Investment Thesis Report: Healthcare Marketplace Staffing Models

While the labor market in the U.S is expected to continue improving, the U.S healthcare industry continues to face headwinds on the labor front, resulting in cost pressures and capacity constraints on health systems and providers. Marketplace staffing can be defined as platforms for “independent professionals to find work, and for organizations to engage this pool of talent.” Compared to traditional ways of recruitment and hiring, marketplace staffing allows for a cost-effective and flexible way for individuals to find jobs in their respective fields and for organizations to connect to these individuals and fill both part-time and full-time open positions. This model has gained traction in recent years in several industries. However, within healthcare, the model is only recently being applied broadly.

Thanks to Hazel Centeno for authoring this overview of marketplace staffing models within the healthcare industry.
