United Staffing scales healthcare staffing and boosts nurse engagement

United Staffing Solutions (USS) is one of the largest privately-owned staffing firms in America, placing talent across light industrial, education, admin, and healthcare facilities. Samantha Bleimeyer is an Account Manager focused on recruiting and managing nurses across hospitals, long-term care facilities, and specialty practices.

Healthcare staffing comes with unique pressures: strict credentialing requirements, constantly evolving compliance needs, and urgent placement requests. On some days, USS receives calls from 50 schools in a single day asking for next-day nurse coverage.

They struggled to manage more than one scheduler, who worked manually in Excel and Google Docs, due to the risk of double-booking employees. This made scaling nearly impossible. The outdated systems slowed the team down and limited their ability to reach nurses quickly and efficiently at the moments they were needed most.

USS turned to Teambridge to modernize how they staff nurses. The platform became a single hub for recruiting, onboarding, credentialing, and shift management. What stood out immediately was the ability to automate tasks that once ate up hours of staff time. Instead of manually approving every nurse request or blasting messages across channels, Teambridge handled it all—sending in-app notifications, texts, and emails to ensure nurses never missed an update.

Nurses themselves gained more control too. They could upload credentials, update documents, and pick up shifts directly from the app, cutting the back-and-forth emails and helping USS stay compliant without constant chasing. And scheduling was suddenly scalable.

With Teambridge, USS unlocked a new level of efficiency and growth:

• 68% growth in weekly hours billed. Scheduling has been freed to scale, with multiple schedulers now managing shifts without conflict. “The scheduling process has been dramatically streamlined, which is a major win for our operations.”
• $36 million increase in yearly billing, “A significant improvement.”
• 2x faster onboarding and credentialing. Faster shift access and more direct communication. “Teambridge has transformed how we communicate with our nurses.”

The impact was felt in everyday operations too. Previously, an admin woke up at 5:00 AM to manually text nurses about their upcoming shifts. Today, Teambridge handles that automatically, ensuring consistency while giving staff their mornings back.

USS views Teambridge not just as a solution for today but as a partner for the future. With Teambridge AI, the company expects to unlock new levels of workforce intelligence, surfacing insights on burnout risk, overtime patterns, and re-engagement opportunities.

“Teambridge AI is going to give our team the ability to focus on the things that humans are still better at, while it focuses on surfacing valuable insights like which nurses are close to burnout, who’s been doing too much overtime, and who we need to re-engage.”
