Trusted Health

Trusted, Inc. is the leading labor marketplace and workforce management platform for the healthcare industry. The company was founded in 2017 with a focus on the largest profession in healthcare: nursing. Since then, they've taken a process that has been dominated by recruiters and phone calls and turned that into a a fully digital experience, connecting nurses directly to job opportunities and facilitating everything that needs to happen in between—including handling benefits, payroll, onboarding, and compliance. Their platform also provides full employer-of-record services for employers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. In 2020, they launched their proprietary staffing platform, Works (www.works.ai). Works helps hospitals meet one of their single biggest challenges: ensuring that every shift gets filled in an environment where both demand for healthcare services and the cost of labor are increasing exponentially. With Works, facilities can create their own on-demand nursing workforce and access one source of truth for all of their clinical workforce needs, from sourcing and onboarding to ongoing compliance. With predictive insights and recommendations, Works helps hospitals easily react to fluctuations in demand, while its staffing marketplace creates competition to fill open job requisitions with high-quality, active talent from a pre-onboarded network of talent suppliers. The company has support from top institutional investors such as Craft Ventures, Felicis Ventures, StepStone Group and Founder Collective, as well as healthcare innovators like Texas Medical Center, Mercy Health, Intermountain Ventures, Town Hall Ventures, and Healthbox. In 2020, they were featured on Forbes Next Billion Dollar Startups List.
