The company
WorkUp is a technology platform focused on providing health systems the tools they need to expand, engage and convert their clinical talent pipeline.
Healthcare is facing a dire clinical workforce shortage. More than 20% of clinical healthcare jobs sit unfilled, resulting in high cost temporary staffing, delayed services, and even facility closings. Exacerbating the problem is a complex talent pipeline, managed by different teams across multiple tools, excel and paper. Even the most modern CRMs are too complicated and time intensive for thinly stretched talent facing healthcare teams.
WorkUp is led by entrepreneurs who’ve collectively launched and scaled five successful tech platforms. WorkUp combines automation and AI native tools to futureproof healthcare’s talent-facing initiatives. WorkUp is backed by accomplished investors at Menlo Ventures and Fika Ventures.
