Managing contingent staffing across multiple facilities requires speed, visibility, and reliable access to qualified clinicians. For healthcare recruiters, traditional staffing processes often involved lengthy sourcing cycles, large candidate pools, and significant coordination before staffing teams could identify and advance qualified clinicians.
MedSquirrels became an additional staffing partner to help the facility access more qualified travel nurses and allied health professionals while continuing to work with its existing staffing partners.The result was a more streamlined approach to candidate sourcing, interviews, credentialing, compliance, and contract clinician staffing.
The Challenge
The healthcare clinic needed to improve access to clinicians while managing workforce requirements across multiple locations and specialties.
Travel nurse demand
Travel nursing represented a major area of contingent workforce demand, requiring a consistent pipeline of qualified and committed clinicians.
Slow candidate sourcing
Traditional agency workflows could involve reviewing large candidate pools, sometimes with approximately 80 candidates in a cycle, while still requiring significant coordination before qualified candidates reached staffing decision-makers.
Hard-to-fill specialties
Respiratory therapy, pediatrics, and radiology positions remained difficult to fill consistently through existing recruitment channels.
Limited staffing visibility
Recruiters needed clearer visibility into candidate status, interviews, rates, credentialing, and placement progress across multiple facilities.
Administrative complexity
Managing interviews, candidate communication, compliance documentation, and workforce technology changes added more work for already busy internal teams.
The solution
MedSquirrels joined the facility’’s existing vendor ecosystem as an additional healthcare staffing resource. No exclusivity was required, allowing the health system to expand its talent pipeline while continuing to work with established partners.The approach gave the clinic additional access to qualified clinicians without requiring changes to its existing staffing relationships
