What Fastaff does

Fastaff is a U.S. travel nursing staffing company founded in 1989 and headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado. It operates as a subsidiary of Ingenovis Health, a strategic operating company that owns a family of eight healthcare staffing brands. The company pioneered the Rapid Response® model, which guarantees delivery of experienced nurses (minimum two years of acute-care experience) to hospitals in ten days or less—materially faster than the typical 30-day cycle of traditional travel nursing agencies. Fastaff specializes in hard-to-fill nursing specialties, with over seventy percent of completed orders in service lines such as NICU, PICU, CVOR, IR, L&D, ICU, ER, and Cath Lab.

The company serves two primary customer segments: healthcare professionals (RNs and allied clinicians seeking high-paying travel assignments) and healthcare facilities (hospitals ranging from academic Level I trauma centers to 36-bed critical-access facilities). Distribution is multi-channel: a direct hospital sales team organized into four U.S. regions, a self-serve website, an iOS/Android mobile application (shared across Ingenovis Health brands), and dedicated recruiter phone lines. Fastaff's core technology stack consists of a clinician-facing document repository for credentials and certifications, an AI-assisted candidate matching engine that pairs recruiter judgment with algorithmic recommendations, and AI-generated outreach communications. No proprietary platform architecture, patented system, or public API is documented.

Fastaff generates revenue as a staffing intermediary, capturing the spread between amounts billed to healthcare facilities for nurse hours and amounts paid to placed clinicians. The company monetizes through standard placement margins plus premium service tiers such as Fastaff Approval and a financially backed Guaranteed Delivery SLA that commits the firm to pay a cost-per-nurse if it misses the facility's timeline. The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval and HIPAA compliance underpin hospital procurement eligibility.

Revenue model

1. Healthcare Staffing Placement Services: Fastaff generates revenue by placing experienced nurses and allied health professionals at healthcare facilities on temporary assignments. The company acts as a staffing intermediary, charging healthcare facilities for access to its pre-vetted pool of nurses. Revenue comes from the margin between what facilities pay for nurse hours and what nurses receive in compensation. Fastaff also offers specialized services such as guaranteed delivery and premium Fastaff Approval services.
