Staff Every Shift. Stay Compliant.
The branded applicant tracking system for nurse and travel staffing agencies - track license expirations, collect credentials, and fill open shifts by SMS from one platform.
30-day free trial. No setup fees, no long-term contracts.
A lapsed credential can end a placement mid-assignment.
Healthcare staffing is not high-volume hiring with a scrubs filter. A nurse license expires on a fixed date. A client answers to an accreditation body. A hospital calls at 6 a.m. needing coverage by 7. Miss any one of those and the placement is gone - or worse, the nurse works non-compliant and the client audit catches it.
Credentials expire on a clock
Licenses, BLS/ACLS cards, TB tests, and immunization records all have renewal dates. Track them by hand across a spreadsheet and a lapse slips through - usually while a nurse is already on assignment.
Audits do not wait
When a client faces a Joint Commission review, your candidate files become their evidence. An incomplete packet turns a routine request into an emergency scramble across three tools.
Redeployment speed wins
Per-diem and travel nurses are back in the pool the moment an assignment ends. The agency that texts them first fills the next shift. The one still sorting resumes loses it.
Purpose-built for staffing at scale - tuned for clinical compliance.
Four capabilities, mapped to the four things that actually break healthcare placements. Set the trigger. We handle the rest.
License and credential expiry alerts, fired automatically
Set the trigger once. When an RN license, BLS/ACLS card, TB test, or a state-specific credential nears its expiration date, Mako flags the record and fires the follow-up on its own. Recruiters see the risk before a nurse goes non-compliant mid-assignment instead of after a client audit catches it.
Set the trigger. We handle the rest.
Credential collection that packages itself
Turn credentialing into a guided checklist: license, immunization records, competency checks, references, and signed disclosures. Nurses upload documents from their phone, tasks assign to your compliance team, and every file lives on the candidate profile - one place, one packet, ready for the client.
All your files in one place.
Fill open shifts before your competitor texts back
When a hospital calls with a gap, blast a two-way SMS to your qualified, credentialed per-diem pool and see replies land in one centralized inbox. Nurses answer from their phone, you confirm coverage in minutes. Texts honor quiet hours and automatic opt-out handling by default.
Message, move, and manage thousands of candidates instantly.
Match by specialty and license, not by keyword luck
Mako parses resumes and applications, then ranks candidates on the criteria you set - ICU vs. med-surg vs. OR experience, active license state, years at the bedside, and engagement. Recruiters open a shortlist that already fits the requisition instead of scrolling a raw pile.
Built on your criteria, not ours.
One travel nurse. Four steps. No cracks to fall through.
Follow a single per-diem or travel RN from the moment they apply to the moment they cover a shift - and the moment you redeploy them.
Application lands and gets ranked
A travel RN applies through your branded career page. Mako parses the resume, reads specialty and license state, and drops the nurse into a ranked shortlist for the ICU travel requisition - no manual sorting.
Credentials collected as a guided packet
An onboarding checklist auto-assigns: active license, compact eligibility, BLS/ACLS, immunization records, and skills checklist. The nurse uploads from a phone; your compliance coordinator sees each item check off in real time.
Verification and expiry dates tracked
Every credential is logged with its expiration date. Mako watches those dates so a card that lapses next month surfaces now, not on the day a client refuses the placement.
Deployed - and redeployed fast
When the assignment ends, the nurse is already in your credentialed pool. A single two-way SMS blast to that segment fills the next open shift, and the whole packet is ready to re-present to the next facility.
License tracking, multi-state, and audit readiness in one record.
This is where a generic ATS falls apart. Healthcare staffing lives and dies on credential accuracy, and Mako keeps the whole packet current, segmented, and ready to present.
License expiration tracking
A nurse license is only good until its renewal date. Mako stores each credential with its expiry and fires status- and time-triggered follow-ups as the date approaches, so a lapse is caught before it becomes a placement problem.
Multi-state and compact licensure
Travel nurses work across state lines. Track the home-state license, Nurse Licensure Compact eligibility, and any single-state licenses on the same profile, and segment your pool by license state so you only text nurses eligible to work the shift you are filling.
Joint Commission and client audit readiness
Healthcare clients answer to accreditation bodies, and your files become their files. Keeping each nurse packet complete - current license, immunizations, competency checks, and signed disclosures - in one auditable record means a document request does not turn into a scramble.
On-brand, lockable disclosures
Send credentialing requests and offers on your logo, your colors, your domain. Lockable template sections keep required legal and equal-opportunity (EEO) language intact so a rushed recruiter cannot strip a disclosure from an outbound message.
ATS Mako keeps the guardrails on for you: quiet-hours SMS sending, automatic text opt-out handling, and intact email unsubscribe handling. Consent and clinical verification remain your responsibility; the platform makes staying inside the lines the default.
Turnover is high. Time-to-fill is tight. First contact wins.
The math of nurse staffing rewards the fastest, most organized agency. Mako removes the manual steps between an open shift and a confirmed, compliant nurse.
Bedside nursing has carried some of the highest turnover in the labor market for years. Every vacated seat is a shift your agency is racing to cover.
The delay between a qualified nurse and a compliant, deployable nurse is measured in days of document collection - days a faster agency spends closing the placement.
Nurses who apply to several agencies go with whoever reaches them first. The agency that texts back in minutes wins the shift; the one still sorting resumes loses it.
Healthcare staffing FAQ
Does ATS Mako track nursing license expirations?
Yes. Each credential is stored on the candidate profile with its expiration date, and you can build status- and time-triggered automations that flag a record and fire a follow-up as the renewal date approaches - so a license, BLS/ACLS card, or state credential is refreshed before it lapses mid-assignment.
Can it handle multi-state and compact licensure for travel nurses?
You can record the home-state license, Nurse Licensure Compact eligibility, and any single-state licenses on the same profile, then segment your candidate pool by license state. That way an open-shift SMS blast only reaches nurses eligible to work in the state you are filling.
Does it support per-diem versus travel pay rates and pools?
Mako lets you segment your candidate audiences - for example, a per-diem pool versus a travel pool - and manage each with its own workflows, templates, and outreach. Pay-rate and payroll processing itself flows through your connected payroll and HRIS integrations; Mako keeps the candidate side fast, branded, and organized.
How fast can I fill an open shift with it?
When a facility reports a gap, you send a two-way SMS to your qualified, credentialed segment and see replies land in one centralized inbox. Nurses confirm from their phone. We do not promise a guaranteed fill time, but the workflow removes the manual steps that slow the first conversation - and the first agency to reach the nurse usually wins the shift.
Is the SMS outreach compliant?
Outbound texting requires lawful prior consent and a clear opt-out. Mako honors quiet hours (business-hours-only sending) and handles opt-outs automatically, and email keeps automatic unsubscribe handling intact. You stay in control of consent; the platform keeps the guardrails on.
Is it branded to my agency?
Fully. Your logo, your colors, your domain, and branded career pages, portals, and offer letters. Every credentialing request, shift text, and offer reinforces your brand, not ATS Mako.
