The Problem
Tired of the Relief Staffing Struggle?
Agency Markup Madness
Traditional staffing agencies take 10-30% on top of what you pay. That's thousands of dollars per month going to middlemen instead of your staff.
Last-Minute Scrambles
Someone calls in sick at 6am and you're frantically making calls. By the time you find coverage, you've wasted hours and stressed out your team.
No-Shows & Cancellations
You confirm a relief staff member, then they cancel last minute. No backup, no recourse, no refund. You're left scrambling again.
Quality Uncertainty
You don't know who's showing up until they arrive. Will they know your systems? Can they handle the workload? It's a gamble every time.
Communication Barriers
Everything goes through the agency. You can't talk directly to the professional, can't negotiate, can't build a relationship.
Poor Customer Service
When problems arise, you're stuck on hold or talking to a bot. No real human to help when you need it most.
