Fill your gaps in days, not weeks

How healthcare facilities like you are ditching slow, costly hiring and keeping doors open at full capacity


healthcare facility staff

A Day in the Life

You open the healthcare facility with a full morning slate of patients, but within an hour you're pulled into the hiring scramble: an agency call saying their temp can't cover tonight's shift, a job-board posting that generated dozens of irrelevant resumes, and half an inbox of messages from clinicians who either aren't available or expect different pay terms. As both practitioner and manager you must keep appointments full, handle rent and equipment issues, and cover unexpected gaps when contractors leave or go on parental leave. Hiring turns into a recurring operational emergency that steals clinical hours, reduces patient access, and adds hidden costs—time you should be spending growing the business and caring for patients.

The Hiring Hole

“We posted on job boards, screened 200 resumes, and still ended up short-staffed. Our HR staff spends a huge portion of their time spinning their wheels without traction.”

— Healthcare Facility Owner

“My local recruiter promised a pelvic physio in two weeks—turned out to be a no-show.”

— Healthcare Facility Manager

“Agencies ate up 30% of my budget — calls/emails took away clinical time I needed to care for patients!”

— Practice Owner

Here's how each hiring method tackles (or fails) the staffing puzzle - and why The Traveling Therapist outpaces them all.

Hands shaking Job Board

Job Board Case Study

“We posted a PT role on three major job boards and spent a week screening applicants—only to find most people applying weren't even physios! That's lost time for me as the healthcare facility manager, and We never ended up getting coverage for our Maternity leave physio, leaving our existing physios trying to cover for her, and my patients in the healthcare facility less often than they needed"

☒ What Goes Wrong

  • High volume of unqualified resumes; screening steals healthcare facility admin time.
  • Passive candidates rarely respond to generic postings.
  • No built-in verification or credential gating; false positives are common.

☑ How The Traveling Therapist Can Help

  • Post once on the The Traveling Therapist platform and receive focused clinician bids during a 14-day listing window.
  • The Traveling Therapist reduces noise by attracting clinicians who actively bid on roles, not passive applicants.
  • Built-in match workflow cuts preliminary screening time and surfaces qualified clinicians faster.

🖓 Impact

  • Lost hours for staff, delayed fill times, and patient cancellations
Post a targeted listing in under 10 minutes and see bids within 14 days.

Direct Employer Recruitment Case Study

“You emailed 25 local clinicians and messaged a few alumni groups in your network; three people replied and none were available in your needed timeframe."

☒ What Goes Wrong

  • Reliant on personal network reach;
  • SLOW and reliant on your network to get back to you with potential options!
  • Follow-up burden can falls on healthcare facility staff and rely on you seeing the messages trying to get you a clinician.
  • Negotiation on splits or rates often stalls without a neutral marketplace.

☑ How The Traveling Therapist Can Help

  • Convert outreach effort into a single listing: set your schedule, budget ceiling, and whether you’ll offer a fee-split or full contract price.
  • Clinicians bid directly, bringing negotiation into a transparent marketplace rather than one-on-one outreach.
  • You only pay if a match is made, eliminating wasted outreach spend.

🖓 Impact

  • Extended vacancy windows and continuous internal distraction from patient care.
Create a listing and stop cold-emailing clinicians—let them come to you.

Headhunter/Recruiter Case Study

“You emailed 25 local clinicians and messaged a few alumni groups in your network; three people replied and none were available in your needed timeframe."

☒ What Goes Wrong

  • Employer-paid placement models can be opaque and costly.
  • Recruiters may prioritize employer relationships over long-term fit or retention.
  • Fees are typically a percentage of salary and reduce hiring transparency.
  • Back and forth with a headhunter middleman via phone/email to get a candidate

☑ How The Traveling Therapist Can Help

  • Transparent pricing model: listings let you control ceiling price and hiring terms; TTT’s flat match fee starts at $300 and is only invoiced on a successful match.
  • Marketplace-driven bidding surfaces clinicians who accept your terms without a human middleman to slow the process.
  • Faster turnaround (14-day matching cadence) reduces time-to-hire and the need for expensive contingency placements.

🖓 Impact

  • High placement costs with a slow human middleman that can often leave you questioning whether it was better to not get the coverage at all.
Compare recruiter costs to a flat-fee match and see the savings.

Staffing Agency Case Study

“You booked a temp clinician through an agency; they arrived on shift with no insurance and your healthcare facility absorbed the compliance headaches and ended up posting on a Job board anyways as a last resort."

☒ What Goes Wrong

  • Agencies bundle payroll, insurance, and credentialing/background checks, but often at high markups and opaque margins.
  • Administrative friction: constant back-and-forth with agency ops.
  • Fee structures and clinician take-home pay are difficult to audit, especially in fee-split scenarios.

☑ How The Traveling Therapist Can Help

  • Eliminate the agency middleman: TTT's listing model lets healthcare facilities set clear terms and see clinician bids, reducing hidden margins and administrative overhead.
  • Choose between full contract price or fee-split posting options so you control the commercial model and budget.
  • TTT handles matchmaking and lets you onboard clinicians faster, with less back-and-forth than traditional agency workflows.

🖓 Impact

  • Higher per-hour staffing costs, compliance risk, and the clinic owner has to cover for agency's bricks and mortar business structure
Post a fee-split or contract listing and control your margins from day one.
