Jimmy Landrum

Jimmy takes the time to get to know you and your goals before trying to find an assignment for you. It’s a personal touch that I like to make sure I find the right assignment.

Jimmy, listens and responds to my request. Jimmy has provided me with several options to choose from and has been with me throughout my process. He follows up to see if I have questions about anything or if there is anything he can do to help make my travel life smoother. Great recruiter!

Jimmy is so warm and personable. He is easy to get to know and although I’ve never met him, I feel like he cares about my nursing and has my back. When I talk about TNAA to other nurses the first thing I pitch is the incredible hourly rates right now for travel nurses. The second thing is how great my recruiter has been! Happy to keep working with Jimmy. Hoping to recruit others to work with him too.

Jimmy was very thorough in making sure I understood the next steps in the hiring process and informing me about the job.

Jimmy is a great recruiter. We talked about what I was looking for in a job and he sent me several job opportunities that were on point. He's very quick to respond and very knowledgeable about all things travel.

Jimmy in my opinion goes out of his way to assist you and provide you with the jobs that you are going to be a good fit for. He is always available to answer questions, offer suggestions or just to be a listener when needed. I feel like he cares about the people that helps in this traveling line of work. He made the transitioning phase of being a staff nurse to becoming a travel nurse a breeze. Since completing my first assignment, I feel like I can put trust in him to steer me correctly when deciding on my next assignment and location. I rate Jimmy a 10/10! Ive made a referral to him and have spread his name among other co-workers who are showing interest in jumping into the traveling careers.

Jimmy deserves 5 Stars and Top Box Scores in all areas. Jimmy is an excellent nurse recruiter and is indeed an asset to the TNAA team. He is extremely effective at frontline recruiting and closing the deal from sign on to hire. He is very likable, relatable, personable and knowledgeable and has a welcoming phone presence. He is attentive to his respective recruits and remembered what was important to me as a nurse and as a person. He took the time to get to know me. He is quite gifted at determining the goals of the potential applicant and within a couple of phone conversations had me, who was not really in a hurry to sign with anyone, signed with TNAA, and against recommendations, only TNAA. The majority of travelers I know and several Travel Nurse Conference leaders directly recommend nurses and professionals to sign with a minimum of three agencies. Because of Jimmy’s effectiveness as a recruiter I just chose TNAA. I had researched several agencies for over a year and had a top 5 list I was previously planning to submit resumes and applications to and, only for lack of knowledge, TNAA was not even on that list. Jimmy and his recruiting effectiveness made me mostly forget all about bothering with the other 5 agencies. I still am only signed with TNAA. He did an excellent job recruiting me. If anything, The only very minor constructive criticism I can offer to Jimmy is to not boast the number of nurses he and the agency has placed in jobs this week and this month. I understand this information is used as a tool for validation of your fantastic team and successful placements, and is very effective in making a wavering person commit to an offer. However, it is not always the best approach to maintain consistency in the individual personal approach to recruiting your team. That information is something to be proud of, but boasted, can also feel impersonal to a person still deciding. Being rushed and then told how many nurses are being placed so successfully because you all are truly so good at what you do can make someone new or from a small town organization feel like just another number. It diminishes the impression that one’s individual needs for appropriate placement are not nearly as important as just getting them placed or hired and hired quickly. It can change the perspective of the recruit, implying that the “real” goal is just to drive up those hire on numbers. I have had patients tell me they feel like they are just cattle, not people, when they are confronted with large numbers of other patient populations or if they feel rushed. Travel Nurses are making career and life decisions, especially newbie travel nurses. They may respect the numbers but not be comforted by them. They also may not always appreciate the fast and hard push, even if they need it. ;-) Jimmy was in tune to my hesitation and my concerns and as an advocate for TNAA he persisted very effectively in maintaining communication with me and told me he placed more applications out to several other places I was interested in going when my first choice didn’t respond, and he kept the momentum in my application process going. I think, at my request, he submitted four or five applications to Baltimore alone for me. He also, in all, submitted my application and resume to 8 or more jobs in 4 or 5 different places. He worked hard to get me an acceptable offer and location and I was hired in just a few days. He explained the process and answered my many questions with patience and accuracy. He effectively used many things he and I discussed to “help me” commit to an assignment in a timely matter. In all, I had three hire offers in less than 72 hours and chose the third offer. The final two offers were places I requested and were in my top 3 places to go. I couldn’t ask for a more pleasant, successful or effective recruiter. Give Jimmy a raise because He did great. He did exactly what he told me he would do and could do. Jimmy worked very hard for TNAA and for me. Thank You Jimmy. Thank You TNAA.

He is always willing to work with my constant mind changing! He’s very flexible
