Why people choose to work with us.

The moment I walked in to Gotham agency I was welcomed with a smile. Staff are friendly, professional , helpful, and organized. They even offered me coffee which was my favorite part of the whole process. If you need a job, Gotham agency can deliver. So come on and sign up! They will make things happen! What r u waiting for?

ER RN

OMG this has been an amazing experience! After I enrolled with this agency. I was sent to an ongoing assessment! I love the fact I m getting paid next day, I even get paid when I m sick and can t report to work. My Staffing Coordinators are always a text away! I love the support system they have!

ER-Nurse

I have been working with Gotham for almost 2.5 years now as an RN and they have been nothing but accommodating, efficient, and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend this agency- working with them is with great ease. Unfortunately I don t get to see the employees as much as I would like (communicate mostly virtually)!

NICU RN

I just wanted to say you re doing a fantastic job in keeping me updated with schedule changes and upcoming assignments. Keep up the good work. I love the consistency.

School Nurse

I m a Med Surg nurse who was seeking per diem shifts. I called and spoke to a recruiter; I was then scheduled for a phone interview. After my interview, I was emailed links for my application, tests and competencies. After I created my employee account, I uploaded all required documents. I must say I it was pretty cool and interesting! It becomes difficult to walk-in to a staffing agency and be there for over 2 hours. Good news is, I completed a paid orientation, I ve been working over 2 months now. Love texting my schedules to my assigned coordinator!
