VISTA Staffing SolutionsReviews of vistastaff.com

I would rate some aspects of my interactions with VISTA as very good, but others not so much, necessitating an average score. I was very happy with my recruiters and their response time for the vast majority of our interactions. I felt they were friendly and respectful. I was less happy with an intended job placement in which I felt I was simply being strung along by the potential employer. When the assignment did not come to fruition in the stated time frame, I felt like my placement was just sitting on everyone’s back burner, when it was crucial for me to start work as intended. When I said I no longer wanted to be considered for the position it was only then—after months of waiting, providing paperwork, etc.—that anyone seemed to care about me making income. I would hope in the future that VISTA staffing no longer place physicians with employers that won’t provide even a start date or definite location. I would also hope that when a physician backs out for these reasons that the recruitment staff understands that this is abusive behavior on behalf of the employer and it should not be condoned. I also had some delays in response with regard to setting up my direct deposit—it was really down to the wire. I did get paid on time, but the added stress of waiting to see if I would have to wait another week without income was not appreciated. I’m certain that VISTA Staffing is an okay placement agency, as I have heard horror stories about others. My experience could have been better, but it could have been worse.

Obtaining Medical License was good.Hotel and housing arrangements not satisfactory. Information regarding medical job at each facility was difficult and at times confusing

I have used vista staffing for several years and initially the service was very good in terms of: the responses to my emails, assistance with assignments, searching for new assignments, travel arrangements etc. However in the past one year or so the quality of these services has significantly dropped. My recruiter contact person has changed and I feel that my new recruiter is not responding to my emails on time and sometimes not at all. On multiple occasions I had to follow up with the telephone call on some of my questions because my emails were ignored for several days. The staff that assists me with the arrangements of my assignments continues to do a great job. My car rental and hotel arrangements are always made without any flaws and for that I continue to be thankful.

Good company with some caveats Vista staffing solutions provide adequate service for locum physicians. In my experience they could improve two factors. Pay periods are such that if you work in the first half of month you have to wait till second week of next month to get paid. Most locums pay you by the end of subsequent week of your work. Also don't expect to have gas covered or airport parking if your are flying. Second when finding placement they tend to favor client more than the physician which is understandable however can leave some discontentment.

I have had timely response to queries and work assignments in the past but recently this has changed. I asked 2 different persons about a job opportunity. One did not respond, the other said she’ll get back with me but it’s been over month and she never did. Pretty apathetic.

I have been working with Vista for 2 years. My first 1 1/2 years was smooth , organized and great communication. There had been some staffing changes since that time and that transition seems to have had some ruff edges with issues of forgeting details on payment claims multiple times and lack of some communication concerning available locums shifts
