Flexibility has become one of the strongest predictors of clinician retention. Increasingly, clinicians prioritize schedule control, shift predictability, and work-life balance over incremental pay increases. Organizations offering flex schedules, internal float options, or hybrid models see higher engagement and lower turnover. Flexibility also reduces last-minute call-outs and reliance on premium labor. Successful systems treat flexible scheduling as a workforce design stra

In 2026, retention has moved from a “nice to have” to a core financial and operational strategy. Replacing a clinician now takes longer, costs more, and creates downstream disruption across teams, patient access, and leadership bandwidth. Recruitment fills vacancies; retention prevents them from happening in the first place. Health systems that prioritize retention see stronger continuity of care, lower overtime spend, and more predictable staffing models. The most successful

While nursing continues to dominate staffing headlines, allied health professionals are quietly becoming one of the most constrained workforce segments entering 2026. Imaging, respiratory therapy, rehab services, and lab professionals are critical to patient flow — yet often overlooked in staffing planning. Shortages in these roles create downstream delays: longer ED holds, postponed procedures, and slower discharges. The result is operational friction that looks like a nursi

The rapid expansion of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) is reshaping how health systems approach recruitment and surge capacity. As more states join, the constraints that once defined regional recruiting strategies are dissolving, and cross-border staffing models are becoming more viable — especially for rural and mid-market hospitals that have historically struggled to compete for talent.   The immediate benefit is flexibility. Hospitals can deploy contract, PRN, or interim

Leadership vacancies have outsized operational consequences. When a CNO, Director, or Manager leaves, decision velocity slows, frontline frustration increases, and recruitment for permanent replacements becomes reactive and rushed. The result: agencies get called, travelers surge, and retention drops — all because a leadership chair sat empty for too long.   Interim leadership changes the equation. Bringing in a seasoned Director of Nursing, Revenue Cycle leader, or CNO for 9

After two years of volatility, the 2026 hiring landscape is finally showing patterns that health systems can actually plan around. Demand for clinical talent remains elevated, but the profile of that demand is shifting: less “panic traveler onboarding” and more “strategic capacity-building.” CFOs are scrutinizing labor spend, CMOs want predictable quality, and HR leaders are desperate for sustainable pipelines. From a staffing perspective, speed and fit are becoming the decis

Healthcare organizations don’t fail at hiring because of a lack of candidates — they fail because of reactive staffing.

As hospital leaders finalize Q1 budgets and rosters, we recommend three tactical moves based on Hathaway’s clinical staffing success. 1) Secure flexible interim coverage to ensure uninterrupted patient care while searches continue. 2) Implement cross‑training to reduce single‑role exposure and lower overtime expenses. 3) Maintain prioritized candidate pools for critical shifts to shorten time‑to‑fill. Hathaway routinely fills critical roles in 2–5 business days, so these tact

Healthcare professionals give everything — their skill, their compassion, their nights, weekends, and holidays — yet many stay in roles that no longer support their growth, recognize their value, or pay them what they’re truly worth. If that sounds familiar, it may be time to ask yourself: Are you being compensated for the level of talent you bring to the table? Are you growing, or just getting through the day? You’ve invested years into your training and your patients. You d

Start Q1 with zero vacancies: our three-step planning prompt for hospital staffing. 1) Audit critical roles and current coverage gaps. 2) Prioritize hires you must fill within 90 days. 3) Pre-vet standby candidates ready to deploy. This short routine turns reactive searches into expedited fills, reduces vacancy time, and lowers operational risk. We back every placement with a No Placement, No Payment guarantee — measurable peace of mind for your team. Learn how we streamline

We see three common pitfalls — and how Hathaway fixes them. 1) Unclear role scope slows hiring. We standardize job briefs so candidates match needs from day one, reducing time-to-fill and orientation hours. 2) Slow vetting delays starts.

Our global talent network and multi-decade sourcing deliver qualified clinicians faster.

With 20+ years of clinical staffing experience, we combine rapid response with rigorous credentialing, so coverage is reliable and low risk.
