PHP Client Testimonials

PHP has been a partner of our Health System for over 20 years. I oversee our contract labor department and I have personally worked with PHP for the past 18 months. PHP is our top performing vendor in the quality of candidates, the number of profiles submitted, and contract completions. I contacted Chris Eales to inquire if PHP could onboard 37 nurses to support our Epic Go-Live. We were under a very tight time constraint and had four business days to review profiles, conduct phone interviews, and offer contracts. Chris and his team were quickly able to realign resources and place a dedicated team to manage this request. His team was efficient and responsive. We were given personal cell phones and his team was available after hours and on weekends to expedite this request. Our Epic Go-Live was a huge success because of Chris’ leadership and his dedicated team. I strongly recommend PHP as a vendor partner to supply any agency needs that your organization may have. – Client since 2002

 

Great company! Easy to work with. We work with numerous agencies and PHP has had the best fill rate for the past 2 years – Client since 2013

 

PHP’s customer service is fantastic. I have had very urgent needs in the past and they are quick to respond to get someone into our facility to fill that need. – Client since 2012

 

Upon taking this job, I contracted with 4 agencies. PHP is the only one that I now use. Their staff has been reliable, screened candidates thoroughly, and has been immediately responsive when issues did arise. They have been exceptional to work with and always responded to a staffing request the same day when sent an email. PHP’s nurses have been consistently more prepared for the assignment than other agencies that I used in the past and their credentials have always reflected our skill requirements. I strongly support continued TJC accreditation for PHP and hope to use your agency for many years. – Client since 2003
