What Conexus MedStaff does

Conexus MedStaff is a privately held, family-owned international healthcare recruitment and staffing agency founded in 2010, headquartered in Houston, Texas, with a UK regional headquarters in Skelmersdale, England, and an operations support office in Pasig City, Philippines. The group operates through four entities: Conexus MedStaff Holding Company Limited and Conexus MedStaff Limited in the UK, and MedStaff Holding Company LLC and Conexus MedStaff LLC in the US. The company employs 101-250 staff and focuses on recruiting, educating, and placing internationally educated registered nurses, medical laboratory scientists, physical and occupational therapists, and F-1/OPT graduates into U.S. hospital and laboratory contracts typically spanning 2-3 years.

The core offering is a managed-services, employer-of-record placement model in which Conexus employs the healthcare professional, manages immigration sponsorship (EB-3, H-1B, TN, E-3 visas), NCLEX preparation, state licensing, credentialing, English language education, relocation, and ongoing pastoral care, while contracting the professional to a U.S. hospital or laboratory client. The company cites 85%+ retention post-assignment as a key outcome, positioning the model as a lower-cost, higher-stability alternative to travel nursing (which it references at 1.5-2x cost premium). Beyond placement, Conexus operates Conexus Academy for clinical and English education, multiple scholarship programs (Conexus Community, EARN, GOAL), recognition initiatives (DAISY Award, Conexus Community Award), community grants up to $500, and a Disaster Response Fund.

Revenue is generated through employer client contracts for workforce provision, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Conexus sells via a sales-led enterprise model targeting hospital and lab decision-makers with a 9-18 month consultation-driven sales cycle, supplemented by self-service candidate application pathways, a referral program, content marketing through an active blog, industry events, and PR. The company holds Joint Commission Gold Seal certification for Health Care Staffing Services, is an AAIHR member adhering to ethical international recruitment codes, is a UN Global Compact signatory aligned with SDGs 3 and 4, and complies with the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and California Transparency in Supply Chains Act 2010. Leadership is led by CEO Andrew Moreton and EVP International Operations Vasco Lopes Da Silva.
