The SmartMatch Difference

SmartMatch

  • ✓
    Direct relationship with workers
    You communicate directly with healthcare professionals. No recruiter filtering the conversation.
  • ✓
    One national verified registry
    Every worker is verified once — licence, identity, background, credentials. Always current.
  • ✓
    Transparent pricing
    See exactly what the worker earns and what SmartMatch charges. No hidden markups.
  • ✓
    Digital from end to end
    E-signatures, GPS-verified timesheets, automated invoicing. No paperwork. No delays.
  • ✓
    Flat conversion fee
    Worker wants to go permanent? One flat fee. No 15–20% headhunting charge. No non-compete.
  • ✓
    Worker ratings and history
    Every worker has a verified track record — reliability scores, clinical performance, and peer reviews.
  • ✓
    Pre-recorded specialty interviews
    Workers submit video interviews by specialty. Visible to every health authority — no scheduling, no waiting.
  • ✓
    50/50 travel budget split
    When workers come in under budget on travel and housing, you get half the savings back.
  • ✓
    Agency workforce optimizer
    Tools to analyze your external agency spend, identify savings, and track every taxpayer dollar.

Traditional Agency

  • ✗
    Recruiter as middleman
    Every conversation filtered through an agency rep. You never talk directly to the worker.
  • ✗
    Re-credential every time
    New agency? New worker? No shared verification. You're trusting their word.
  • ✗
    Opaque pricing
    You pay 30–40% above the worker's rate — but you never see the breakdown.
  • ✗
    Paperwork and phone tag
    Faxed timesheets. Manual invoicing. Recruiter turnover. Constant administrative friction.
  • ✗
    Locked in by non-competes
    Want to hire permanently? That'll be 15–20% of salary — and the worker may be bound by a non-compete.
  • ✗
    No worker track record
    You hire based on a resume and a recruiter's word. No verified ratings, no reliability data.
  • ✗
    No pre-recorded interviews
    Workers aren't typically asked to record specialty interviews, and even when they do, those aren't shared across health authorities.
  • ✗
    No savings mechanism
    Travel budgets are fixed. There's no built-in way for you or the worker to share in any underspend.
  • ✗
    No workforce visibility
    No centralized view of agency spend across units. Hard to track what you're actually paying — and harder to save.
25–35%
Less spent by health authorities vs. agencies
SmartMatch replaces a 30–40% agency markup with a small flat rate coordination fee. Workers earn more. Facilities pay less. Every contract.

“The agency model was the gap I couldn't stop thinking about. Facilities paying 30–40% above what workers ever saw. SmartMatch closes that gap. Direct contracts. Transparent rates. Digital everything — timesheets, signatures, payroll. One verified profile. One platform. And when the middleman disappears, the relationship shifts: workers and facilities talk directly, trust builds organically, and both sides finally have a stake in making it work.”
