Why Clipboard Health Exists:


We exist to lift as many people up the socioeconomic ladder as possible. The average nursing assistant without a college degree makes $36k a year;the average nursing assistant on Clipboard Health makes $53k a year and the top 5% make $74k a year. We dramatically improve lives, by letting healthcare professionals turn extra time &ambition into career growth. We have healthcare professionals texting us photos of a car they were finally able to buy, a school &church they’re building in their native Haiti with money they earn here, and more. 


We achieve this by working with healthcare facilities such as hospitals, assisted living facilities, and rehab centres to provide on-demand nursing staff. Our mission is to enable healthcare professionals to work when they want, and where they want, and to enable healthcare facilities to get staff when they need it. 


What’s weird about working with us?

  • We care, a lot. Our CEO spends substantial time regularly doing customer service, and many of our healthcare professionals and healthcare facility clients have her personal cell phone number. 
  • We are globally distributed. Just on the engineering team we have folks from: the United States, Chile, Mongolia, Turkey, India, Ukraine, Indonesia, Brazil, Colombia… and that’s just from folks who’ve joined us so far this year. 
  • We take our values seriously: our COO literally has a handmade Curiosity Initiative and Ownership sign on his wall (you’ll see it if you videocall him). 
  • We have more engineers than we “need” on purpose. It makes us fast (many features go from idea to production in 2-4 weeks). It also allows small teams to see a problem, and just go fix it. A team went off and created a new SaaS product, another team rewrote a core service under a new architecture. 
  • One thing we value is that we have no “toes” here to be stepped on. See a problem? Go ahead and fix it, you don’t need permission.
