Bridge VMS Helps Connect Businesses and Introduce Partners

In the competitive race to secure hospital contracts, recruitment companies often find themselves vying for an edge, with even the smallest advantage making a critical difference. For one Californian company, this limitation was costing them lucrative contracts. Specializing in hiring travel nurses for healthcare systems, they frequently missed out on opportunities because they did not fill nonclinical roles, leaving a substantial gap in meeting the broader staffing needs of hospitals.

The Client's Challenge

The healthcare company's inability to meet hospital demands meant they were consistently losing out to more comprehensive competitors who could supply both clinical and nonclinical staff. This limitation created a significant hurdle in their growth strategy, as hospitals preferred working with staffing agencies that could handle all their staffing needs. In the course of their engagement with Bridge VMS to help centralize their recruitment and staff management, they expressed their exasperation with losing out on opportunities—and Bridge VMS had a terrific resource!  

Bridge VMS’s Solution

Bridge VMS saw an opportunity to help the company not only overcome its limitations but also tap into new business opportunities. Bridge VMS introduced them to another client, an agency specializing in nonclinical medical staffing, enabling them to collaborate on joint Requests for Proposals (RFPs). Both companies could present a united front to hospitals and healthcare systems, offering a comprehensive staffing solution.

The partnership allowed both the clinical and nonclinical staffing agencies to leverage Bridge VMS’s platform, ensuring seamless operations.
