Healthcare Staffing Firms: New Integration Targets Referrals With 12x Higher Placement Rates

DENVER, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- OpusMatch and Staffing Referrals today announced a strategic integration that transforms how healthcare staffing firms source and place talent. This partnership combines OpusMatch's advanced matching and mobile capabilities with Staffing Referrals' proven referral automation platform. Customers see placement rates 12x higher than traditional candidate sources when combining automated referrals with mobile capabilities.

"Throwing more money at the same talent sources isn't working like it used to," said President of Staffing Referrals, David Folwell. "Our data shows referred candidates convert faster, stay 21% longer, and are more likely to redeploy. This partnership aligns with our commitment to being the preferred referral management partner for mobile staffing and gives firms a powerful alternative to the job board dependency cycle."

The integration enables healthcare staffing firms to:

• Turn their existing talent network into their top source of candidate leads
• Automatically match referred candidates to ideal opportunities using OpusMatch's AI
• Track and incentivize referrals at scale through Staffing Referrals' gamification
• Reduce job board spending while increasing placement rates
• Build a sustainable advantage through automated referral programs

"Healthcare staffing firms are caught in an expensive race to the bottom with job boards," said Corey Grissom, Head of Growth at OpusMatch. "This integration helps agencies tap into their most valuable candidate source - referrals - while ensuring those candidates are perfectly matched to opportunities."

The strategic partnership will roll out initially to select market leaders in the healthcare staffing space, with CrossMed Healthcare leading the way in transforming its recruitment process.
