Is the gap going to last?
Contract staffing places one professional with your unit for a defined period, an option that can give the team more continuity than shift-by-shift coverage.

Per-diem staffing, shift by shift.
Shift-by-shift coverage for call-outs, census spikes, and weekend and night gaps. You tell us the gap, we look for the match, you confirm it.

What it is
Coverage for the shift in front of you.
Per diem means by the day. A per-diem professional covers a specific shift, or a short run of shifts, rather than a set assignment. Facilities use it when a gap opens with little warning: a call-out on a weekend, a night shift nobody on staff can pick up, a stretch of higher census that does not justify a longer contract.
Because the need is short, it is tempting to take whoever is free. We think fit still matters. The person covering the shift has to be right for the unit, not only available that day, because your patients and your team do not get a lighter version of care on a per-diem shift.
How we approach it
You confirm the match before the shift.
Tell us the gap: the unit, the shift, the specialty, and the date. We look for a professional whose experience and availability fit, and you confirm the match before the shift is filled. Nothing is placed on your schedule without your approval.
Facilities that use per-diem coverage regularly often prefer to see the same professionals return. If a particular match worked well, say so. If one did not, say that too, and we will use it to make the next match better.
How it works
From gap to covered shift.
The same four steps we use for every request, focused on the shift that needs covering.
Tell us the gap
Unit, shift, specialty, and the date. Send what you have and we'll ask about the rest.
We match for fit
We look for a professional whose experience and availability fit the shift you described.
You confirm
Review the match, ask whatever you want to ask, and approve before the shift.
After the shift
Tell us how it went. Good matches are worth repeating, and problems are worth fixing.
