The Spirecast

An axiom we live by is “prescription before diagnosis equals malpractice.” We take time upfront to work closely with all of our healthcare workers and find what suits them best as they progress in their careers — and this requires much more than a simple pre-screen. “Tip of the iceberg” questions only do so much, which is why we developed The Caregiver Diagnostic — a tool that allows us to partner with our healthcare professionals, create best case scenarios for potential assignments, and create a quality relationship going forward.

We’re thrilled to make SIA’s list for a third year in a row! Up to the #6 slot with over 112% CAGR and $35.3M in revenue for 2023.

Spire wrapped up one of the largest undertakings of our company’s recent history - Certification from The Joint Commission. This 18-month process was a collaborative effort from the entire Spire team and consultant Therese Gopaul-Robinson — our guest for this episode of The Spirecast.

About The Joint Commission

Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission seeks to continuously improve health care for the public, in collaboration with other stakeholders, by evaluating health care organizations and inspiring them to excel in providing safe and effective care of the highest quality and value.

Welcome back to the Spirecast. We’re back with more content specifically focused on the healthcare traveler. For this episode, Mike, Spire’s Managing Director, and Matt, our Recruiting Director, discuss the current status and future of the travel healthcare industry.

Working with a recruiter at Spire is different than you’d expect. Sure — you’d expect us to say something specifically focused on how unique we are, but rather than explain our values we wanted to share a conversation between one of our recruiters, Matt, and Amber Wilson — a travel nurse.

You’ll hear from the get-go that the rapport they’ve built over the years is strong. They have more than a transactional, working connection.

Here’s Amber and Matt.

In this episode, Mike Jacoutot talks through some of the pros and cons of internal nursing contracts and a few things to consider for new travelers exploring the idea of working with an outside agency -- or working directly with a hospital’s agency team.
