Try PACE Staffing. They are the best recruiting agency I have ever worked with - friendly, respectful, attentive, and they always return your phone callls! :)

They also deal with a lot of healthcare providers.

I found most of my jobs on Monster.com. If you are a programmer, try Volt... but from my experience, finding a job on public job board such as Monster, Career Builder is your best bet. The reasons for ompanies to use recruiting agency is because:

1. they don't have a great office location or environment
2. they are not willing to pay for the market rate for the job
3. the job itself is difficult

So post your resume on all the major job board, if you have several years or work experience, you will most likely getting tons of phone calls from recruiters. If you are a new graduate finding your first job, using a recruiter might help.

Good luck with your search!
