Maxim Healthcare Staffing

What Maxim Healthcare Staffing does

Amergis Healthcare Staffing, Inc., operating under the brand Amergis and historically known as Maxim Healthcare Staffing, is a US-based healthcare staffing company founded in 1988 and headquartered in Columbia, Maryland. The company recruits, hires, and places healthcare professionals across five specialty service divisions: nursing, allied health, locum tenens (temporary physicians and advanced practice providers), revenue cycle management, and government healthcare staffing. It also operates a wholly-owned educational staffing subsidiary, Amergis Education, which serves schools, school districts, and academic medical centers with nurses, therapists, and aides. The company describes itself as a national provider with local market roots, distributing its services through direct sales to healthcare facilities, proprietary technology channels, and an MSP partner.

The company's core technology is MaxView, a proprietary workforce management software platform designed to streamline recruiting and cost control for healthcare organizations. MaxView is complemented by a dedicated MaxView Client Portal and the MaxView Jobs mobile application, distributed on iOS and Android, which allows job seekers to browse openings by shift type, location, and other preferences. Distribution occurs through four channels: direct enterprise sales to healthcare facilities and government organizations, self-serve use of the MaxView platform, a managed service provider partnership with Sunburst Workforce Advisors that offers vendor-neutral workforce solutions, and mobile app distribution through Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Marketing is conducted through a content hub (blog, white papers, webinars, industry news), active social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn), and a Refer-a-Friend referral program.

Amergis generates revenue primarily through transaction-based placement fees for temporary, contract, and permanent placement of healthcare professionals across its specialty divisions. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company serves a diversified customer base including healthcare facilities, government healthcare organizations, physician practices, healthcare administrative functions, and educational institutions across the United States. Revenue figures, headcount, ownership structure, leadership composition, patents, and certifications are not disclosed in the available source material, constituting material data gaps for any financial assessment.
