Core was my second agency and a step up in communication from my first. My recruiter responds within two hours, which sounds basic but was dramatically better than my previous experience. Pay transparency is genuine — they walked me through the package math without me having to ask twice.
Really solid agency. I’ve done three contracts and have been happy with all of them. Recruiter is accessible, pay has been competitive (though ProTherapy quoted me more when I shopped around), and the compliance process was organized. No surprises.
Fine experience overall. Not spectacular, not bad. The recruiter was knowledgeable about SLP practice which I appreciated. I eventually switched to a higher-paying agency but would use Core again if my primary didn't have contracts in a specific market.
Core has been my primary agency for two years. Reliable, transparent, and the referral bonus is real — I’ve earned a few hundred extra dollars referring classmates. Good mid-tier choice.
Good first agency experience. Would recommend Core to new grads who want transparency and responsiveness without the structure of a formal new grad program. Pay was fair for my first contract and the recruiter was patient with all my first-timer questions.
