Executive Summary
HealthCare Plus, a regional healthcare network with 3,200 employees operating 8 hospitals and 45 clinics, faced a critical nursing shortage exacerbated by a slow, manual credential verification process taking 3+ weeks. Strict compliance requirements for licenses, certifications, and background checks created bottlenecks, while 80% dependency on expensive staffing agencies strained budgets and compromised care continuity.
By implementing Talenty.ai's healthcare-specific platform with automated compliance checking and credential verification, HealthCare Plus hired 120 qualified nurses in 3 months, reduced verification time by 80%, maintained 100% compliance, and cut agency costs by 68% - all while improving patient care quality and staff satisfaction.
The Challenge
Initial Situation
HealthCare Plus needed to hire 120 registered nurses urgently to address critical staffing shortages affecting patient care quality and staff burnout. However, their manual credential verification process took 3+ weeks per candidate, strict regulatory compliance requirements created bottlenecks, and heavy reliance on expensive staffing agencies was unsustainable both financially and operationally.
Key Pain Points
Slow Credential Verification
Manual verification of nursing licenses, certifications, education, and references took 3+ weeks per candidate, with coordinators managing everything via phone calls, emails, and faxes.
Complex Compliance Requirements
Must verify 15+ credentials per nurse including RN license, BLS/ACLS certs, specialty certifications, immunization records, background checks, and state-specific requirements.
Critical Staffing Shortages
Operating with 18% nurse vacancy rate leading to mandatory overtime, burnout (35% considering leaving), and compromised patient care with increased safety incidents.
Expensive Agency Dependency
80% of nursing needs filled by agencies at 2.5x the cost of direct hires, creating budget strain of $4.2M annually with poor care continuity.
Regulatory Risk & Audit Exposure
Manual tracking of credentials and expirations created risk of non-compliance, with failed audit findings for incomplete documentation.
Business Impact Before Talenty.ai:
- •Patient satisfaction scores declining due to understaffing (71% to 64%)
- •$4.2M annual spending on agency nurses vs. direct hires
- •Mandatory overtime increasing burnout and turnover to 35%

"The automated compliance verification was crucial. We can now verify credentials in days instead of weeks, while maintaining 100% compliance. This has been critical for our staffing needs. We hired 120 nurses in 3 months - something that would have taken us over a year with our old process. Our patients are getting better care, our nurses aren't burning out, and we've saved millions by reducing agency dependency. Talenty.ai understood healthcare's unique compliance challenges and built a solution that actually works."
