CHG Healthcare

What CHG Healthcare does

CHG Healthcare (legal entity CHG Management, Inc.) is a privately held, US-based healthcare workforce solutions company founded in 1979 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The company is the originator of the locum tenens staffing model — a temporary physician placement framework now used by approximately 90% of US hospitals — and has grown into the nation's largest physician and advanced practice staffing platform, placing 10,500+ physicians per year across 130+ specialties through 1,500+ specialized recruiters and 250+ quality assurance professionals. Its 200,000+ multi-state licensed physician network and relationships with 85%+ of US health systems make it a dominant two-sided marketplace for clinical labor.

The company operates three core solution layers sold primarily through direct enterprise sales to health systems, hospitals, government agencies, and academic medical centers: (1) Staffing services spanning permanent placement, locum tenens, advanced practice, allied health, telehealth, and government staffing; (2) a technology stack including CHG Connect (locum tenens workflow automation), Modio Health / Modio OneView (credentialing platform rated 91.0/100 by KLAS for five consecutive years), Locumsmart and NurseSmart (vendor management systems), Integrated Float Pool, and Workforce Intelligence — with MatchAI as the proprietary matching layer; and (3) Advisory services for workforce analytics, strategy, and cost management. CHG's 2025 acquisition of CareerMD added an upstream clinician funnel (120+ career fairs, 700,000+ clinicians).

Revenue is generated primarily through contingent placement fees on permanent placements (zero billing until provider starts), transaction-based fees on locum tenens assignments, recurring subscriptions for the technology platforms, and professional services fees for advisory engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is led by CEO Leslie Snavely and President & CEO Scott Beck, with an executive bench including a CFO, CIO, Chief Sales Officer, Chief Growth Officer, and Chief People Officer.
