In plain terms
How Expa sources candidates for staffing agencies
Expa is an AI-powered healthcare recruiting and clinician sourcing platform. It identifies licensed clinicians who are in-market, verifies their contact details, runs outreach over email, SMS and LinkedIn until they reply, screens the ones who respond, and books interviews with the candidates you approve.
A staffing agency is not filling its own roles. It is racing other agencies to submit the best candidate to a shared client first, and speed to submittal is the product. When the same req goes to three agencies, the winner is usually not the one with the cleverest pitch, it is the one that reaches a licensed, interested clinician first and gets a clean submittal in front of the client before the slot closes. The work that decides it, finding the right clinicians in that market, confirming their contact details and getting a real reply, is exactly the work Expa takes off your recruiters.
You describe the req by credential and market, and Expa identifies the in-market clinicians who fit, verifies their contact details, runs outreach over email, SMS and LinkedIn, follows up, and screens the ones who respond. What comes back is a slate of interested, contactable candidates you can submit to your client. Expa does not place anyone or compete with you for the req. It sits at the top of your funnel so your recruiters spend their day on submittals and closes rather than sourcing, and so you are first to submit more often.
Why staffing reqs come down to speed
Three agencies are often working the same req
When a client sends the same opening to several agencies, the candidate is not really the bottleneck, the clock is. The agency that finds a licensed, interested clinician and submits first usually gets the shot, and the ones who are still sourcing when the slot closes get nothing for the work they put in.
The clinicians worth submitting are already working
The physicians, nurses and therapists your clients want are rarely scrolling job boards. They are employed, busy and only move for the right role, so reaching them means direct outreach with a specific contract, location and rate, not another posting they will never see.
A req you cannot fill today is one your competitor fills instead
Every day a submittal is late is a day a rival agency can place first, and a client who sees you miss on speed starts sending the next req somewhere else. Keeping a warm bench of screened, contactable clinicians across the credentials you staff is what lets you answer fast when the req lands.

Questions
How does Expa help a staffing agency win a req?
By getting you to a submittal faster. You describe the req, the credential and the market, and Expa finds the licensed clinicians there, verifies their contact details, reaches out over email, SMS and LinkedIn, follows up, and screens the ones who reply. You get a slate of interested, contactable candidates you can submit to your client, usually while the other agencies on the same req are still searching.
Does Expa place candidates, or do we?
You do. Expa is sourcing and screening, not a competing agency. It finds and qualifies the clinicians, and you submit them to your client, run your own interview and credentialing process, and own the placement and the relationship. Expa fills the top of your funnel so your recruiters spend their time on submittals and closes instead of searching.
Can Expa search by credential and license?
Yes. Searches run by credential, so you can ask for a CCRN-certified ICU nurse, an FNP, a board-certified physician in a specific specialty or a therapist with a particular setting history, filtered by active license and distance from the assignment. That keeps the slate limited to clinicians you can actually submit, not resumes you have to disqualify by hand.
We staff a lot of different roles. Can Expa handle that?
Yes. Agencies rarely staff a single credential, so Expa searches across the full range you place, from physicians and advanced practice providers to nurses and the therapy disciplines. Each search is scoped to the credential and market on that req, so a nursing search does not pull physicians and a search in one metro does not surface candidates two states away who would never take the assignment.
How fast can we get a submittal-ready slate?
Usually a slate of interested, contactable clinicians within 48 hours of starting a search, often within 24. From there the speed to submittal depends on your own vetting and credentialing, but the sourcing and first outreach, the part that normally eats a recruiter's day, is already done.
Do the candidates come with verified contact details?
Yes. Contact details are verified before outreach, which is why you can act on a slate quickly instead of chasing dead numbers and bounced emails. Reaching a real, reachable clinician first is most of what it takes to submit first.
Do I have to do the sourcing myself?
No. You describe the role and approve a shortlist. Expa does the searching, the outreach, the follow-up and the screening, then books interviews with the candidates you approve. It takes about ten minutes of your time.
How fast will I see candidates?
A slate of interested, contactable clinicians within 48 hours of starting, often within 24. Time to hire from there depends on your interview process.
How much does Expa cost?
You can start free. For ongoing hiring, Expa pilots start at $6,000 for three months and cover all your open roles, with no per-placement fees. For comparison, a contingency agency placing a single clinician typically charges 15% to 22% of first-year salary.
