Frequently Asked Questions
What is SHIFTit®?
SHIFTit is a workforce technology platform that gives healthcare providers greater control over their workforce — enabling them to hire and rehire proven SHIFTerz, reduce agency reliance, and expand workforce access with built-in compliance and education, and zero transfer fees.
Is SHIFTit a staffing agency?
No. SHIFTit is not a staffing agency. We do not operate as a traditional staffing intermediary or negotiate rates. In certain states, SHIFTit may act as an Employer of Record (EOR) strictly for compliance purposes, such as handling payroll, tax withholding, and employment regulations. This allows providers to remain compliant while still maintaining direct control over their workforce.
How does pricing work?
Healthcare providers set their own rates for each shift. SHIFTit does not negotiate rates. We apply a simple, transparent 9% platform fee on top of the rate you choose, giving you full control and predictable labor costs.
Can we hire and rehire the same SHIFTer?
Yes. SHIFTit allows you to both hire new SHIFTerz and rehire clinicians who have previously worked in your facility, helping you build a consistent and reliable workforce over time.
What are SHIFTerz?
SHIFTerz are healthcare professionals who use the SHIFTit platform to find and accept shifts. They are verified based on credentials, experience, and facility requirements.
Are there any transfer or buyout fees?
No. There are zero transfer or buyout fees. You can hire SHIFTerz directly without any additional costs or restrictions.
How does compliance work?
SHIFTit includes built-in compliance tools that allow facilities to verify credentials, upload required training or in-services, and ensure SHIFTerz meet facility-specific requirements before working a shift. In applicable states, SHIFTit may also provide Employer of Record (EOR) services to handle payroll and regulatory compliance.
How is SHIFTit different from traditional staffing agencies?
Traditional staffing agencies act as intermediaries, control rates, and charge significant markups. SHIFTit is a technology platform that gives providers direct control — allowing them to set rates, hire and rehire SHIFTerz, and eliminate agency dependency, while supporting compliance where required.
Can SHIFTit be used in hospitals and post-acute settings?
Yes. SHIFTit is designed for hospitals, health systems, and post-acute providers looking to reduce agency reliance and gain more control over their workforce.
Does SHIFTit support underserved or hard-to-staff areas?
Yes. SHIFTit helps providers expand workforce access by connecting them with qualified SHIFTerz, including in underserved and hard-to-staff regions.
Does SHIFTit support training and education?
Yes. SHIFTit includes built-in education tools that allow facilities to provide training, in-services, and facility-specific requirements directly through the platform, ensuring SHIFTerz are prepared and compliant before every shift.
