Frequently Asked Questions

What multiple does a healthcare staffing company sell for?
+
Healthcare staffing companies typically trade at 4–8× EBITDA. Margin quality, client and contract diversification, fill rates, credentialed candidate pipelines, and recruiter productivity drive where you land in that range.
What metrics do staffing buyers focus on?
+
Buyers underwrite gross margin per placement (spread), fill rates, bill and pay rates, client concentration, contract terms, and recruiter productivity. Diversified, recurring revenue with low client concentration earns the strongest multiples.
Is per-diem, travel, or allied staffing more valuable?
+
It depends on margin durability and client stickiness rather than the category alone. Diversified models with recurring fill and strong margins are valued highest; heavy reliance on a single client or crisis-rate revenue is discounted.
Who acquires healthcare staffing companies?
+
Buyers include large national staffing platforms, PE-backed roll-ups, and health systems internalizing workforce supply. We position your firm to the buyers most likely to pay a premium for your niche.
