More about working here
Moving here
Illinois is not a compact-license state and uses a flat 4.95% state income tax, so plan licensure and take-home accordingly before you move.
Experienced nurses
The employer is a private Chicago-area healthcare recruiting firm matching nurses into local client settings rather than running a large hospital campus itself.

More about Healthcare Recruiting Specialists
The employer itself is a private healthcare recruiting firm founded in 2008, headquartered in Chicago, with a stated aim of matching clients and candidates in the Chicago region. You would not be joining a large hospital campus; you would be stepping into a charge role at an assisted living/memory care setting the firm is staffing. Charting is listed as Epic or Cerner depending on the site. Public review data is thin — Glassdoor shows 3.2 out of 5 from only two ratings — so you will want to ask direct questions in the interview about schedule, ratios, and support on the floor.
Provide healthcare recruitment service in the Chicago region; match clients with talent for outcomes that work for both client and candidate.

Culture and working life
What to consider
The good
- Charge Nurse scope includes care plans, meds/IVs, and dementia/memory support
- Explicit charge duties to supervise, mentor, and evaluate staff
- Northbrook location with short access to Chicago and family-oriented neighborhoods
- EHR experience path in Epic or Cerner
- Private firm focused on Chicago-region healthcare placements since 2008
The hard parts
- Only two Glassdoor ratings (3.2/5), so peer feedback is limited
- No published pay, ratios, scheduling, or float policy in available facts
- Illinois is not a nursing compact state
- Employer is a recruiting firm, not the direct care campus — placement details matter
What to weigh
Glassdoor shows only a 3.2 out of 5 rating from two reviews, so public nurse feedback on this employer is still very thin.
