Workforce Strategy

Choosing a Healthcare Workforce Model

An overview of direct hire, contract, temp-to-perm, payrolling, MSP, and VOP support.

Choose the arrangement that matches the length of the need, the urgency, and who should employ the worker.

Use direct hire for an ongoing role

This puts the employee on your payroll from day one and suits defined permanent jobs.

Use flexible staffing for a time-bound gap

Contract, temporary, and temp-to-perm arrangements can help with immediate coverage, transitions, and changing volume.

Use payrolling when you found the worker

It can support payroll, insurance, and compliance administration for a worker your organization identifies.

Use MSP or VOP for a larger temporary workforce

These models can coordinate multiple temporary-workforce vendors in a more complex environment.

Have a role to fill?
