RN Nurse Manager – Medical Surgical
“We had been down a pharmacist for over two months and not for lack of trying. That is when we contacted Truett Nealy at Nealy Pierce to aid in our search efforts. When he originally told us he would be able to find a candidate within two weeks I was skeptical, but he kept to his word. Two weeks later we had a quality pharmacist accepting a job offer. I would highly recommend him to help in all of your staffing needs.”
“Truett was more than just a recruiter, he was an invaluable coach throughout the whole hiring process. He was always available, even on the weekends, and was very informative and patient. He went above and beyond by helping my fiancé find a job at the same hospital where I was hired. Things could not have run more smoothly. I owe Truett a lot of gratitude.”
