At Cariant Health Partners, we believe every traveler deserves a unique experience tailored to their goals—and our recruiters and credentialing specialists work hard to ensure that happens.
Recruiter Nicole Butterbaugh and credentialing specialist Traci Doland exemplify the personalized care our entire team delivers, earning praise like this from a recent traveler: “Nicole takes time to get to know what I value. My travel experience would not be the same without the hard work she and Traci in credentialing provide.”
So how does our team turn that commitment into reality? It starts with building strong foundations for every traveler’s journey.
Preparing Travelers for Success
Nicole sets travelers up for success with preparation. “It’s important to give travelers all the info they need before they head to their assignment,” she shares, covering job details, locations and personal priorities. “Travelers who have the best experiences are the ones who go in with a ‘teammate’ mentality—helping where they can and leaving the rest,” she adds, noting their role in supporting facilities during shortages.
As a boutique agency, Cariant stands out. “We’re small but mighty,” Nicole explains. “Our team makes a point to get to know our travelers on a personal and human level.”
What makes Cariant different? “We focus on customizing each assignment to fit the unique goals of our travelers,” says Nicole. Whether it’s pursuing a dream destination, building new skills or optimizing pay, her team takes the time to listen closely. “The art of conversation lies in listening,” she notes. “The more we know, the better we can help.”
Traci mirrors this in credentialing. “We tailor each traveler’s onboarding experience to suit their personal needs,” she says, working around schedules and ensuring clear communication for a seamless process.
Ongoing Support Through Every Assignment
For Nicole, finding the right fit is key. “It all comes down to what kind of travel experience our traveler is looking for,” she explains. “We’re here to find options that get them closer to their goals.” Traci adds, “We do our best to make this process as easy as possible,” by remaining available and accommodating. The outcome? Confident travelers working in roles that suit them and make our clients happy.
New assignments can feel overwhelming at times. Nicole ensures travelers have “all the info they need up front,” like role clarity and team intros—and then makes sure she stays in touch. Traci sees credentialing challenges: “It can be difficult when travelers are already working full time or settling into a new place.” Her fix? “I assist by being concise, efficient and available,” easing their load.
Placement is just the beginning. “It’s important to remain present in their lives,” Nicole says. “Some travelers appreciate frequent check-ins, while others are content with a weekly update.” Traci complements this: “I let them know everything needed all at once; then I provide consistent updates so there’s never any confusion.”
Enhancing the Travel Experience
Traveler feedback drives continuous improvement at Cariant. “Some have asked for more flexibility with assignment length or location,” Nicole shares. “We’ve responded by offering more options that fit their preferences.” Traci notes, “I make it my goal to let them know what’s needed upfront and keep them updated.”
Teamwork shines too: “We work together well as an internal team,” Nicole says. “Many of the recruiters understand each other’s travelers—so we support one another.”
Credentialing ties it all together. “The screening process helps me ensure travelers are qualified and prepared,” Nicole says, while “Traci’s thorough credentialing ensures everything is ready before deadlines.”
“Our attention to detail and industry knowledge sets travelers up for success,” adds Traci. “Our regular follow-ups helps show them their placement matters to us.”
Nicole and Traci embody Cariant’s goal: crafting experiences that empower our travelers. As our reviews show, it’s about understanding what matters—and delivering.
