Meeting the Demand for Nurses in New York

Challenge

As a nurse with firsthand experience in the healthcare industry, the owner of the staffing firm was well-positioned to address the shortage of qualified nurses in New York's healthcare facilities. With good relationships with healthcare administrators and a deep understanding of the working environment, he was able to identify and attract talented CNAs, LPNs and RNs looking for new opportunities.

However, as job orders started to come in, the owner began to encounter challenges in managing payroll and back-office operations. He lacked the necessary expertise and resources to efficiently manage administrative tasks such as credentialing, onboarding new staff, and running background checks and drug tests and needed to focus on recruiting to fill these roles. As a result, the business struggled to keep up with the demands of clients and the expectations of the CNAs, LPNs and RNs.

These challenges slowed the business to a snails-pace, making it difficult to attract and retain clients, and hindering the firm's ability to scale and grow. Without the ability to effectively manage the administrative aspects of the business, the owner was forced to devote significant time and resources to these tasks, taking away from his ability to focus on his passion for recruiting great people, and hence his ability to grow his firm.

Solution

Overwhelmed by the demands of managing payroll and back office operations, the owner of the staffing firm sought out a better solution that would allow him to focus on what he did best - identifying top talent and placing them in great working environments. He was referred by an established staffing firm to Ascen, an all-in-one employer of record, payroll, and back office platform for staffing agencies.

With the help of Ascen, the owner was able to quickly and efficiently manage administrative tasks such as onboarding, payroll, and compliance. Within hours of signing up for the platform, the first employees were registered, compliant, and payrolled through Ascen. As a result, the owner was able to scale his business more effectively, processing more than a dozen nurses every week with ease.

By partnering with Ascen, the owner was able to streamline his back-office operations, freeing up more time to focus on growing his business. He was also able to rest easy, knowing that everything was being managed in a professional and compliant manner, allowing him to better serve his clients and provide topnotch healthcare staffing services to healthcare facilities throughout New York.
