Huh, I worked for an agency and built a site that was essentially "Uber for Nurses" back in 2010. I was immediately like "it's not them is it?" No, seems they shut down in 2017.
As far as I know, never really took off, at least while I was maintaining it, but the gig economy wasn't in full swing yet.
All that said, the sheer number of forms and amount of paperwork the site required you to fill out just to sign up had to have been a limiting factor in getting you in the door. Real high friction getting people in the door.
I wonder if Eshyft was able to somehow simplify the process.
Covid lead to a wave of quitting, retirements, sick calls and increased health care demand so nurses could flex their spot in the market place and get the new market rate through contracting.
