More about DAX Contracting Solutions

The company operates through two divisions: DAX General Contracting & Staffing (dax-gs.com) and DAX Healthcare Staffing (dax-hs.com), serving both federal and commercial clients. DAX is currently recruiting for a Registered Nurse position in OBGYN inpatient services at a facility in Shiprock, NM, located on the Navajo Nation in northwestern New Mexico. The position involves labor & delivery, postpartum care, gynecologic conditions, and women's health inpatient services. As a staffing contractor rather than a direct healthcare facility, DAX places nurses at client facilities, meaning the day-to-day work environment is determined by the host facility rather than DAX itself. The company emphasizes a culture of high-level communication, execution, and customer service.

DAX's stated values center on three pillars: communicate at the highest level (clear, respectful, purpose-driven communication), execute at the highest level (highest standards of performance, quality, and accountability), and serve the customer (putting customers at the heart of everything, building relationships based on trust and respect). The company emphasizes accountability, collaboration, honesty, and continuous communication as core principles.

What to consider

Glassdoor shows 'DAX Consulting' with a 5.0 star rating based on 1 review, with 100% of reviewers recommending the company. Indeed shows 'Contracting Solutions' with a 4.4 overall rating based on 7 reviews, with detailed sub-ratings of 4.0 for work-life balance, 3.6 for pay and benefits, 4.0 for job security and advancement, 4.3 for management, and 4.3 for culture. However, the Indeed reviews appear to be primarily from construction-related roles (Maintenance Supervisor, Carpenter/Laborer, Project Manager) rather than healthcare nursing positions, so their applicability to nursing employment is uncertain. The reputation score of 88 is derived from the Indeed rating (4.4 x 20) as it is backed by a larger review count (7 vs. 1), per weighting guidance.
