Overview
Executive summary
In healthcare talent acquisition, staffing underserved, rural, and tribal communities is one of the most complex challenges in the industry. Arc Health, a Public Benefit Corporation, specialises in placing clinicians — doctors, nurses, and nurse practitioners — into short-term and long-term medical assignments where healthcare access is most critical.
When Niki Simoneaux, Chief Operating Officer at Arc Health, first evaluated HireQuotient's EasySource, she tested a single seat to solve top-of-funnel sourcing bottlenecks. Impressed by the speed, the licence-filtering capabilities, and the dedicated team support, Arc Health rapidly expanded from one seat to five, embedding EasySource across her entire talent operations team.
60%+ faster time to close niche clinical positions.
$35,000+ captured in operational and tool cost savings.
One pilot seat became five-plus as EasySource was embedded across the entire talent operations team.

The sector challenge
The 3% talent pool in rural and tribal healthcare
Recruiting in healthcare comes with extreme structural friction.
Severe clinician shortages
Across the U.S., shortages of physicians, nurses, and nurse practitioners make competition for every qualified candidate fierce.
The “special kind of person” requirement
Arc Health does not just fill open shifts — it staffs rural and tribal healthcare facilities that demand deep cultural sensitivity, empathy, and personal commitment. Only about 3% of healthcare providers are actively aligned with this kind of mission-driven work.
Legacy tool bottlenecks
General sourcing tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter and Indeed lack specialised medical licence filters, and they become cost-prohibitive quickly once outreach is attempted at nationwide scale.
“The number of providers interested in our specific work is small — maybe 3%. We either need to reach out to huge numbers affordably or filter for very specific needs. LinkedIn and Indeed were either cost-prohibitive for large-scale outreach or lacked medical-specific filters. With EasySource, we can do both: reach a huge database or use technology to filter for specific licences and areas.”
The journey
From a single pilot seat to organisation-wide adoption
A single seat trial
Niki began with EasySource looking for an efficient way to discover clinicians who held both the right state medical licences and the empathy that underserved communities require. Sourcing for these niche positions manually meant hours of scanning registries and sending low-converting messages.
Building for cultural fit
Rather than handing over a static software tool, the HireQuotient team worked directly with Niki to build custom healthcare workflows. Meeting with Smarthveer Sidana, Founder and CEO of HireQuotient, she stressed the need to identify cultural fit and empathy — qualities that never appear on a standard résumé. HireQuotient listened, modelled a solution, and shipped a beta tailored to Arc Health's mission.
Scaling to five-plus seats
Granular medical filtering, affordable large-scale outreach, and hands-on adoption support together transformed Arc Health's recruitment engine. Recognising the competitive edge it gave her team, Niki expanded the deployment from one seat to five-plus, equipping every recruiter with an EasySource AI co-pilot.

“It's been great to partner with Smarth and his team. The team focuses on adoption to ensure we actually see the benefits, and they collaborate with us to create custom solutions based on our specific company needs. I see AI as a tool for efficiency — however, we still rely on people to make it personal and pick up on subtleties. The team provides a real partnership to solve problems, and that is what it takes to stay ahead.”
