Nursing Recruitment Agency for RNs, LPNs & CNAs

‍

Looking for your next nursing opportunity? RelianXR is a nursing recruitment agency that connects RNs, LPNs, CNAs, and other healthcare professionals with employers looking for qualified clinicians. Instead of searching through hundreds of listings, tell us what you're looking for and we'll help match you with opportunities based on your experience, specialty, schedule, location, and career goals.

What a nursing recruitment agency does

A nursing recruitment agency like RelianXR works differently than a job board. Instead of leaving you to sort through hundreds of postings on your own, our nurse recruiters learn your license, specialty, schedule, and goals, then bring you specific openings that actually fit — permanent, travel, and per diem roles alike.

Employers use us the same way, in reverse. Instead of screening a stack of applications themselves, they tell us what a role requires and we bring them qualified, credential-verified candidates. That's the core difference between a nursing recruiting agency and a general job board: matching, not just listing.

Roles our nurse recruiters place

RelianXR's nursing recruiters place candidates across the full range of nursing licenses, plus allied health professionals for employers who need broader clinical staffing support.

Roles we recruit for:

  • RNs — ICU, ER, medical-surgical, telemetry, maternal health, OR, and more
  • LPNs — clinics, long-term care, and rehab settings
  • CNAs — hospitals, long-term care, and home health
  • Allied health professionals — PT, OT, SLP, radiology and respiratory technologists, and more

As a healthcare recruitment agency, RelianXR isn't limited to nursing roles alone, though nursing remains our core focus. Tell us your license or certification and we'll match you across the full range.

Placement options

  • Permanent (direct hire): a staff position with benefits and long-term stability — the employment agency side of what we do.
  • Travel & contract: fixed-length assignments, often around 13 weeks, at competitive rates.
  • Per diem: individual shifts you pick up on your own schedule.
  • Local contract: contract terms and pay without relocating.

How our nurse recruiters match you

  1. Tell us what fits — your license, specialty, the schedule you need, and where you want to work.
  2. We match you — a recruiter brings you permanent, travel, or per diem roles that fit, and handles the legwork.
  3. You choose — pick the role that's right for you, and we support you through credentialing and onboarding.

Specialties and settings we place nurses in

Demand runs consistently strong for critical-care, emergency, medical-surgical, and telemetry RNs, along with surgical-services and maternal-health specialties. LPNs are in steady demand across long-term care, rehab, and clinic settings, and CNAs remain essential across hospitals, long-term care, and home health.

Whatever your license and specialty, our nursing recruiters can tell you honestly where demand is strongest right now, rather than pointing you toward whichever opening is easiest to fill.

For nurses working with our nurse employment agency

If you're a nurse or allied health professional, RelianXR helps you find a role that fits without juggling applications across multiple employers. One conversation covers your license, specialty, schedule, pay expectations, and where you're willing to work — then we match you to openings.

Whether you want a permanent role with benefits, a flexible per diem arrangement, or a travel contract, we'll find the fit, share honest pay information, and support you through credentialing and onboarding. It's always free.

For healthcare employers

RelianXR helps hospitals, health systems, post-acute providers, and home-health agencies fill roles with vetted, credential-verified candidates matched to the unit — not just anyone with an open shift they'd take.

We support permanent recruiting pipelines, contract coverage for census swings and leaves, and per diem pools for ongoing flexibility, sized to whatever your staffing plan requires.

Where RelianXR places nurses

RelianXR's strongest coverage is in Pennsylvania, with additional placements across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Wherever you're licensed to work, tell us and we'll check current openings in that market.

Why choose RelianXR as your recruitment agency for nurses

Most staffing agencies push whichever opening is easiest to fill. RelianXR's recruiters take the time to understand your specialty, schedule, and goals first, then match you to roles that actually fit — which is why our placements last.

Experience and expertise you can trust

Our recruiters track hiring patterns across every market and specialty we serve, so we can tell you honestly where your license and experience are in the strongest demand, not just what's fastest to fill.

Frequently asked questions about nursing recruitment agencies

What does a nursing recruitment agency do?

A nursing recruitment agency like RelianXR learns your license, specialty, schedule, and goals, then matches you directly to openings that fit — instead of leaving you to search job boards on your own. We do the same for employers: instead of screening a stack of applications, they tell us what a role requires and we bring them qualified, credential-verified candidates.

Is there a fee to work with a nurse recruiting agency?

No. RelianXR is always free for nurses and other clinicians. Employers pay our fee, so there's never a cost to the candidate.

What's the difference between a staffing agency and an employment agency for nurses?

The terms are often used interchangeably. RelianXR functions as both: we place nurses in permanent employment agency roles (direct hire, benefits, long-term stability) and staffing agency roles (travel, contract, and per diem work), so you choose the arrangement that fits your goals rather than being limited to one model.

Do nursing recruiters only place travel contracts?

No. Our nurse recruiters place permanent roles, travel and local contract assignments, and per diem shifts. Tell us which type fits your life and we'll focus the search there.

How do I get started with a nurse recruitment agency?

Tell RelianXR your license, specialty, preferred schedule, and where you're willing to work. A recruiter typically reaches out the same day with roles matched to you.

What states does RelianXR recruit in?

RelianXR's strongest coverage is in Pennsylvania, with additional placements across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.

Do I need an active license before contacting a nursing recruiting agency?

It helps, but isn't always required to start the conversation. Tell us where you are in the licensing process and a recruiter can advise on timing and next steps.

Can healthcare employers post more than one opening with RelianXR?

Yes. Employers can work with RelianXR on a single hard-to-fill role or build an ongoing pipeline across permanent recruiting, contract coverage, and per diem staffing.

Are nursing recruiters different from a hospital's own HR department?

Yes. A hospital's HR department represents that one employer. RelianXR's recruiters work across many employers, so we can match you to whichever has the best fit for your specialty and goals, not just whichever posted the job you happened to see.

What roles does a healthcare recruitment agency like RelianXR place?

Primarily RNs, LPNs, and CNAs, plus allied health professionals including physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and radiology and respiratory technologists.

Is RelianXR only for RNs?

No. We place RNs, LPNs, CNAs, and allied health professionals. Whatever your license or certification, tell us and we'll match you to roles that fit.

How fast can a nurse recruitment agency place me?

It varies by role and location, but many candidates hear from a recruiter the same day they reach out, and credentialing for per diem or contract roles can move within days.

What to expect when you work with RelianXR

It starts with a conversation, not an application form. A recruiter learns your license, specialty, and the schedule and setting you're after, then matches that against real current openings.

We verify your credentials up front, share honest pay ranges before you interview, and coordinate scheduling so an offer turns into a start date quickly. Employers get the same clarity: a defined intake of the role's requirements, vetted candidates matched to fit, and coverage options that scale with need.

After you start, your recruiter stays reachable — for onboarding questions, schedule adjustments, or your next move when you're ready.

Whether you're a clinician ready for your next role or a facility building a staffing plan, we turn real market knowledge into your advantage.
