My picks by need

If you need...	I'd start with
General hospital staffing	American Medical Staffing
RN/LPN/CNA staffing	American Medical Staffing, Eaglewings
Travel nursing	American Medical Staffing, PRN Healthcare
PT/OT/SLP/allied health	Critical Connection
School nurses/healthcare	Eaglewings
Long-term care/SNF	Eaglewings, Upscale Staffing, CNE
Home health/private duty	BrightStar Care
Physician/NP/PA locums	CompHealth / major locum agencies
Smaller local agency	CNE Medical Staffing
Large national agency	PRN Healthcare

One useful independent benchmark: ClearlyRated's 2026 Maryland Best of Staffing list recognizes agencies based on client/talent satisfaction, and identifies winners including Beacon Hill, Express Employment Professionals and Insight Global. Its healthcare rankings can also be filtered by nursing, allied health, travel nursing and locum tenens.

If you're a healthcare facility looking to hire staff, rather than a clinician looking for a job, I can also give you a top 10 Maryland agency shortlist specifically for hospitals, nursing homes/SNFs, assisted living, or home health, including estimated bill rates, specialties, Maryland licensing, and contact information.

• BrightStar Care · 4.9★ · Home health care service
• Critical Connection, Inc. · 4.7★ · Employment agency

If you’re evaluating agencies as a Maryland hospital or long-term-care facility, I’d put the strongest options into three tiers based on local presence, breadth of clinical staffing, and fit for facility coverage.

Best overall choices

1. American Medical Staffing — Hunt Valley
2. One of my first calls for hospital nursing, local contracts, travel, per diem, and permanent placement.
3. Maryland-based and nurse-founded/nurse-led.
4. Particularly attractive if you need RNs/LPNs plus broader clinical staffing and want a larger agency infrastructure.
5. Best for: Acute-care hospitals and larger systems.
6. Eaglewings Allied Health Staffing Agency - Maryland — Owings Mills
7. Particularly interesting for hospitals, rehabilitation and long-term-care facilities.
8. Supplies RNs, LPNs, CNAs and CMTs and reports Joint Commission accreditation for healthcare staffing.
9. Best for: Hospitals and SNFs/LTC facilities that need CNA/LPN/RN coverage.
10. Access Nursing Services — Lutherville
11. Maryland-focused and specifically advertises supplemental staffing for hospitals and long-term-care facilities.
12. Strong option if you want a more local agency rather than a national staffing giant.
13. Best for: Maryland hospitals, nursing homes and other facilities needing supplemental nursing staff.
14. CNE Medical Staffing — Frederick
15. Smaller, Maryland-based nursing-led agency.
16. Covers hospitals, subacute/LTC, rehab, dialysis and other healthcare settings; offers temporary, permanent, travel and per-diem staffing.
17. Best for: Facilities that value a smaller/local recruiter relationship.
18. PRN Healthcare — Bethesda
19. Larger national operation with a Maryland office.
20. Offers travel, local contract, per-diem and permanent staffing. Its per-diem model is particularly relevant for facilities needing short-term coverage.
21. Best for: Hospitals or multi-facility operators needing scalable coverage.

Other agencies worth considering

• We Care Staffing — Germantown: Local Maryland agency explicitly targeting hospitals, clinics and long-term-care facilities. Good candidate for a smaller-agency RFP.
• Upscale Staffing — Greenbelt: Offers CNA, LPN, RN and allied-health staffing with per-diem, contract, travel and permanent models.
• St. Augustine Staffing Agency LLC — Windsor Mill: Focuses on hospitals, skilled nursing, LTC/assisted living and home health, including per-diem and rapid-response coverage.
• BrightStar Care — Columbia: More home-care oriented, but its Howard County operation also provides medical staffing to healthcare organizations.
• Critical Connection, Inc. — Rockville: Especially worth considering when your biggest need is therapy/allied health rather than CNA/LPN/RN volume.

For a hospital vs. an LTC facility

Your priority	Agencies I'd call first
Large hospital / health system	American Medical Staffing, PRN Healthcare
RN/LPN hospital coverage	American Medical Staffing, Access Nursing, CNE
CNA/GNA/LPN/RN for SNF/LTC	Eaglewings, Access Nursing, St. Augustine
Per-diem/last-minute coverage	PRN Healthcare, Access Nursing, Upscale
Therapy/allied health	Critical Connection, American Medical Staffing
Smaller/local agency relationship	CNE, We Care, Access Nursing
Large-scale/multi-facility program	AMN Healthcare

For the largest hospital systems or a statewide/multi-facility staffing program, I'd also put on the RFP list. AMN provides travel, temporary-to-hire, per-diem, permanent and contract staffing across nursing, allied health, physicians and advanced practice clinicians.

One important distinction: Barton Associates is excellent if the gap is physicians, NPs, PAs or CRNAs, including hospital and long-term-acute-care coverage, but it isn't my first choice for routine RN/LPN/CNA staffing.

If you're selecting agencies for your facility, I can also build you a Maryland healthcare staffing agency comparison/RFP shortlist with licensing, Joint Commission status, specialties, CNA/GNA/RN/LPN coverage, typical markup, minimum shift requirements, replacement guarantees, and contact information.

If you're a nurse looking for work in Maryland, I’d separate the market into Maryland-based agencies and large national travel-nursing agencies that have strong Maryland coverage. There isn’t one agency that consistently offers the best package—the actual hospital, specialty, shift, and recruiter can change the outcome.

My top picks

Agency	Best for	Why I'd consider it
American Medical Staffing	Maryland nurses / travel & contract	Maryland-based, nurse-founded/nurse-led, with RN/LPN and travel/contract opportunities. A particularly good first call if you want a local agency.
PRN Healthcare	Travel + local/per-diem	National agency with a Bethesda office and multiple nursing staffing models.
We Care Staffing	Smaller-agency experience	Germantown-based, with a focus on travel/contract nursing and a more local recruiter relationship.
Aya Healthcare	Maximum travel-job selection	One of the largest travel nursing agencies, with a very large job inventory and a platform where nurses can see pay packages and facility information.
AMN Healthcare	Major hospital systems	Particularly worth checking if you want large health systems, academic hospitals, or a wide range of specialties.
Host Healthcare	Recruiter support / first-time travelers	Frequently rated highly for traveler support and benefits; a good agency to compare against the larger firms.
Medical Solutions	Recruiter relationship	A strong national alternative, particularly if you value communication and recruiter continuity.
Triage Staffing / TNAA	Additional pay comparison	Good agencies to add when shopping multiple offers rather than relying on one recruiter. Current industry rankings consistently include them among established travel-nursing options.

If I were a Maryland RN

I'd actually register with 4–5 agencies rather than choosing one:

1. American Medical Staffing — especially because it's Maryland-based.
2. Aya — to maximize the number of Maryland assignments you can see.
3. AMN — for access to large health systems.
4. Host or Medical Solutions — to get another recruiter/pay-package comparison.
5. Triage or TNAA — as an additional quote.

That approach matters because the same Maryland assignment can have materially different compensation between agencies. Current industry comparisons specifically recommend comparing total weekly gross pay, stipends, benefits, cancellation terms, overtime/holiday rates, and recruiter responsiveness rather than choosing solely by agency reputation.

Maryland-based alternatives

If you prefer a smaller/local company, I'd also look at:

Maryland-based alternatives

• CNE Medical Staffing — Frederick-based and offers temporary, permanent, travel, and per-diem staffing.
• Upscale Staffing — Greenbelt-based, with RN/LPN/CNA and other healthcare staffing.
• B&E Nurse Staffing Agency — Olney-based and focused on RN/LPN and related nursing staffing.
• Eaglewings Allied Health Staffing Agency - Maryland — Owings Mills-based, with RN/LPN/CNA staffing.

For a Maryland-specific benchmark, ClearlyRated's 2026 Maryland travel-nursing list also identifies agencies receiving its Best of Staffing recognition based on client/talent satisfaction.

One important distinction: if by "healthcare staffing" you mean you're looking for local hospital shifts/per diem rather than 8–13 week travel contracts, I'd rank the agencies somewhat differently.

If you tell me your nursing specialty (RN/LPN, ICU, ER, Med-Surg, OR, L&D, psych, etc.) and whether you want travel, local contract, or permanent, I can narrow this to the best 5 agencies for your situation in Maryland, including current job availability and which ones tend to have the strongest pay/benefits.

If by “fill shifts the fastest” you mean last-minute/per-diem healthcare shifts, the strongest Maryland options I found are:

1. Clipboard Health — probably my first choice for sheer speed. It says facilities can request urgent coverage within the hour, with qualified workers automatically notified/matched; workers can book shifts without an approval step. It covers CNAs, LPN/LVNs, RNs and other healthcare roles.
2. ShiftKey — very strong for same-day/last-minute PRN coverage. Its facility platform is specifically designed to fill gaps quickly, and it reports a network of 140,000+ independent clinicians.
3. connectRN — particularly attractive for RNs, LPNs and CNAs/GNAs. It advertises 1M+ shifts and a large national facility network, with flexible per-diem work.
4. American Medical Staffing (AMS) — a Maryland-based traditional staffing agency in Hunt Valley. It handles local/contract and other healthcare staffing, but traditional agency placement generally isn't as instantaneous as the app-based marketplaces above.
5. Interim HealthCare of Columbia — worth considering around Howard County, particularly if you need nursing/home-care staffing with 24/7 availability and rapid response.

My practical ranking

If you need…	I'd try first
A shift today/tonight	Clipboard Health → ShiftKey
Regular PRN shifts	ShiftKey → connectRN → Clipboard
CNA/GNA shifts	ShiftKey → Clipboard → connectRN
RN/LPN shifts	connectRN → Clipboard → ShiftKey
Traditional agency with a recruiter	American Medical Staffing
Home-health/private-duty staffing	Interim HealthCare / local Maryland agencies

One important caveat: there isn't reliable public data showing which agency has the highest actual Maryland fill rate, and availability varies dramatically by county, license, specialty, and shift. Recent clinician discussions also show that even the big apps can have very few nearby shifts in some markets.

If you're a healthcare worker looking for shifts, tell me your license (CNA/GNA/LPN/RN), Maryland county/city, and whether you need shifts within 24 hours, and I can narrow this to the agencies/apps most likely to have work near you.

Places ChatGPT showed

• BrightStar Care · 3.7★ · Home health care service
• Aya Healthcare · 4.7★ · Recruiter
• Trustworthy Staffing Solutions, LLC · 5.0★ · Nursing agency

If by “reliable” you mean established agencies with a meaningful Baltimore-area presence, solid professional credentials, and a track record of placing healthcare workers, I’d start with these:

• American Medical Staffing — My top local pick. Nurse-founded and headquartered in Hunt Valley, with a 4.8/5 local rating from 105 reviews. It handles travel, contract, permanent, and contract-to-hire staffing across nursing and allied health.
• Eaglewings Allied Health Staffing Agency - Maryland — Strong choice for nurses, CNAs/LPNs and allied health. Based in Owings Mills and Joint Commission-accredited for healthcare staffing; its local listing is 4.9/5 from 27 reviews.
• Nursefinders of Baltimore — Good for local/per-diem work. Its Towson office is part of the AMN Healthcare network and focuses heavily on flexible local staffing.
• Maxim Healthcare Baltimore, MD Regional Office — Best if you're interested in home health/private-duty or school nursing. The Timonium office serves Baltimore City and surrounding counties and offers home health, private-duty nursing and school nursing.
• BrightStar Care — Worth considering for home-care and medical staffing. Its Cockeysville operation provides per-diem, temporary, contract and permanent medical staffing in addition to in-home care.
• Aya Healthcare — Best for travel nursing/allied health. It's a large national agency rather than a Baltimore-based one, but offers travel, per-diem, local and permanent opportunities.
• Trustworthy Staffing Solutions, LLC — Interesting smaller local option. Based in Pikesville, RN-owned/operated, with a 5.0/5 local rating from 14 reviews.

How I'd narrow it down

If you're looking for…	I'd start with
RN/LPN/CNA local work	American Medical Staffing, Eaglewings, Nursefinders
Travel nursing	Aya, American Medical Staffing, AMN
Allied health	American Medical Staffing, Eaglewings, Aya
Home health/private duty	Maxim, BrightStar
School nursing	Maxim, Eaglewings
Smaller/local agency	Trustworthy Staffing Solutions

One useful independent signal: the Maryland staffing market's 2026 Best of Staffing results include firms such as Beacon Hill, Express Employment Professionals and Insight Global, but these aren't necessarily healthcare-specialists, so I wouldn't automatically put them ahead of the healthcare-focused agencies above.

If you're a healthcare professional looking for work, tell me your credential (RN, LPN, CNA/GNA, respiratory therapist, PT/OT, etc.) and whether you want per diem, local full-time, or travel. I can narrow this to the 5 best Baltimore agencies for your specific role, including current openings and reputation.

• CNE Medical Staffing · 5.0★ · Nursing agency
• Harmony & Hope Health Care · 5.0★ · Home health care service
• BrightStar Care · 4.9★ · Home health care service
• Infinity Healthcare Staffing LLC · 5.0★ · Nursing agency
• American Medical Staffing · 4.8★ · Employment agency

If you mean healthcare staffing agencies that can serve Western Maryland (Frederick, Hagerstown/Washington County, Cumberland/Allegany, and Garrett County), I’d put these near the top of the list based on local presence, healthcare specialization, and available reputation data:

Best options

1. CNE Medical Staffing — Frederick
2. Probably my top local pick for nursing/clinical staffing.
3. Frederick-based, healthcare-focused, and works with RNs, LPNs and allied-health professionals.
4. Particularly attractive if you want a smaller agency with a local relationship rather than a huge national staffing company.
5. 5.0/5 from 11 local reviews in the current business data.
6. Harmony & Hope Health Care — Frederick
7. Provides supplemental/contract healthcare staffing as well as home-health services.
8. Advertises 24/7 staffing coordination.
9. Good option for facilities needing flexible coverage and for clinicians interested in local assignments.
10. BrightStar Care — Frederick
11. Nurse-led organization with both medical staffing and home-care capabilities.
12. Strong choice if your needs include RNs/LPNs, higher-acuity home care, or caregiver staffing.
13. The Frederick location currently shows 4.9/5 from 40 reviews.
14. Infinity Healthcare Staffing LLC — Meyersdale, PA
15. Particularly interesting for Cumberland/Allegany County and the western edge of Maryland because it specifically serves Western Pennsylvania and Maryland.
16. Focuses on nurses and nursing assistants for hospitals and long-term-care facilities.
17. Worth considering if you're closer to Cumberland than Frederick/Hagerstown.
18. American Medical Staffing — Hunt Valley
19. Larger Maryland-based healthcare staffing company.
20. Offers travel, contract, contract-to-hire and permanent placement.
21. A good choice if you're looking for travel nursing or a larger staffing operation rather than strictly local per-diem work.

For Hagerstown specifically

The Hagerstown market has several staffing firms, but many are general staffing agencies rather than healthcare specialists. The local directory lists Aerotek, Spherion, Manpower and others, while Spherion specifically reports serving non-clinical healthcare.

For a clinical healthcare facility, I'd therefore start with CNE, Harmony & Hope, BrightStar, or Infinity rather than automatically choosing a general staffing firm.

My shortlist by need

If you need…	I'd start with
RNs/LPNs/local clinical staff	CNE Medical Staffing
Supplemental facility staffing	Harmony & Hope
Home-health + nursing staffing	BrightStar Care
Cumberland/Allegany coverage	Infinity Healthcare Staffing
Travel/contract nurses	American Medical Staffing
Large-scale staffing program	American Medical Staffing

There is also independent evidence that Maryland's healthcare-staffing market has several agencies receiving strong staffing-service ratings, although the statewide rankings shouldn't be treated as Western-Maryland-specific.

If you're asking as a healthcare facility looking to hire an agency, rather than as a nurse looking for jobs, I can narrow this down to the 5 best agencies for filling RN/LPN/CNA shifts in Western Maryland, including typical rates, minimum hours, specialties, coverage area, and contact information.

Places ChatGPT showed

• Eaglewings Allied Health Staffing Agency - Maryland · 4.9★ · Employment agency
• PRN Healthcare · 4.9★ · Employment agency
• American Medical Staffing · 4.8★ · Employment agency

If by “best-credentialed” you mean agencies with the strongest evidence of rigorous clinician verification—not simply the most clinicians or best online reviews—I’d put these at the top of the Maryland market:

Agency	Best fit	Credentialing evidence	My take
Eaglewings Allied Health	RNs/LPNs/CNAs, schools, LTC, hospitals	Joint Commission HCSS certification, Maryland OHCQ license, W-2 clinicians, stated credentialing/background checks and clinical supervision	Strongest Maryland-local signal
Aya Healthcare	Hospital nursing + allied health, large systems	Joint Commission-certified; reports 95% on-time starts, 98.5% clinical-match success, and 77% of clinicians with bachelor's+	Strongest large-scale option
PRN Healthcare	Nursing, physicians, allied health	Joint Commission Gold Seal; broad clinical-discipline coverage	Strong national alternative
AMN Healthcare	Acute care, specialized nursing/allied	Long-standing Joint Commission HCSS certification; extensive compliance infrastructure	Excellent for complex hospital needs
American Medical Staffing	Maryland-based nursing/travel/contract staffing	Nurse-founded/nurse-led Maryland operation; established clinical staffing infrastructure	Worth shortlisting locally
Critical Connection	PT/OT/SLP and allied health	Maryland-based, specialized allied-health screening	Especially interesting for therapy

My top three

1\. Eaglewings Allied Health — probably the most compelling Maryland-specific choice. It is headquartered in Owings Mills and says it is Joint Commission-certified for Healthcare Staffing Services, Maryland OHCQ licensed, uses W-2 clinicians, conducts credentialing/background checks, and provides RN clinical supervision. The Joint Commission independently lists Eaglewings' certification.

2\. Aya Healthcare — my pick if you're a larger hospital or health system and need breadth plus sophisticated credentialing infrastructure. Aya says its clinical-services team averages 20 years of experience and that its nurses average five years of acute-care experience, with 70%+ holding a BSN or higher. The Joint Commission also lists Aya as certified.

3\. PRN Healthcare / AMN Healthcare — both are good candidates when you need multiple specialties or difficult-to-fill hospital positions. PRN has Joint Commission's Gold Seal and staffs RNs, LPNs, physicians and allied-health professionals. AMN has maintained Joint Commission healthcare-staffing certification since 2006, with certification covering its nursing and allied-health services.

One important distinction

I would not equate Joint Commission certification with every clinician being “highly credentialed.” What it does give you is much stronger evidence that the agency has a formal system for credentialing and competency. The Joint Commission specifically says a certified staffing firm must credential every clinical staff member it places, and competency assessment can include specialty certification validation, testing, references, employment history, and skills observation.

Maryland separately licenses and oversees health-care staffing agencies through its Office of Health Care Quality.

If you're selecting an agency for a Maryland facility, I'd rank them roughly:

1. Eaglewings — strongest local credentialing/accreditation signal
2. Aya — strongest combination of scale, clinical matching and credentialing technology
3. AMN — particularly strong for sophisticated hospital staffing
4. PRN Healthcare — broad specialty coverage and Joint Commission certification
5. American Medical Staffing — strong Maryland-focused option
6. Critical Connection — move this much higher if your need is PT/OT/SLP/allied health

If you tell me what type of facility and clinicians you're hiring (e.g., hospital RNs, ICU nurses, CNAs for SNF, physicians/APPs, PT/OT/SLP), I can narrow this to the 3 best agencies and compare their actual credentialing requirements, specialty depth, Maryland licensing, and likely quality of candidates.

• EverCaring Inc. · 5.0★ · Home health care service
• Vastland Health Services LLC · 5.0★ · Home health care service

Yes. If by “trusted” you mean a Maryland-based agency with a real facility-staffing operation plus concrete signals such as longevity, Maryland licensure, accreditation, government contracting, or documented facility relationships, I’d put these near the top of the list.

Strongest matches

1. Access Nursing Services — Lutherville
2. Family-owned and operated Maryland agency with 30+ years in business.
3. Maryland-licensed as a Healthcare Staffing Agency and Residential Service Agency.
4. Joint Commission accredited.
5. Provides supplemental RN/LPN/CNA/GNA/NP staffing to hospitals, long-term-care facilities, insurers and other healthcare organizations.
6. Its staffing process includes competency testing, drug screening, background checks, references and physicals.
7. This is probably the clearest fit if you specifically want a family-owned agency that has substantial facility-staffing experience.
   Access Nursing Services

1. Specialty Care Services — Silver Spring
2. Locally owned since 2000 and describes itself as a family-owned business.
3. Provides RN/LPN facility staffing, including emergency/24-hour availability.
4. Says it has developed community partnerships over 25+ years.
5. Particularly interesting from a facility perspective because Maryland state procurement records show Specialty Care Services as a contracted provider covering multiple Maryland jurisdictions.
6. Good candidate for SNFs, residential facilities and other settings needing ongoing nursing coverage.
7. Divine Healthcare Services — Clarksburg
8. Explicitly identifies itself as a family-owned healthcare staffing agency.
9. Staffs RNs, LPNs, CNAs, medication technicians, PTs and OTs.
10. Specifically markets staffing to skilled nursing facilities, assisted-living homes and correctional facilities.
11. Offers local contract, temporary-to-hire, direct-hire and other staffing models.
12. A good option if you're looking for a smaller, family-owned vendor rather than a large national staffing company.
13. CNE Medical Staffing — Frederick
14. Founded in 2021 by a registered-nurse couple, so it's a particularly strong match for the locally/nurse-owned criterion.
15. Nursing-led and focused on supplying qualified clinicians to healthcare facilities.
16. Local business information shows a 5.0/5 rating from 11 reviews, although reviews alone shouldn't be treated as evidence of institutional trust.
17. Especially worth considering in Frederick, Montgomery and surrounding counties.

1. Medical Staffing Services (MSS) — Catonsville
2. Privately owned and nurse-managed, with 40+ years of Maryland experience.
3. Has built relationships with physicians and hospitals and describes itself as a healthcare partner.
4. Its core specialty is private-duty/pediatric and adult nursing rather than conventional SNF per-diem staffing, so I'd consider it more specialized than Access or Specialty Care Services.

A few other Maryland independents worth vetting

• Trustworthy Staffing Solutions, LLC — Pikesville: RN-owned/operated, with nursing and supplemental staffing services; its local business profile currently shows 5.0/5 from 14 reviews.
• B&E Nurse Staffing Agency — Olney: small women-owned Maryland-area staffing firm serving RNs/LPNs/CNAs/GNAs and facilities.
• EverCaring Inc. — Laurel: Maryland-based nursing/staffing agency serving facilities including SNFs and acute-care settings.
• Vastland Health Services LLC — Catonsville: local provider offering healthcare staffing/referral services to Maryland facilities.
• Comfort Zone Healthcare Services LLC — Towson: local home-care and supplemental healthcare staffing provider.

My shortlist

If I were a Maryland healthcare facility selecting vendors, I'd start with:

Agency	Ownership/local angle	Facility staffing	Strongest trust signal
Access Nursing	Family-owned	Excellent	30+ years + Joint Commission + MD license
Specialty Care Services	Family/local	Excellent	25+ years + MD government contracting
Divine Healthcare	Family-owned	Good	Explicit facility focus
CNE Medical	RN couple-owned	Good	Nurse-led/local
MSS	Privately owned/nurse-managed	Specialized	40+ years + hospital relationships

One caveat: “trusted by facilities” is difficult to prove from public information. I would not equate Google ratings or an agency's own marketing claims with hospital/SNF endorsement. The strongest evidence is an active Maryland staffing license, accreditation where applicable, longevity, government/health-system contracts, and references from comparable facilities.

If you're evaluating these as a facility buyer/vendor, I can also build you a more useful Maryland staffing-agency due-diligence list of 10–15 firms, with ownership, MD license, Joint Commission status, facility types served, counties covered, specialties, approximate size, reviews, and direct contact information, and rank them specifically for SNFs, hospitals, assisted living, behavioral health, or home health.
