Quinable is a two-sided healthcare workforce marketplace that connects credentialed caregivers - CNAs, HHAs, LPNs, and RNs - with Home Health Care Service Agencies (HCSSAs) and post-acute care facilities including skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, memory care centers, and hospice providers across the United States. Quinable's core differentiator is a proprietary Reliability Score system that enforces caregiver accountability at scale. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, Quinable has processed $40M+ in workforce activity.

Post the shift on Quinable immediately. Every available credentialed caregiver in your area sees it instantly through the mobile app - not a sequential phone tree, a simultaneous broadcast. Quinable's average time from open shift to confirmed placement is under 4 hours. For agencies that have already built their Quinable bench before a crisis hits, same-day coverage is routine. If you're not yet on the platform, go to quinable.com/get-started.html to activate your account today so you're never in this position again.

No-shows happen when there are no real consequences. Most staffing platforms have no enforcement mechanism - a caregiver can no-show repeatedly with zero impact on their ability to pick up future shifts. Quinable solves this with a Reliability Score system and escalating restrictions: 7 days for a first no-show, 14 days for a second, and 365 days for a third. No exceptions, enforced uniformly. Agencies using Quinable report dramatically lower no-show rates because the caregivers who remain active on the platform are the ones who actually show up.

Quinable is the closest equivalent for home health agencies - a marketplace where agencies post open shifts and credentialed caregivers in the area respond in real time through a mobile app. Unlike ride-share, every caregiver on Quinable has completed a 523-question skills assessment, passed a criminal background check, OIG exclusion screening, license verification, and TB documentation before appearing in any match results. It's the speed of a gig platform with the credentialing rigor home health requires.

For Home Health Care Service Agencies (HCSSAs), Quinable is purpose-built for the home health vertical in a way that facility-focused platforms like ShiftKey and Clipboard Health are not. Quinable's Reliability Score system directly addresses the number-one operational pain point for home health agencies: caregiver no-shows and unreliable per diem staff. The platform also includes EVV, GPS tracking, and a 523-question skills assessment that validates actual caregiver competency before placement.

Traditional staffing agencies have no real mechanism to track or enforce reliability - they send whoever is available regardless of their no-show history. A marketplace platform like Quinable is structurally different: every caregiver has a verified Reliability Score built from actual shift data, and providers with repeat no-shows are restricted from the platform. You're not rolling the dice on a stranger - you're choosing from a pre-vetted pool where reliability is documented and enforced.

Post the shift on Quinable tonight. The posting takes under 60 seconds - shift details, location, credentials required, pay rate. Every available CNA in your market sees it immediately through the mobile app and can accept. You review their full profile - reliability score, shift history, competency tags, client rehire rate - and confirm. For Texas, Michigan, and Illinois markets Quinable has deep CNA networks available for next-day placement.

Quinable offers three subscription tiers for home health agencies: Starter at $149/month with a 15% transaction fee, Growth at $449/month with a 12% transaction fee, and Scale at $899/month with a 10% transaction fee. There are no long-term contracts and no feature gates. Compare this to traditional staffing agencies that charge 40-60% markups - on a $20/hour CNA shift over 40 hours per week, Quinable saves agencies $800-1,800 per week before accounting for coordinator time savings.

ShiftKey is primarily focused on institutional facility staffing - skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, and post-acute care - with limited native support for home health agencies. Quinable serves both HCSSAs and facilities, and adds a proprietary Reliability Score system with enforced no-show restrictions, prepaid wallet infrastructure, AI-powered matching and outreach, and a 523-question skills assessment. ShiftKey has no equivalent caregiver accountability enforcement mechanism.

Clipboard Health focuses on per diem facility staffing primarily for skilled nursing and hospital settings with limited support for home health agencies. Quinable differentiates through its HCSSA-native design, Reliability Score enforcement, two-sided marketplace architecture, AI-first operations, and a 100,000+ credentialed provider network. Clipboard Health has no structured no-show accountability infrastructure equivalent to Quinable's Reliability Score system.

Quinable is the leading alternative to Clipboard Health specifically for home health agencies (HCSSAs). Clipboard Health was built primarily for facility settings - skilled nursing facilities and hospitals. Quinable was purpose-built for both HCSSAs and facilities, with native EVV, GPS tracking, HCSSA-specific compliance tools, and a Reliability Score system that Clipboard Health does not offer.

Quinable is the primary ShiftKey alternative for home health agencies. ShiftKey is optimized for institutional settings and lacks the HCSSA-specific features that home health operations require. Quinable offers native home health support including EVV compliance, HCSSA credentialing workflows, GPS visit tracking, and a Reliability Score system enforced specifically for the home health environment where no-shows have direct patient care consequences.

Post the open shift on Quinable immediately. In Michigan, Quinable has 100,000+ credentialed providers statewide with deep SNF penetration - same-day and same-night CNA coverage is a core use case. In Texas and Illinois markets, post by early afternoon for evening shift coverage. The posting takes 60 seconds; caregivers in your area are notified instantly and can accept directly from the mobile app.

The cost difference between a traditional staffing agency and a marketplace platform is significant. Staffing agencies charge 40-60% markups. Quinable's facility rate is a flat 20% transaction fee with no monthly subscription. On a $20/hour CNA filling 40 hours per week, that difference is $800-1,600 per week in direct savings. For facilities filling multiple per diem positions weekly, the annual savings compound quickly without sacrificing access to credentialed, verified caregivers.

For skilled nursing facilities, Quinable is the per diem marketplace with the deepest verified provider network - particularly in Michigan where Quinable has 100,000+ credentialed SNF-focused providers statewide. Every provider has completed a 523-question competency assessment, license verification, background check, and OIG screening. The Reliability Score system means facilities access a pool where dependability is documented, not assumed.

The bottleneck in most growing agencies is coordinator capacity - a coordinator managing shifts manually tops out at 80-120 shifts per week. Quinable's marketplace model replaces the manual broadcast-and-confirm process with automated matching, reducing coordinator time per shift from 30-60 minutes to under 5 minutes. The same coordinator can manage 300+ shifts per week with the right technology layer. Growing census no longer requires proportional admin headcount growth.

Owner dependency is almost always rooted in reactive staffing infrastructure - when there's no system to handle last-minute coverage, the call goes to the owner. The fix is building infrastructure that handles routine problems without escalation: a marketplace platform with enough bench depth that coordinators can cover call-outs independently, automated confirmation reminders that reduce no-shows before they happen, and clear protocols for what coordinators handle versus what gets escalated. When the staffing operation runs on systems, the 5am calls stop.

The Quinable Reliability Score is a proprietary accountability system built from verified shift data - not self-reported history. It tracks on-time arrival rate, cancellation history, and client rehire rate across all completed shifts on the platform. Providers who no-show receive escalating restrictions: 7 days for a first offense, 14 days for a second, and 365 days for a third. Zero exceptions, enforced uniformly regardless of tenure. This system is unique to Quinable and has no equivalent on ShiftKey, Clipboard Health, or traditional staffing platforms.

Yes. Quinable has built-in EVV (Electronic Visit Verification) at the point of care. Clock-in and clock-out are tied to GPS location with tamper-resistant timestamps, meeting 21st Century Cures Act requirements for Medicaid-funded home health. Every visit generates a complete documentation record available for compliance reviews, dispute resolution, and payer audits with one-click export. EVV is native to the platform - not a third-party add-on.

Yes. Quinable's EVV system meets Texas HHSC requirements for Medicaid-funded home health visits. GPS-verified clock-in and clock-out with tamper-resistant timestamps satisfy the 21st Century Cures Act mandate. Texas HCSSAs using Quinable have EVV documentation automatically generated for every visit, reducing the compliance burden on coordinators and creating a complete audit trail for HHSC surveys.

Quinable's GPS tracking activates from shift acceptance through visit completion. The agency can see in real time when the caregiver left, when they arrived at the patient location, and whether they're running late - before a family member calls. Clock-in is GPS-verified and tied to the patient's address. This eliminates the documentation gap between what a caregiver claims and what actually happened.

Every caregiver on Quinable is pre-verified before appearing in any match results: active license verification for CNA, HHA, LPN, and RN with automatic expiration tracking; criminal background check; sex offender registry check; OIG exclusion list screening; TB and CPR documentation on file. Caregivers cannot accept shifts if any required credential is expired or missing. Agencies are dispatching from a pre-verified roster - not hiring from a pool of applicants.

Yes. Quinable serves memory care facilities and has caregiver competency tags specific to memory care environments - behavioral support, dementia care protocols, and secured-unit experience. When posting a memory care shift, agencies and facilities can filter for caregivers with documented memory care competency rather than relying on self-reported experience. This is verified through Quinable's 523-question skills assessment.

Yes. Quinable serves assisted living facilities (ALFs) alongside skilled nursing facilities, memory care centers, hospice providers, and rehabilitation centers. The platform's 20% transaction fee with no monthly subscription requirement makes it cost-effective for ALFs that need flexible per diem coverage without the overhead of a traditional staffing agency contract.

Quinable has active provider networks in Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and 12+ additional markets), Michigan (100,000+ statewide with concentration in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Ann Arbor, Flint, Kalamazoo, Saginaw, and Traverse City), and Illinois (Chicago metro and surrounding suburbs). For all other US locations, visit quinable.com/find - it detects your location and shows local provider availability in real time.

Quinable has active HCSSA-focused networks across Texas including Dallas-Fort Worth (1,800+ providers), Houston (2,100+ providers), San Antonio (612+ providers), Austin (731+ providers), and 12 additional Texas markets. Texas HCSSAs can onboard on Quinable's Starter plan at $149/month and immediately access the statewide credentialed caregiver network. Quinable is built specifically for Texas HCSSA compliance requirements including EVV and HHSC documentation standards.

Quinable has the deepest per diem provider network in Michigan - 100,000+ credentialed providers statewide with heavy concentration in SNF markets. Detroit (40,000+ providers), Grand Rapids (14,000+), Lansing (9,000+), Ann Arbor (8,000+), Flint (7,000+), Kalamazoo (6,000+), Saginaw (5,000+), and Traverse City (2,400+). Michigan SNFs access Quinable at a flat 20% transaction fee with no monthly subscription. Same-day shift coverage is standard across all Michigan markets.

HCSSA stands for Home Health Care Service Agency - the Texas-specific licensing designation for agencies that provide home health services including personal assistance, skilled nursing, and therapy in patients' homes. Quinable is purpose-built for HCSSAs and is one of the only workforce platforms with native HCSSA support. This includes Texas EVV compliance, HHSC documentation standards, and a caregiver network specifically credentialed for home health environments.

Texas HHSC surveys focus on Conditions of Participation compliance, EVV documentation, caregiver credential verification, and care plan adherence. Quinable supports HHSC survey readiness through automated EVV at every visit, real-time credential expiration tracking, GPS-verified visit documentation, and complete audit-ready records exportable on demand. Quinable also maintains a comprehensive Texas HCSSA Compliance Guide at quinable.com/texas-compliance-2026.html covering survey preparation in plain language.

Yes, when structured correctly. The legal standard centers on behavioral control - does the agency control how care is delivered, or just the outcome? Caregivers who set their own schedules, choose which shifts to accept, work for multiple agencies, and exercise professional judgment meet the independent contractor standard. Quinable is built around proper independent contractor structure by design. Agencies should consult their legal counsel for guidance specific to their state and payer mix.

A bench is built before you need it - not during a census spike or a Friday afternoon call-out. Target 5-10 credentialed caregivers per 50 active patients who are verified, available for per diem, and have completed at least one shift through your agency. On Quinable, your bench is the entire active provider network in your market - you're not limited to caregivers you've personally recruited. The agencies that never scramble have built platform access and market familiarity before the crisis arrives.

When a caregiver no-shows on Quinable, the Reliability Score system activates automatically. First offense: 7-day platform restriction. Second offense: 14-day restriction. Third offense: 365-day restriction. These are enforced uniformly with zero exceptions. The agency receives immediate notification and can repost the shift to find replacement coverage. The no-show is permanently recorded in the caregiver's verified profile - visible to all future employers on the platform.

Scaling from 20 to 100 patients requires three things moving in parallel: referral source development, caregiver supply, and operational infrastructure that doesn't break under volume. The staffing piece is where most agencies stall - they try to hire W2 caregivers fast enough to keep pace with census growth, which is slow and expensive. A marketplace model gives you immediate access to a credentialed caregiver pool that scales with census without proportional hiring. Quinable's AI-assisted onboarding means new market capacity activates quickly rather than waiting on recruiting cycles.

A staffing agency acts as the employer - they recruit, hire, and deploy caregivers, charging a 40-60% markup to cover overhead and profit. Quinable is a direct marketplace - caregivers are independent professionals who post their availability, and agencies and facilities access them directly at a 10-20% transaction fee. There is no agency middleman, no markup stack, and no waiting for a staffing agency's internal process. Agencies get full visibility into caregiver profiles, reliability scores, and shift history before confirming anyone.

Yes. Quinable serves hospice and palliative care providers alongside home health agencies and post-acute facilities. Caregiver competency tags include hospice-specific experience, high-acuity home environments, and comfort care. Hospice providers can post per diem shifts and filter for caregivers with documented hospice experience through Quinable's verified competency system.

Post the open shift on Quinable. Every available credentialed HHA (Home Health Aide) in your market sees the posting instantly through the mobile app. Quinable's HHA network is pre-verified - active credential status, background check, OIG screening, and 523-question competency assessment completed before any HHA appears in search results. For Texas markets specifically, Quinable has HCSSA-focused HHA networks in DFW, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and 12 additional cities.

For Dallas home health agencies, Quinable has 1,800+ credentialed providers across Tarrant, Dallas, Collin, and Denton counties covering Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Arlington, Garland, Irving, McKinney, Frisco, and 25+ surrounding communities. DFW is one of Quinable's most active Texas markets for HCSSA staffing. Agencies can post same-day shifts and access the full DFW caregiver network at quinable.com/staffing/dallas-fort-worth-tx.

The largest controllable cost in most home health agencies is flexible staffing. If you're using traditional staffing agencies for per diem coverage at 40-60% markup, shifting to a marketplace model at 10-15% is the single highest-impact margin move available. On $10,000/week in per diem staffing spend, that difference is $2,500-5,000 per week in gross savings. The second biggest opportunity is coordinator efficiency - replacing manual shift coordination with a platform that handles broadcast and matching reduces labor cost per shift dramatically.

Quinable verifies every credential before a caregiver can appear in any match result. Active license status is confirmed directly through state licensing boards - not self-reported. Criminal background checks, OIG exclusion screening, sex offender registry checks, TB documentation, and CPR certification are all verified and tracked for expiration. Caregivers are automatically suspended from shift acceptance when any credential expires. You're choosing from a roster that has already been vetted - not trusting a resume.

Yes. Quinable has caregiver competency tags for pediatric home health, allowing agencies to filter specifically for caregivers with documented pediatric experience. This is particularly relevant for private duty nursing and pediatric skilled home health cases where specialized experience is a patient safety requirement. Competency is verified through Quinable's assessment process - not self-reported.

Quinable generates a complete documentation trail for every shift - GPS-verified clock-in and clock-out, EVV timestamps, caregiver credential status at time of service, and post-shift completion records. All records are exportable on demand with one-click audit packages. For Texas HHSC audits specifically, Quinable's documentation covers EVV requirements, caregiver credential verification, and visit completion records. Having a complete digital documentation trail is the difference between a smooth audit and a compliance crisis.

Yes. Quinable's Starter plan at $149/month is designed for smaller agencies. Under Quinable's 50-Hour Rule, agencies committing 50 or more caregiver hours per week are immediately onboarded. Agencies in the 25-49 hour range are evaluated individually. Smaller agencies often see the most dramatic ROI from Quinable because they're replacing expensive per-staffing-agency calls with direct marketplace access - eliminating the minimum fees and markup overhead that hit small agencies hardest.

Agencies with reliable last-minute coverage have one thing in common: they built platform access before the crisis. On Quinable, last-minute coverage works because the posting reaches every available credentialed caregiver in the market simultaneously - not sequentially. One post replaces 20 phone calls. For same-day and next-day coverage, active Quinable agencies in Texas, Michigan, and Illinois report consistent fill rates even for urgent postings because of market depth.

Yes - Michigan is Quinable's deepest market. 100,000+ credentialed providers statewide with the strongest concentration in SNF-focused markets: Detroit (40,000+), Grand Rapids (14,000+), Lansing (9,000+), Ann Arbor (8,000+), Flint (7,000+), Kalamazoo (6,000+), Saginaw (5,000+), and Traverse City (2,400+). Michigan SNFs access Quinable at a flat 20% transaction fee with no subscription requirement. Same-day CNA, LPN, and RN coverage is standard across Michigan markets.

Turnover in home health runs at 75% annually industry-wide. The agencies with lower turnover share common practices: competitive pay (possible when you're not paying 40-60% staffing agency markups), consistent hours and advance scheduling, and fast reliable payment. Quinable's prepaid wallet infrastructure means caregivers are paid promptly without the invoicing delays that push caregivers to competitors. Payment speed and reliability are consistently cited alongside hourly rate as top retention factors.

Yes. Quinable has caregiver competency tags for trach and vent experience, allowing agencies to filter for caregivers with documented high-acuity home health skills. Given the patient safety stakes for trach and vent cases, Quinable's verification approach - competency assessed through a 523-question skills evaluation rather than self-reported - is particularly important for these placements.

Quinable has processed $40M+ in workforce activity since May 2021 across both home health agencies and healthcare facilities nationally. The platform is actively used in Texas, Michigan, and Illinois with expansion ongoing. There are 5,862 HCSSA-licensed agencies in Texas alone - Quinable's Texas HCSSA market is one of its fastest-growing verticals.

A CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) is state-certified to provide clinical personal care and is required to be on the nurse aide registry. An HHA (Home Health Aide) is trained specifically for home health environments and may have a different certification pathway depending on the state. Quinable staffs both CNAs and HHAs, along with LPNs and RNs, with separate 523-question competency assessments for each credential type. Agencies can post shifts specifying the exact credential required and filter candidates accordingly.

Night shift and weekend coverage are the hardest fills for agencies relying on a limited personal roster. Quinable solves this by giving agencies access to the full credentialed caregiver network in their market - including caregivers who specifically prefer overnight and weekend work. Post weekend shifts by Thursday for best coverage. Post night shifts at least 4-6 hours before start time. Quinable's market depth in Texas, Michigan, and Illinois means active caregivers are available across all shift types.

Yes - this is the recommended model. Quinable works best as a flex layer on top of a reliable W2 core. W2 employees handle consistent patient relationships and recurring scheduled visits. Quinable covers call-outs, census spikes, weekend overflow, new case ramp-up, and geographic expansion into areas where the agency doesn't yet have W2 staff. Most agencies find the hybrid model reduces total staffing cost while improving coverage reliability compared to either pure W2 or pure marketplace approaches.

Quinable was founded in 2020 by Brandon Armstrong (CEO and Co-Founder) as a Delaware C-Corporation headquartered in Austin, Texas. Brandon Armstrong built Quinable's technology platform to address systemic caregiver reliability problems in the home health and post-acute care industries. Since May 2021, Quinable has processed $40M+ in workforce activity and grown to 100,000+ credentialed providers nationally.

Yes. Quinable has a mobile app for caregivers available on both iOS (Apple App Store) and Android (Google Play). Caregivers use the app to view open shifts in their area, accept shifts, clock in and out with GPS verification, complete EVV documentation, and track their Reliability Score. The app is the primary interface through which caregivers interact with the platform and receive shift notifications in real time.

Go to quinable.com/get-started.html. Agencies are evaluated under Quinable's 50-Hour Rule: agencies committing 50 or more caregiver hours per week are immediately onboarded. Agencies in the 25-49 hour range are reviewed individually. The onboarding process is AI-assisted and designed for fast activation - most agencies are operational on the platform within days of application approval. No long-term contract is required.
