Overview
Founded in 2010, Core Medical Group has grown into one of the higher-volume travel therapy agencies, with over 2,200 active listings at any given time. Based in Manchester, New Hampshire, they serve travelers across all 50 states in settings ranging from hospitals and SNFs to home health and outpatient clinics.
Core's primary strength is volume — therapists who want maximum flexibility in choosing where they go, when they go, and what settings they work in will find Core's job board to be one of the most extensive in travel therapy. The trade-off is the recruiter-to-traveler ratio, where some travelers report less personal attention.
Pay & Compensation
Core offers competitive pay in the $2,000–$2,500 per week range for PTs. One notable option is the free housing alternative — travelers can choose company-provided housing or take a housing stipend for flexibility.
Pay transparency at Core is average for the corporate tier. Travelers looking for full pay package breakdowns may need to ask proactively.
Benefits
Core's benefits include comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance. The free housing option is a standout — travelers can choose between company-arranged housing at no cost or a housing stipend. The large job selection effectively functions as a benefit itself.
Recruiter Experience
The recruiter experience at Core is notably variable. The high volume means a larger recruiting team, and quality ranges considerably. Some travelers report excellent relationships; others find the experience more transactional.
The recruiter-to-traveler ratio is higher than at boutique agencies. The key recommendation is to get referrals to specific recruiters when possible.
