ShiftKey is a healthcare staffing technology company that operates a two-sided marketplace connecting healthcare facilities directly with licensed and certified professionals to fill available shifts. Founded in 2016, the company builds shift-matching and workforce scheduling software intended to replace intermediary staffing agencies and legacy scheduling practices. Engineering work spans marketplace mechanics, matching between facility demand and professional availability, and scheduling systems operating at scale.
The company's product, the ShiftKey Platform, lets facilities post and fill open shifts while allowing professionals to choose how much or how little they work. Hundreds of thousands of licensed professionals are engaged on the platform, which serves the healthcare and healthcare staffing verticals across the United States.
ShiftKey maintains four office locations: Irving, TX; Austin, TX; Cleveland, OH; and Warsaw, Poland. The company states a focus on mitigating healthcare staffing shortages in the United States and on giving independent healthcare professionals greater control over their working arrangements. It operates under a founder-led vision led by Tom Ellis.
