Company Summary

The market for healthcare temporary staffing agencies in the US is assessed at $10,9B in 2014, with a 7% annual growth. Temporary nursing staff agencies are a basic component of the healthcare system in America, currently providing hundreds of thousands of clinical nursing staff daily to its clients (hospitals, hospices, nursing homes, individuals).

As they are today, temporary nursing staff agencies are inefficient at servicing their clients. Their outdated conventional business model, archaic business processes and lack of technology result in a slow turnaround time and high cost for their clients.

Still managed with Microsoft Excel tools, the industry is stuck in 1985 when 'Back to the futur' was a blockbuster!

There is an opportunity to bring this industry up to par with technology and a new business model. It is time to ‘Uberize’ this industry and use technology as the major driver of the business.

In comes nursezz, with its fully automated marketplace where clients and nurses meet in a frictionless and fully compliant way, providing easy access to temporary qualified nursing staff with a direct real-time connection. With a solid knowledge of the industry, nursezz provides a great user experience and a cost-effective solution based on best practices.

While its founder boasts experience with the acquisition (due diligence) and operation of three temporary nursing staff agencies, its team’s expertise in semantic and crawling the web gives nursezz a strong competitive edge, allowing it to populate the marketplace and provide enriched candidates profiles.

nursezz wants to raise capital in order to launch a pilot test in North Carolina with its partner involved in the nurses industry and a client operating 50 locations in the health sector.
