Start here: reading travel therapy agency reviews for patterns
This site is for travel therapists who want to read agency reviews for patterns rather than star ratings, and for travelers who want to write one. Start with what a review cannot tell you, then learn the signs of a fake review before you weigh any agency’s page.
Who is this site for?
Therapists choosing an agency, travelers thinking of switching, and travelers who want to share their own experience. The same specific complaint from many reviewers is a signal; one bad day is not.
One fact comes first. The publisher of this site is a travel therapy agency, and it is also one of the agencies reviewed here. The site does not rank agencies or combine ratings into one score, and every page carries the ownership line so you can weigh what you read with that in mind.
Where should you start?
- What a review can’t tell you: what agency reviews structurally miss, including on this site, and the questions that fill the gaps.
- How can you tell if agency reviews are fake or paid for? One of the newer guides, on what the FTC’s rule on fake reviews bans and the signs of paid, insider or planted reviews.
- Red flags in agency reviews: the patterns that signal trouble, and how to weigh what you read.
- How we verify reviews: what happens to a review sent here. Staff read it, then it is published exactly as written or not published.
- Can you post a review of your agency, pay included? A newer guide on what federal labor law protects when you share pay and agency experiences, and what to keep out of a review.
When you are ready to share yours, write a review asks you to leave out patient information and facility names.
If you have read the reviews and want to put your own questions to an agency about a real contract, ask a ProTherapy recruiter: Find my next contract.
What on this site comes from data, and what is written?
Each agency page shows that agency’s public ratings from Glassdoor and Facebook, rendered from a ratings file that links each source and records the date it was read; the site never combines them into a score. The short account of each agency on its page is drawn from that agency’s profile on TravelTherapyCompanies.com, in plain words and without figures.
Reviews sent through the form reach the pages only through a renderer that publishes a review exactly as it was stored, and only once staff have approved it. It shows the reviewer’s first name, last initial and discipline, never an email address or a full name.
The newer guides are generated from a data file that lists every source with the date it was read. The FTC’s consumer advice is among them, and its advice is plain: “Check how recent the reviews are, and watch for a burst of reviews over a short period of time.” The guide on reviewing your agency rests on the National Labor Relations Board, which says that under the National Labor Relations Act, employees “have the right to communicate with their coworkers about their wages.” The checklists and the agency-choice pages are written guidance.
How should you weigh a single review?
As one data point. A single review tells you what happened to one traveler, at one facility, with one recruiter, at one point in time; it says little about your next contract. Look instead for the same specific complaint repeated by different reviewers over months: late pay, stipend lines that changed after signing, a recruiter who stopped answering after the start date.
Read the dates as well as the words. A burst of short, glowing reviews in a few days is one of the signs the FTC tells consumers to watch for, and a review that names no setting, discipline or contract detail is hard to weigh either way. When a review raises a question that matters to you, put it to the agency directly and ask for the answer in writing.
How do you reach a recruiter?
This site places no one, and reading it commits you to nothing. If you want to talk about a contract, use the “Find my next contract” link on this page; it asks your discipline and the states you want, and a recruiter takes it from there.
ProTherapy Staffing, which publishes this site, is owned and run by licensed physical therapists. Put the same questions to its recruiter that this site tells you to ask any agency, and read its reviews here with the same care as the rest. If you only want to watch for openings, the job alerts page sends new contracts in your discipline by email, daily or weekly as you choose.
Frequently asked questions
Does this site rank agencies?
No. Each agency page shows its public ratings from Glassdoor and Facebook with the date they were read, and the site does not combine them or rank agencies.
Are reviews edited before they are published?
No. Staff read each review, and it is published exactly as written or not at all.
Can I mention my pay in a review?
The guide on reviewing your agency covers what federal labor law protects when employees discuss wages, and what to leave out, such as patient information and facility names.
