Built by Anesthesiologists to Fix Anesthesia Staffing
Hospital Hands was built by US-based clinicians who understand the unique demands of anesthesia staffing. We lived the inefficiencies of the traditional model and designed a direct solution to fix them.
The Insider’s Solution
Hospital Hands was founded by Dr. Falan Mouton, a practicing anesthesiologist who saw the system breaking from the inside.
She watched colleagues get locked into restrictive non-competes that hurt their careers. She watched facilities pay 20–30% agency markups just to keep operating rooms open. She experienced the burnout that comes when clinicians lose control over their schedules.
We aren't guessing at the problems.
We lived them.
That experience led to a simple, powerful idea: a marketplace where the people doing the work and the people paying for it connect directly.
No recruiters. No hidden cuts.
Removing the Middleman to Save the System
The traditional staffing industry is worth billions because it thrives on opacity. It keeps facilities desperate and clinicians dependent.
For Clinicians
We exist to give you the freedom to work as an independent business, setting your own rates and schedule without an agency skimming your paycheck.
For Facilities
We exist to give you control. Hire who you want, when you want, without paying a premium for a recruiter's email introduction.
Our Core Commitments
Instead of abstract values, these are operational promises to our users.
Radical Transparency
You see the full rate. The facility sees the full cost. There are no hidden fees or "black box" negotiations.
Clinical Independence
We believe anesthesiologists and CRNAs should control their own careers, free from non-competes and restrictive contracts.
Operational Efficiency
Time is money in the OR. Our platform is designed to fill shifts faster than any agency could dream of.
Fairness
When you remove the middle layer, both sides win. Facilities save money, and clinicians earn more.
Building the Future of Medical Staffing
We are starting with anesthesia, but our vision is to repair the staffing model across the entire healthcare ecosystem. Here is what is on the horizon:
Expansion to New Specialties
We are building the infrastructure to bring this direct-model transparency to Emergency Medicine, Radiology, OB/GYN, and Primary Care.
Enterprise Solutions
We are developing white-label tools that allow large anesthesia groups and hospital systems to use our technology for their own internal workforce management and scheduling.
Market Intelligence
We plan to release data insights that give both facilities and clinicians visibility into real-time market rates and demand, ensuring fair negotiations for everyone.
You’re probably asking...
Get direct answers to the biggest questions about the direct-hire model and how Hospital Hands is safer, faster, and more affordable than traditional locums.
No. We are a direct-connection marketplace. We cut out the recruiters and the 20-30% agency markups. You and the facility negotiate directly. No middleman, no hidden cuts.
We build trust through transparency. Facilities can review full provider profiles (training, certifications, history), and providers can see clear job details and negotiate rates up front. This removes the risk of the "oversold" solutions common with agencies.
Posting is immediate, and providers can apply directly to the facility. Without recruiter bottlenecks, shifts are often filled on the same day or within hours, keeping your ORs running efficiently.
Facilities pay a simple transaction fee per booking, not the high 20-30% agency premiums. Providers keep what they earn from the agreed-upon rate, with no agency cut.
Yes. There are absolutely no non-competes or long-term contracts blocking your choices. Facilities can rehire the providers they know and trust, and providers have the independence to work where they choose.
