Built for demand that does not arrive on schedule
Public health work is rarely steady. An outbreak, a grant award, a vaccination campaign, or a wave of long-term leave can change headcount requirements in a week — and the compliance requirements do not relax because the timeline compressed. Temporary and contract staffing exists for exactly that gap, and it only works if the people arriving are already credentialed and cleared.
We built our outbreak response capability inside a county health department during COVID-19, scaling a team to 100+ epidemiologists, nurse instructors, contracts and grants specialists, and program managers. The processes that made that possible now support every short-notice request we take.
How we engage
Temporary: short-term or project-based coverage for a defined period
Contract: longer engagements tied to a grant, program, or contract vehicle
Temp-to-perm: evaluate someone on assignment before converting them to your payroll
Direct hire: full-time from day one, with HSP managing recruitment
On-call and per diem: coverage for unpredictable, or intermittent need
Alternative schedules: non-standard shifts and compressed weeks where the role allows
Roles we place on temporary and contract terms
Clinical: RNs, LVNs, CNAs, medical assistants, allied health and therapy.
Public health: epidemiologists, public health nurses, investigators, health educators, analysts.
Behavioral health: psychiatrists, LCSWs, MFTs, counselors, case managers.
What makes fast staffing actually fast
A Pre-Screened Talent Pool, Ready Now
Our database has 1M+ resumes, so shortlists start with screened candidates, not job posts.
Live Scans Handled Fast
We coordinate live scan fingerprinting directly, so background clearance keeps pace with hiring.
Credentialing That Runs Alongside Sourcing
Licenses and credentials are verified while we source, not after, so offers aren’t stuck in review.
Equipment Issued and Returned for You
We get equipment to staff on day one and back from them when the assignment ends.
Insured to Drive Client and County Vehicles
Staff who need to drive are covered through HSP, so field assignments start without delay.
Sourcing Beyond the Job Boards
We recruit through universities, professional programs, and referral networks to reach hard-to-find talent.

Temporary healthcare staffing FAQs
It depends on licensure and clearance requirements, but our record on a county contract is an accepted candidate cleared and started within seven days. We give a realistic timeline up front rather than an optimistic one.
Temporary covers short-term or project-based coverage. Temp-to-perm lets you evaluate someone on assignment before converting them to your payroll. Direct hire is full-time from day one, with HSP managing recruitment. Many clients use more than one at once.
HSP does. Temporary and contract placements are HSP employees, which means we carry payroll, benefits administration, workers’ compensation, and employment compliance.
Yes. We run credential verification and live scans in parallel with sourcing rather than sequentially, which is what makes short timelines achievable without cutting compliance.
Yes, including intermittent and unpredictable coverage needs and alternative schedules where the role allows.
