Co-Founder & Managing Partner · Anders Group

Nicole Cox has spent 20 years in travel healthcare staffing and is Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Anders Group, a company she built around one conviction: put people first and everything else follows. Travelers deserve more than good assignments — they deserve to feel genuinely rewarded. Under her and her co-founder's leadership, Anders Group has earned repeated recognition on the Inc. 5000, Staffing Industry Analysts' Fastest-Growing US Staffing Firms list, and the Dallas 100.

Nicole is also the host of Navigating Travel Healthcare, Anders Group's podcast series, where she covers industry trends, career decisions, and the realities of life on assignment.

What keeps her perspective current is who she talks to: clinicians weighing their next contract, recruiters working a tightening market, and health system leaders managing workforce shortages — three groups whose decisions shape one another, and who rarely hear each other directly.
