Who pays fees and when?

Hospitals do not pay anything — healthcare agencies pay a simple 2% platform fee on signed timesheets only. No upfront costs, monthly minimums, or hidden charges.

Can any agency see our clinical shifts?

No, only healthcare agencies in your approved network can see and respond to your shifts. You control which agencies can access your requirements.

How do you ensure clinical compliance?

Workers are pre-verified by agencies for clinical qualifications, registrations, and compliance requirements. The platform tracks and alerts for expiring certifications.

Do you support emergency department shifts?

Yes — urgent clinical staffing including emergency, critical care, theatres, and other time-sensitive roles.
