What Amergis does

Amergis Healthcare Staffing, Inc. (formerly Maxim Healthcare Services), founded in the 1980s in Towson, Maryland, and headquartered at 7223 Lee Deforest Drive, Columbia, Maryland, is a privately held healthcare and educational staffing firm operating across six specialty verticals: Nursing (RN, LPN, LVN, CNA), Allied Health, Locum Tenens (physicians and advanced practitioners), Revenue Cycle, Government Healthcare (federal, state, county, including veteran services, correctional healthcare, behavioral health), and Education (school nursing, teaching, behavior, therapy, support staff). The company serves hospitals, health systems, outpatient clinics, surgery centers, long-term care facilities, physician groups, mental health facilities, and school districts through a network of more than 70 U.S. offices and a candidate network exceeding 2 million healthcare professionals.

The underlying technology platform centers on MaxView, a client-facing workforce management dashboard provided at no extra cost that handles timecard approval, position posting, candidate tracking, invoice consolidation, reporting, and electronic timekeeping. MaxView connects to MaxView Jobs, a candidate-facing mobile application available on iOS and Android that enables healthcare professionals to browse open shifts, manage schedules, complete onboarding, and track hours and pay. The technology stack is workflow-centric rather than AI-native; the platform is reinforced by an in-house clinical team, including a Chief Nursing Officer, that provides quality oversight, training, and credentialing support.

Amergis makes money on a transaction-fee basis through placement of healthcare professionals in temporary, contract, travel, and per diem assignments, with travel nursing compensation commonly posted between $1,000 and $2,626 per week. Distribution blends enterprise field sales (dedicated account managers and recruiters at 70+ offices), self-serve digital flows via MaxView and MaxView Jobs, and an MSP channel through a strategic partnership with Sunburst Workforce Advisors. Government contracting is a particularly deep vertical, evidenced by named engagements across roughly a dozen state veterans homes and additional federal and state agencies. Quality credentials include Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval certification and recognition by Forbes (Best Travel Staffing Firms 2025, Best Temporary Staffing Firms 2025), Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA 2023 Largest Travel Nursing Staffing Firms), and the Baltimore Sun (Top Workplaces 2024 and 2025). The leadership team is anchored by long-tenured CEO Bill Butz, in role since 2016.
