Workforce Platform for Rural Health Providers
Staff a critical access hospital or rural clinic without an agency. Reach qualified clinicians beyond your own county, hire and rehire them at no fee, and pay the rate you set — with no housing, per diem, or mileage added to your invoice.
The Rural Gap Is a Discovery Problem, Not Only a Supply Problem
A rural clinic competing on a job board is competing for the attention of clinicians who are mostly not looking at your county. The people who could fill your shifts often never see them. Agencies solve that with travelers — at a bill rate that adds housing, per diem, and mileage on top of the pay, and a contract that can bar you from hiring the clinician permanently.
SHIFTit puts your shift in front of qualified clinicians who match your requirements, including clinicians outside your immediate area — and lets you hire and rehire them directly, at no additional cost.
Built for Reach, Continuity, and Control
The infrastructure to reach clinicians you could not reach before, and keep the ones who work out.
Reach Clinicians Beyond Your County
Your shift goes in front of qualified clinicians who match your requirements, including clinicians outside your immediate area who would never have searched for you.
No Housing, Per Diem, or Mileage
SHIFTit does not add travel costs to your invoice. You pay the rate you set for the shift, plus a flat platform fee — nothing else stacked on top.
Rehire Anyone, Free, Any Time
Rehire clinicians who already know your facility, your workflows, and your patients — as often as you like, at no additional cost.
You Set the Rate
You set the rate for every shift, and the clinician receives the full posted rate. SHIFTit never takes a cut of clinician pay.
Hire Permanently at No Cost
Bring a clinician onto your own staff whenever you want. No conversion fee, no buyout, no transfer fee, and no waiting period.
Credential Verification Built In
Verify licenses, certifications, immunizations, background checks, and drug screenings in one place before a clinician works.
The Hiring Pool You Signed Away
In a small local market, every clinician matters. Staffing agreements commonly bar the facility from hiring a clinician directly — sometimes for years after the agreement ends, and sometimes even after the clinician has left the agency. In a rural market, locking out part of an already-small pool costs far more than it does in a metro.
With SHIFTit there is no conversion fee, no buyout, no transfer fee, and no no-hire clause. If a clinician wants to work for you and you want to hire them, that is between the two of you. Before you sign any staffing agreement, it is worth reading what it says about hiring — check the non-solicitation, direct-hire, and conversion terms.

SHIFTit vs Traditional Staffing for Rural Providers
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you staff a critical access hospital without an agency?
You post the shift with your own requirements and your own rate, and verified W-2 clinicians claim it. There is no agency in the middle, no bill rate to negotiate, and no markup added on top of what the clinician is paid.
How do rural clinics find nurses outside their own county?
The deepest part of the rural workforce gap is discovery, not supply. A rural clinic competing on a job board is competing for the attention of people who are mostly not looking at your county. SHIFTit puts your shift in front of qualified clinicians who match your requirements, including clinicians outside your immediate area who would never have searched for you.
What does it cost to hire a clinician permanently?
Through SHIFTit, nothing. There is no conversion fee, no buyout, and no transfer fee, and no waiting period before you can hire. Staffing agreements commonly include a conversion fee or a no-hire clause for permanent hires — it is worth reading what yours says.
Do rural health clinics have to pay housing and per diem?
SHIFTit does not add housing, per diem, or mileage to your invoice. You pay the rate you set, plus a flat platform fee on top of it.
Do we control what we pay clinicians?
Yes. You set the rate for every shift. The clinician receives the full posted rate — SHIFTit never takes a cut of clinician pay — and the platform fee sits on top of it.
Can we rehire clinicians who have worked with us before?
Yes, as often as you like and at no additional cost. Rehiring clinicians who already know your facility, your workflows, and your patient population is the point of the platform.
Can a rural site host nursing students at no cost?
Yes. SHIFTit runs a clinical rotations network alongside the shift marketplace, and clinical sites are not charged to host students. Hosting students during training is also how a rural site grows its own future workforce — clinicians who train in a community are more likely to build a career there.
