Clipboard Health runs a two-sided healthcare staffing marketplace where trained professionals pick up shifts flexibly and facilities fill urgent staffing needs instantly.
Clipboard Health is a healthcare staffing marketplace founded in 2016 and led by its founder, Wei Deng. The company operates a two-sided platform in which trained healthcare professionals pick up shifts on their own terms while healthcare facilities fill urgent staffing needs instantly. Its work sits at the intersection of marketplace platform engineering, healthcare staffing technology, two-sided marketplace matching, and shift scheduling and fulfilment.
The company's current product emerged through several pivots. Clipboard began with an income-share agreement designed as an alternative to student loans for software engineers, lawyers and doctors; this was later repurposed toward nursing students. The team then built a job board for healthcare workers, which drew staffing agencies as customers and revealed the demand that the staffing marketplace now serves. The industries in which the company operates include healthcare, healthcare staffing, nursing, temporary and shift staffing, and healthcare facilities.
Clipboard Health was founded with the aim of helping people climb the socioeconomic ladder, and it serves unemployed and underemployed people by connecting them to work. The company describes an emphasis on flexibility for healthcare professionals and a development approach driven by customer discovery and iteration, having pivoted more than once on the basis of user feedback.
