YOUR BEST INTEREST AT HEART

Our Approach

We call it the Pure Heart Way—a blend of passion, accountability, and partnership. By uniting data-driven recruiting with deep human empathy, we design staffing solutions that benefit everyone involved:

  • Clinicians thrive. They gain equitable pay, transparent communication, and assignments aligned with their goals.

  • Healthcare organizations flourish. They secure right-fit talent quickly, improve retention, and control costs.

  • Communities win. Patients receive consistent, high-quality care from professionals who feel valued and engaged.

Every engagement is built as a true win-win, ensuring sustainable success for clients, caregivers, and the people they serve.

Pure Heart Staffing is a healthcare staffing agency built on one principle: when you put people first, every placement succeeds. From travel nurses and advanced practice providers to allied-health professionals, we match high-caliber clinicians with hospitals and clinics that share our values of empathy, excellence, and equity.

• Proven performance: our proprietary assessment-and-placement framework delivers a 98 % clinician-retention rate and an average 16-day time-to-fill — half the industry norm.

• Scalable solutions: whether you need surge staffing for flu season, a full recruitment-process-outsourcing (RPO) program, or leadership search, we tailor the right mix of human insight and AI-powered sourcing.

• Diversity drives outcomes: 68 % of our 40 000-clinician network identify as BIPOC, helping facilities improve cultural competence and patient satisfaction.

We’re expanding this proven formula across new verticals to help more organizations unlock productivity, reduce overtime costs, and close care gaps nationwide.

Clinical & Allied Staffing

Keeping California’s patients—and your bottom line—healthy!

Hospitals lose an estimated $7,500 per vacant bedside-RN position each day.¹ Pure Heart Staffing eliminates that drain by pairing travel nurses, advanced practice providers, and allied-health professionals with facilities that share our values of empathy, excellence, and equity.

Your pain points, solved

Challenge Pure Heart Solution
Sourcing qualified clinicians is costly and slow Our AI-powered clinician-matching platform scans 40 000+ licensed professionals and delivers a compliant shortlist in ≤ 48 hours.
Vacancies hurt revenue and patient satisfaction On-call talent benches and rapid-deployment strike teams keep units fully staffed through census spikes and seasonal surges.
No-shows and poor cultural fit Multi-step vetting—license verification, skills testing, DEI-aligned culture interview—cuts no-shows by 85 %.
Staffing is expensive

Our total fee is consistently lower than the 30 % industry norm, and only 25 % of our fee is due up front as a modest engagement deposit.

The remaining 75 % is billed only after your clinician has been on the unit and thriving, backed by a 90-day guarantee.

Our 4-step placement framework

  1. Precision Sourcing – Proprietary AI filters by license, specialty, shift preference, and location.

  2. Human Screening – Senior clinicians conduct behavioral and clinical-skills interviews.

  3. Compliance & Credentialing – Joint-Commission-standard background, immunization, and skills validation.

  4. Post-Placement Support – 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins to ensure retention (currently 98 %).

Staffing is a people business. People shape your culture, and culture shapes your reputation. Pure Heart Staffing protects both—so you can protect patients.
