Why the “Amazon of Staffing” Never Happened | Bob Livonius
More than $1.7 billion was invested into building the “Amazon of healthcare staffing.” So what happened? In this episode, Bob Livonius takes a clear-eyed look at the venture capital-backed platforms that promised to transform healthcare staffing through technology, why that model fell short, and what traditional staffing firms can learn from it. Bob breaks down the importance of sales, direct client relationships, MSPs, recruitment, and knowing where technology actually creates value. He also shares his perspective on 1099 staffing, industry consolidation, AI, and what it will take for staffing firms to compete in the years ahead. Bob explores these ideas in greater depth in his article, “Venture Capital’s Foray into Building the Amazon of Healthcare Staffing,” featured in the July/August edition of Staffing Success.
