What Wanderly does

Wanderly, operating as Wanderly AV LLC, is a US-based two-sided healthcare job marketplace founded in 2018 that connects travel nurses and allied health professionals with 31+ healthcare staffing agencies. The platform enables candidates to create a single profile, search more than 50,864 pay packages across agencies, compare compensation components (taxable wages, housing stipends, meals and incidentals, travel reimbursement, bonuses) side-by-side, and apply to positions via a Quick Apply feature. Native iOS and Android applications extend the search experience to mobile, and an AI-powered assistant named Wanda guides users through navigation and comparison. The platform differentiates itself with blockchain-verified agency reviews under a patent-pending technology framework, and surfaces integrated housing resources through partners such as Furnished Finder and Hotel Engine.

The revenue model is B2B and freemium on the candidate side: healthcare professionals join and use the platform at no cost, while staffing agencies pay for job listings, candidate profile access, and direct recruiter contact through subscription and transaction-fee streams. A dedicated recruiter portal supports posting management, candidate messaging, and application handling. Marketing is content-driven, with a travel nursing blog, organic social on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, and SEO/app store presence targeting the nurse community.

The company is privately held and bootstrapped, with no disclosed funding rounds, headcount, or financial figures. Ownership rests with Wanderly AV LLC, and no parent company, subsidiaries, or M&A activity are reported. The platform currently serves candidates across 31 US states, with named agency partners including TNAA, Triage, Nomad Health, Genie Healthcare, and several others in allied and nursing specialties.
