Engagement options
Three ways to staff these roles.
| Model | Best for | How you pay | Who employs the worker |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temporary | Shift coverage, surges, backfills | Hourly bill rate, only for hours worked | Valden (W-2) |
| Temp-to-hire | Evaluating before a permanent offer | Hourly rate; conversion fee steps down to zero | Valden, then you |
| Direct hire | Permanent, business-critical seats | One-time placement fee, guarantee-backed | You, from day one |
Why it matters
Coverage isn't a staffing metric. It's a care metric.
In healthcare, an unfilled shift isn't an inconvenience — it's a resident who waits longer for help, a nurse pushed into unsafe ratios, and a survey finding waiting to happen. Facilities that run chronically short don't just burn out staff; they bleed the permanent staff they have, because nothing drives turnover faster than covering for empty seats. Valden's healthcare staffing exists to break that cycle before it starts.
Verification you can hand to a surveyor.
Every credential we claim to verify is documented and on file: CNA and med tech certifications, CPR cards, TB test results, state registry standing, and reference checks with previous facilities. When a surveyor or auditor asks for documentation on an agency worker, your Valden account manager produces it — that's the standard, not the exception.
Scheduling models that match how facilities actually run.
Per-diem coverage for call-outs, block scheduling for predictable gaps, and long-term placements for open positions you're still recruiting for — including the weekend and overnight shifts that are hardest to fill internally. Because every placement is a W-2 employee of Valden with our workers' compensation behind them, your facility gets coverage without the co-employment exposure that comes with 1099 gig-nursing apps.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions.
How fast can Valden fill a caregiver or CNA shift?
For high-demand roles like CNAs and caregivers, Valden typically presents verified candidates within 48 hours and can have a worker on the schedule the same week. Urgent shift coverage requests are prioritized — call (855) 848-5966 for same-day help.
Are Valden healthcare workers employees or contractors?
Every Valden healthcare placement is a W-2 employee of Valden Staffing. We handle payroll, payroll taxes, and workers' compensation insurance, which keeps your facility's co-employment and misclassification risk low.
What credentials does Valden verify for healthcare staff?
Before placement, Valden verifies certifications (CNA, med tech, CPR), TB test results, state registry standing, and at least two employment references. Documentation is kept on file and available to your facility on request.
Can we hire a Valden caregiver permanently?
Yes. Temp-to-hire conversion is built into our agreements, and the conversion fee steps down the longer the worker has been on assignment with you — eventually to zero.
