ShiftKey

ShiftKey is a marketplace platform that connects healthcare facilities with licensed and certified professionals to fill available shifts. Founded in 2016, the company operates in the healthcare staffing sector, with particular exposure to long-term care and nursing facilities. Its model displaces two established practices: manual scheduling within facilities and the use of staffing agencies.

The company's technical work centres on marketplace dynamics, scheduling technology and workforce matching. The platform runs two-sided, allowing facilities to post open shifts and licensed professionals to work as much or as little as they choose. It engages hundreds of thousands of licensed professionals.

ShiftKey is headquartered in Irving, Texas, with further offices in Austin, Texas, Cleveland, Ohio, and Warsaw, Poland. The company describes its mission as mitigating healthcare staffing shortages in the United States and giving independent professionals greater control over their working patterns.
