Trusted Nurse Staffing

What Trusted Nurse Staffing does

Trusted Nurse Staffing (legal entity: Trusted Talent; also operates as TNS) is a U.S. healthcare staffing agency founded in 2008 and headquartered in Buffalo, NY, with a secondary office presence in Braintree, MA. The company places travel nurses and allied healthcare professionals at hospitals and health systems across all 50 states, operating a two-sided business in which it serves as the employer of record for nurses on assignment, billing facilities for nursing services and remitting compensation (wages, benefits, stipends) to the placed professionals. The platform reports 1,200+ staff on assignment each week and 5,000+ active travel assignments at any given time, with typical contract lengths of 13 weeks (and shorter 6-10 week options).

The company's core technology is Pronto, a proprietary job board platform that allows travel nurses to self-serve search for assignments using filters, upload credentials, and view transparent pay, stipend, and facility information. Pronto operates as a parallel channel to the company's recruiter-assisted (talent advisor) model, in which dedicated recruiters and compliance associates handle resume tailoring, contract negotiation, credentialing, and ongoing assignment support. Together these channels support a sales-led GTM motion targeting both individual nurse candidates and enterprise healthcare facility buyers.

Commercially, Trusted Nurse Staffing generates revenue from the spread between facility bill rates and nurse compensation packages, with pricing negotiated bilaterally rather than published. The company has expanded its offering beyond transactional placement into adjacent lines: Strategic Workforce Solutions and Consulting & Fractional Leadership. Marketing relies on content/SEO, employee testimonials, a $1,500 referral bonus program, VIP events for travel nurses, and the Pronto self-serve platform. Recognition includes the Inc. 5000 (2020), Inc. Best Workplaces Medallion (2023), Staffing Industry Analysts Largest Staffing Firms in the U.S. (2024), and SIA Fastest-Growing Staffing Firms (2025).
