…Or just wondering what you should be making right now…Send the message. We’ll keep it real.
