Hi, I'm Davis Peterson.
I built The Staffing Company after years on the staffing side of healthcare, watching facilities get billed one opaque number for travel coverage and never learn what the clinician actually took home. So I built the marketplace that shows the split.
From the staffing side to the software side.
I grew up in Lincoln, went to Southwest High School, and stuck around for college at the University of Nebraska. After graduating I moved to San Diego, where I spent five years in sales for the largest travel nursing agency in the country - which meant living inside the exact percentage-markup problem The Staffing Company solves today, from the other side of the table.
San Diego is also where I met my wife, a nurse, and where we welcomed our first daughter. Once we had a family of our own, Nebraska pulled us back - the community, the pace, the people I grew up around. Coming home is what actually got this off the ground.
Between what I'd seen on the agency side and a genuine love for building software, I couldn't unsee the gap. So I built two things: ScrubPay, the back office a facility runs on, and The Staffing Company, the open travel and contingent labor market it reaches into when the roster runs short. Same philosophy on both - show the facility exactly what it's paying for, instead of burying it in a single number.
Same problem, attacked from both sides.
The Staffing Company
Your travel & contingent market
A vendor-neutral VMS for travel nursing and contingent labor - an open network of recruiters and agencies, a flat platform fee, and every line on the invoice disclosed.
Same philosophy runs through both: a facility should be able to see exactly what it's paying for, whether that's a W-2 employee's paycheck or a travel nurse's bill rate.
The reason Nebraska won.
My wife, our girls, and the family we came home for - the actual reason any of this exists.
