ABOUT US We staff the rockstars of the nursing and allied healthcare industries. History Established in 2004 From our office in lower Queen Anne we have a 180-degree view of Elliot Bay and an unbeatable office culture. It's from this rad view that we specialize in per diem staffing, contract assignments/travel nursing, contract-to-hire and direct hire placements to nursing and allied healthcare professionals. Ryan Skjonsberg and Adam McKinnon started Axis Medical Staffing back in 2004 in an executive suite that measured just 10x10. The two entrepreneurs saw the opportunity to run a company differently than other agencies at the time. When needs came in, Adam and Ryan would run to the fax (yes, the facsimile) and send nurses’ availability to the hospitals. We were putting in the legwork other agencies weren’t. They visited facilities to ensure they always had what they needed (including the occasional snack). The first shift booked and worked was on Christmas day, 2004. Today, we're one of the fastest growing companies in Washington and we’ll put in that same legwork — and more — no matter what day it is. Our Location is Hard to Beat We may place candidates nationwide but our roots are in Queen Anne, Seattle. Whether it's the coffee shop where Axis was born or the park where we get some air during the workday, we celebrate our ties to Emerald City. WHY AXIS? Because we friggin' said so (or all of the adventure, benefits, and helpful Talent Scouts). Sometimes it's easier to describe ourselves as what we're not. We're not your average corporate “big box” staffing company. We're not sleazy business people in bad suits pushing around resumes, lying or overselling positions. We're not a tiny, inexperienced company either, we have the same amount of nationwide positions as those giant, corporate staffing companies. We've been placing top talent in adventurous careers since 2004 and we can prove we're different from the rest. You'll notice the laid back culture, but there's more. We don't like wasting time. Whether you're a rockstar nurse or a client looking for eager talent, we won't waste your time. It's easy to apply and it's easy to contact us. No gimmicks, just effective communication. We're personable, real folks working for you. We also don't really like forms. When we ditched the suits in our office, we ditched the 20-page applications and massive upfront skills checklists that you've been wasting your time filling out with other companies. We Will Rock You (or why you'll love working with us) Adventure What does adventure mean to you? Maybe adventure means your moving to a new city in the mountains or finally living a short jaunt from the ocean. Or it could mean starting a new position in a new facility in your current city. Whatever your definition of adventure may be, we'll help you get there. Pay You don't have the same experience and skills as everyone else in your position, so why should you get paid the same? At Axis, a Talent Scout will ensure your compensation is right for you based on how far you've come in your career. A little healthy competition never hurt anyone, and that's why we believe you should be rewarded for your hard work. Available Positions It can be difficult to find the right position but because we work with many facilities, you can rest assured there will be the perfect position for you. We work with Acute Care Facilities, Multi-Specialty Settings, Government Contracts, Medical Device Organizations, Correctional Facilities and School Districts, among others. Experienced Talent Scouts The first time you work with the Talent Scout assigned to you, rest assured it won't be her first tour. She knows what it takes to get you hired, prepare you for the job, and she'll stay by your side — answering questions and more — whether or not it's your first assignment. Your Talent Scout is also your main point of contact for your facility, ensuring communication is a breeze. Very Little Paperwork It's an industry thing. If it's not stacks of paperwork, it's tedious online forms. When you work with Axis Medical Staffing, there's very little paperwork. We've streamlined everything with our site and your Talent Scout. Start thinking of forms as a distant memory. Benefits There are definitely benefits to becoming an Axis Rockstar and they're some of the best in the industry. Not only are our benefits great — the added support will help you excel within your position and gain experience rapidly.
