The U.S. nursing shortage has reached crisis levels. The Bureau of Labor Statistics suggests that “Employment of registered nurses is projected to grow 5 percent from 2024 to 2034”, despite the addition of new graduates. Some other research suggests that over 15%, it will expand further through the decade.
Healthcare turnover continues to drive up expenses and instability. Registered nurse turnover alone hovers around 16%–18%. Each bedside RN replacement can cost a facility more than $61,000 in turnover-related expenses.
Clinical roles remain difficult to fill quickly. Benchmark data shows that the average time to recruit experienced nurses can exceed 80 days, whereas we achieve this in an average of 15 days. The specialized roles take even longer. This strains payroll, forcing overtime, and delaying care initiatives.
Comprehensive hiring costs in healthcare extend far beyond salaries,including advertising, sourcing, assessments, background checks, and retention efforts. Without efficient processes, these costs compound daily and erode operational budgets.

Healthcare RPO is no longer just a support function—it has become a strategic growth lever for U.S. staffing firms navigating persistent talent shortages, rising client expectations, and margin pressures. By forming the right staffing firm RPO partnerships, agencies can scale faster, compete more effectively, and deliver greater value to healthcare clients.
