You set the wage. We disclose the rest.

It’s the only fee we set. Every invoice also includes the clinician wage and recruiter fee you chose for the role, plus the costs we carry for you - payroll liabilities (employer taxes and workers’ comp), and malpractice coverage for locum placements - each itemized and billed at cost. The platform fee itself is fixed and disclosed the same way on every placement: $10/hour for clinical staffing, $20/hour for locum tenens.

Locum placements carry a heavier coordination load than clinical staffing: a full state licensing and hospital privileging cycle, travel and housing logistics, and arranging malpractice coverage for each provider. The $20/hour platform fee covers that added work. The malpractice premium itself is never folded into the fee - it is arranged by us and billed at cost, so you see exactly what the coverage costs on the invoice.

Yes. For locum placements we arrange occurrence-based malpractice coverage for the provider and bill the premium to you at cost as its own line item. We don’t mark it up and we don’t bury it in the platform fee - you see the exact premium on the invoice, and a raise to the provider wage never inflates what we charge for coverage.

You do, per role. We never set either number, and we never take a percentage of them. If you fill the role yourself through your portal instead of using the open network, the recruiter fee line disappears entirely.

No. The Staffing Company is built specifically for travel nursing and contingent labor. Permanent hiring runs through your own careers page and applicant tracking system.

A traditional agency bakes its margin into a single bill rate as a percentage of the wage, so raising a clinician’s pay raises the agency’s cut too. We disclose every line separately - wage, recruiter fee, payroll liabilities at cost, malpractice at cost for locums, and our flat platform fee - so the platform fee stays fixed when pay rises; applicable payroll costs can still increase.

No. We’re vendor-neutral by design: The Staffing Company manages the network of independent recruiters and agencies, and gives you portal access to self-source candidates, but we never compete to fill your job orders.

No. You post openings as you have them and pay the platform fee only on placements that are actually filled.
