About Us
Built by medical professionals for medical professionals.
Why We Created Huro
Huro was created because Shaun and I both saw a problem that we believed needed to be solved.
For me, that problem came from more than 10 years of working as a Registered Nurse in many different types of healthcare facilities.
I have seen firsthand what happens when a facility is short staffed.
I have watched nurses, CNAs, and other healthcare professionals work harder because there simply were not enough people on the schedule. I have seen administrators scrambling to fill open shifts, sometimes with very little notice. I have also seen facilities pay extremely high staffing agency rates because they felt like they had no other option.
At the same time, I saw the challenges healthcare professionals were dealing with.
Many wanted more control over their schedules, better access to opportunities, and a simpler way to manage their credentials and professional information. Too often, they had to repeat the same onboarding process, submit the same documents to multiple companies, and work through staffing systems that did not always feel like they were built with the healthcare professional in mind.
After seeing these problems over and over again, I kept thinking the same thing:
There has to be a better way.
Two Different Backgrounds. One Shared Vision.
That is where Shaun's experience became such an important part of Huro.
Shaun brings more than 20 years of business experience. His background gave him a different perspective on the same problem.
While I was looking at healthcare staffing from the clinical side, Shaun was looking at it from the business side.
He understood the financial pressure that inefficient staffing systems place on organizations. He understood what excessive costs can do to a business and how better technology, better processes, and greater transparency can completely change the way a company operates.
As we talked about the problems happening in healthcare staffing, we realized that facilities did not necessarily need another traditional staffing agency.
They needed a better system.
We believed facilities should have more control over who they work with, what they pay, and how they build their workforce.
We also believed healthcare professionals should have more control over their careers, schedules, opportunities, credentials, and professional reputations.
That idea became Huro.
We Wanted to Build Something Different
When we started developing Huro, we did not want to simply recreate the staffing agency model and put it into an app.
We wanted to rethink the process.
We started asking questions.
What if a facility could find qualified healthcare professionals directly?
What if facilities could review profiles, credentials, experience, and reviews before selecting someone?
What if healthcare professionals could build a professional profile that followed them throughout their career?
What if a facility could bring someone in for a shift, see how they worked with the team, and potentially hire them later?
What if professionals could gain experience with a facility before deciding whether they wanted to pursue a permanent position?
What if facilities could reduce unnecessary staffing costs while still having access to qualified professionals?
The more questions we asked, the clearer the vision became.
Huro Became More Than a Staffing Platform
We began building Huro as a healthcare workforce platform designed to create a more direct connection between healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals.
We wanted facilities to have a place where they could find people to cover open shifts, manage staffing needs, review professionals, and identify people who might eventually become permanent members of their team.
We wanted professionals to have a place where they could showcase their experience, maintain their credentials, find opportunities, build reviews, and take greater control over their careers.
To us, staffing should not simply be about placing a person into an open spot on a schedule.
It should be about creating opportunities and building relationships.
Sometimes a facility simply needs someone for one shift.
Other times, that one shift could introduce them to someone they eventually want to hire full time.
That is one of the reasons the idea of Review. Staff. Hire. became such an important part of Huro.
We Understand Both Sides
One of the things that makes Huro personal to us is that we understand the challenges from different sides of the industry.
I understand what it is like to work inside healthcare facilities.
I understand the pressure that comes with short staffing.
I understand what healthcare professionals are looking for because I have been one of them.
Shaun understands what it takes to build and operate businesses.
He understands costs, systems, efficiency, growth, and the importance of giving organizations better tools to make better decisions.
Together, we wanted to combine those experiences to build something that could work better for everyone involved.
Our Goal Is Simple
We want to put more control back into the hands of healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals.
For facilities, that means having better access to qualified professionals, more transparency, greater control over staffing decisions, and a smarter way to manage workforce costs.
For healthcare professionals, that means having better access to opportunities, more control over when and where they work, and a platform where their experience, credentials, and reputation can actually help them move their career forward.
We believe both sides deserve a better experience.
Why This Matters to Us
For us, Huro is not just another technology company.
It is something we built because we have seen the problems firsthand.
We have seen facilities struggle.
We have seen professionals become burned out.
We have seen staffing costs continue to rise.
We have seen good healthcare professionals and good facilities struggle to find each other.
We believe there is a better way to connect them.
That is what we are building with Huro.
A platform designed around transparency.
A platform designed around flexibility.
A platform designed to create better connections.
A platform designed to help facilities build stronger workforces while helping healthcare professionals build stronger careers.
We know healthcare staffing will always have challenges.
Our goal is to make solving those challenges easier.
