Contingent Labor Reduction
Our Provisional Solutions Program helps healthcare organizations reduce contingent labor costs by hiring long-term provisional staff with the goal of permanent placement.

What is Provisional Solutions?
The Provisional Solutions Program is a core vacancy recruitment strategy designed to lower contingent labor costs and improve retention by utilizing provisional team members in long-term roles for a six-month engagement, replacing traditional travelers. This extended timeframe promotes continuity of care at the bedside while giving both the team member and hospital leadership the opportunity to assess long-term fit before making a permanent commitment.
While provisional staff are embedded on-site, our sourcing team simultaneously recruits to fill any open or forecasted clinical vacancies, ensuring a comprehensive, retention-focused approach to staffing. After the engagement, provisional team members are eligible for permanent placement at no conversion fee. It’s a scalable, cost-effective way to reduce your dependency on contingent labor while improving retention and patient care continuity.
Is Provisional Solutions Right for You?
If you’re looking to reduce contract labor costs without compromising patient care, the Provisional Solutions Program may be the answer. It’s designed for healthcare organizations that:
- Rely heavily on travel nurses or agency staff
- Face long-term core vacancies in critical areas
- Want to hire with retention as a priority
- Need a cost-effective, long-term staffing strategy

This model gives you control, continuity, and a path to fill your core vacancies.
