Supplemental Health Care Buffalo Nursing, Amherst NY

I was a travel nurse for this company. I really didn’t want to travel again. Atlas was by far the best company on the planet to work with but they didn’t have a contract at the facility I needed to be at. Even after they tried to take it. I had a recruiter who was brand new. Had little experience. And was very unprofessional. I had to be tested for covid 19 wa sick for two weeks. Night sweats. Fever. And I got tested. I was negative. But it took be forever to get results back and they urged me to be tested again.after I told them the lab all over the state was backed up. During my two weeks of quarantine they refused to pay me. I had to beg for them to do so. And after balling on the phone to them. They finally did. But did it with attitude. When I got my results back. I decided I didn’t want to return working for them because I had such a poor experience and they said “K” to my emails and texts.
The facility had no issue with me. This company is not run correctly and is very unprofessional. I’m elated to put my resignation notice in. I felt pressured. And mistreated my entire time here. This is why they are 3/5 stars. When I said I was quitting they told me they were black listing me. As punishment because I was sick and did not want to return to work despite nene covid 19 negative. My health issues from working at a covid hospital persisted.
I would rather work at McDonald’s. Or any other job than ever work for them again. If you are an experienced hard working nurse this company is not for you.
Atlas Med staff all the way 5/5 stars and your recruiter will never say “text me on my work phone” and respond to you with “k”. Unprofessional. Rude. Never again.

American agency ever offer plenty plenty of work for registered nurses and by the way I have the best the best recruiter call and ask for Steve Greco

I interviewed with this company on 3/9/20. The interview was done in a common style for the most part, but on a few occasions the interviewer asked me to repeat a number of things I'd just told him which was kind of amusing, just not very professional. I politely restated, however, having interviewed hundreds of people throughout my own career, it's not something I would ever do unless I was trying to purposely trip a person up (which I would never do).

Toward the end I was asked for three work-related weaknesses. I gave an honest answer: I gave one weakness of over-working and having it affect work-life balance, it's the one thing I have always had trouble with, but I simply had no others. I've had a lot of success in my career: I get along well with others, I show up on time, I don't take days off, I'm reliable, I meet and exceed goals, I earn bonuses, and I earn promotions. That's been the situation everywhere I've gone which has allowed me to come back to places I've worked before, and the only reason I was at SHC for an interview is due to layoffs at previous jobs which no employee can control. I don't feel comfortable making up something just to answer, that's not honest, and I gave my honest answer.

Once the interview was over, the interviewer shook my hand and then asked me "if you're given an offer, when would you be able to start? " After I told him I could start immediately, he asked me if I would interview with another person as well, and I said "absolutely". The interviewer went to find this other person but he/she was not in that day, so the interviewer came back and informed me of this, no problem. The interviewer shook my hand again, then gave me his direct company business card. I think we can all agree that these are not common actions to perform if an interview has not gone well from an interviewer's perspective.

The next day, the agency I was with called me to let me know that I was not selected for the job. I was told it was because I didn't give the interviewer any work-related weaknesses (that's actually not accurate, I did give the only honest one I had) and that I seemed "annoyed" during the interview (although I never moved, sighed, frowned, or answered angrily, and certainly never raised my voice or anything of that nature), and since no example of my being "annoyed" was given I'm not sure how to address that except to say that I wasn't annoyed by anything, if I were I would've excused myself and left.

To sum up:

1. If you're interviewing someone and think it hasn't gone well, it would be best to end the interview at the conclusion of your checklist, if not sooner. Seeking out other personnel for a second interview is not appropriate if there is no interest after the first and can even be construed as dishonest if there is no interest. Further, it wastes the time of the initial interviewer, it wastes the time of the second interviewer, and it wastes the time of the interviewee. In this situation, no one benefits.

2. Asking interviewee's to repeat a list of what they've said comes across as a bit confrontational and appears as an attempt to trip the interviewee up. Interviewee's are already a bit nervous as it is so that will affect short-term recall. The role of an interviewer is to put the person they're interviewing at ease as that will bring out the best answers.

3. If there is no interest afterward, it's inappropriate for an interviewer to give an interviewee their direct business card.

4. Unless an interviewee has said something off-color or disrespectful, it's not at all professional to communicate to the interviewee's agency that the person "seemed" >insert negative< without an actual example of what was said/done to give that impression. All that does is negatively affect the interviewee's relationship with the agency from a perception standpoint, and that's not at all fair to a person you've already decided not to hire. It's just adding insult to injury.

It's a mutual feeling that this wouldn't have been a good fit. Fortunately, I was hired the next day someplace else.

Lee capotosto and Thomas nelson are by far the best in the business
