Agency Markups
30-50%
Markup on hourly rate vs direct cost
Staffing agencies charge hospitals 30-50% markup. With ThriveOn, you shift that markup to technology and predictive value, not vendor profit.
Beyond Staffing Agencies
Why hospitals choose infrastructure over vendors
Infrastructure vs Vendor
Why the staffing agency model is broken.
Staffing agencies are built on manual processes. You call. They search. They hope someone is available. ThriveOn is built on prediction, automation, and intelligence. Your gaps are predicted before they happen. Clinicians are credentialed while they sleep. Roles are filled in 48 hours because that is what hospitals need.
| Capability | Staffing Agency | ThriveOn Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Fill Time | 14-21 days average | 48 hours standard |
| Credentialing | Manual (30-45 days) | Automated (2-4 hours) |
| Predictive Planning | Reactive only | Census forecasting, gap prediction |
| Compliance Risk | Manual files, audit risk | Continuous monitoring, zero incidents |
| Cost Model | High markup, bid wars | Transparent, outcome-based |
| Workforce Analytics | None | Snowflake, Power BI dashboards |
| Multi-Year Partnership | Vendor relationship | Strategic partner (95% retention) |
The Real Cost
What broken staffing actually costs.
It is not just 18 days to fill a role. It is the cost of broken processes, missed intelligence, and vendor lock-in.
Credential Delays
30-45
Days agency takes to credential
While agencies manually verify credentials, your units run short. ThriveOn automates it in 2-4 hours, parallel to the hire decision.
Manual Compliance Risk
1 in 4
Manual credentialing files have errors
Manual files create audit risk. ThriveOn's continuous monitoring surfaces issues before they become compliance violations.
No Data, No Decisions
0
Analytics from traditional staffing
Agencies do not share data. You cannot predict. You cannot plan. ThriveOn gives you full visibility and predictive planning built in.
