Most staffing apps ask you to pick a lane before you post a single shift.

Some only send employees. Others only send independent contractors. Some cover per diem shifts and stop there. Your facility needs the flexibility of multiple options, but you end up juggling vendors, logins, workers, support staff, and invoices for each one just to keep your unit covered.

AllShifts was built the other way around. We spent 15 years as a staffing agency before we built the app, so we staff the way facilities actually work, offering every work model and shift type in one solution.

How Does AllShifts Compare to Other Nurse Staffing Apps?

AllShifts is the only staffing provider that helps facilities book our employees, independent contractors, or both. We deliver professionals for all staffing needs, from per diem shifts and multi-week contracts to travel assignments, temp-to-perm, and direct hire. And we're a full-service supplemental staffing partner for healthcare facilities and any organization that needs nursing professionals, therapists, physicians, and allied staffing roles.

Why Does the Worker Model Matter for Your Facility?

Because the people inside your building have unique needs.

Administrators and owners need as much protection as possible. Schedulers, staring at a 3 p.m. call-out, want a qualified nurse on the floor tonight. In most facilities, both employees and independent contractors can fill the need, but the staffing market forces you to choose between them. Employee-only apps give you one answer. Contractor-only apps give you the other.
AllShifts offers both so you can tap the full range of available workers.

Either way, you work with the same AllShifts team that already knows your building. The worker model you prefer depends on how you want to manage risk and flexibility. It isn't a price decision.

What Changes When Your Staffing Partner Started as an Agency Before It Was an App?

You get the people behind the app.

AllShifts began in 2003 as All American Healthcare, a family-owned staffing agency, and became AllShifts in 2023. The app, launched in 2018, grew out of 15 years of filling shifts by phone, at all hours, for facilities that couldn't wait. That history is why you still get an Account Manager who knows your facility, and real coordinators around the clock, 24/7/365.

It also shows up in the details that keep you compliant. AllShifts is Joint Commission certified, and we thoroughly screen every nurse using our 10-Point Credential Check.

Can One Staffing Partner Cover Per Diem, Contract, and Travel Needs?

Yes. Most facilities need more than one kind of coverage, and AllShifts handles all of them:

• Per diem and last-minute shifts: post an opening in the app, and qualified CNAs, LPNs, and RNs near you appear instantly. Think of us as your emergency response team for open shifts.
• Contract assignments: long-term coverage for leaves, census swings, and gaps, typically 13 to 26 weeks.
• Travel assignments: Tap top professionals across the country when you can't fill your needs locally. You don’t have to be bound by geography. 
• Therapy and allied roles: physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapists, plus imaging and other allied professionals.
• Temp-to-perm and direct hire: when someone you love working with should join your team for good.

When the next need comes up, your credential requirements are already on file, and your account team already knows your facility's needs.

What Should Every Staffing Partner Offer?

Some things should be standard from any partner you consider, AllShifts included. Hold every vendor to them:

• Your go-to people first. With AllShifts, your Preferred Staff get first access the moment you post a shift, and Instant Booking fills openings with returning staff you already know.
• Visible reliability. Every AllShifts staffer has a reliability score, and the most reliable staff get booked first. If a nurse cancels three times, we remove them from the candidate pool.
• The final say. Anyone you place on your Do Not Return list is never booked at your facility again.
• A real human when you need one. AllShifts provides an Account Manager who understands your needs, plus staffing coordinators to support you 24/7/365.

Plenty of staffing apps offer versions of these. Expect them. The difference is what comes with them: both worker models, every staffing type, and more than 20 years of staffing experience behind the app.

How Do You Get Started With AllShifts?

You shouldn't have to sign a staffing agreement to fill Tuesday's shift. Facilities can book up to $2,500 in staffing with no agreement to start, so you can see how we work for yourself. Once you're ready, a typical staffing agreement opens Net 30 terms and a credit line of $25,000.

There's no retainer, no risk, and you only pay when you use us. AllShifts gives you flexibility, every type of coverage, and the people behind the app, all in one place.
